DNA tests prove it: Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s million-dollar baby.

“I told you so!” the late Playboy Playmate’s former boyfriend said Tuesday upon emerging from a closed court hearing. He added: “My baby’s going to be coming home pretty soon.”

Birkhead, a 34-year-old California photographer, then hugged his rival, Howard K. Stern, who has been caring for baby Dannielynn since Smith’s sudden death in February.

The baby, whose full name is Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, could inherit millions from Marshall’s estate. Smith, a former model, had been fighting the Texas oil tycoon’s family over his estimated $500 million fortune since his death in 1995.

The question of who inherits Smith’s estate remains unresolved. A 2001 will released after her death in February said her fortune should be held in trust for her son, who died last year. The 19-page will named Stern as her executor but did not say how much Smith was worth. It remains a mystery how much her daughter might get.
