16 years after her death, the name of Anna Nicole Smith still stands for fame and controversy. She was a model, an actress, and a television personality who first gained popularity when she won the title of 1993 Playmate of the Year after posing for Playboy magazine.
“I love the paparazzi,” she once told the Washington Post.
“They take pictures, and I just smile away. I’ve always liked the attention. I didn’t get very much growing up, and I always wanted to be, you know, noticed.”
Sadly, the life of glamour took its toll. Smith married petroleum tycoon J. Howard Marshall who was 63 years her senior. This relationship wasn’t just controversial, but a high-profile one and many believe it marked the start of Smith’s downfall. Six months after tying the knot, then 90-year-old Marshal died.
Following his passing, Smith and Marshal’s family got involved in a long and controversial legal battle over his fortune and assets. The case ultimately went as high as the US Supreme Court in 2006.
In 2007, a tragedy struck beautiful Smith died of overdose in 2007, just a few months after she gave birth to her baby daughter Dannielynn. After her death, several men claimed to be the baby’s dad and after paternity tests were ordered, Larry Birkhead got paternity rights.
Today, Dannielynn is all grown up and resembles both her mom and her dad. In fact, she got the best of both and is a real beauty.
Larry takes great care of his daughter and shares adorable photos of the fun time they spend together. They live in Kentucky and Larry makes sure his daughter’s life is as normal as possible. She attends a public school and has a lot of friends.
Speaking of her likes and dislikes and what makes her happy, Larry says Dannielynn wants to follow into her late mom’s footsteps when it comes to acting.
The girl once said, “It’s really cool to like, act as a character and not yourself. It’s like portraying a new person. It’s fun.” She and her dad have appeared on several shows such as ‘Life after Anna’, ‘Wife Swap‘, and ‘The Millionaire Matchmaker.’
Dannielynn wants to try herself as a YouTuber, but her dad thinks she’s way too young to be doing something like that. He wants her to stay out of the spotlight and enjoy her teen years the way her friends do. Speaking to US Weekly, Larry said, “If it’s something you want to do when you get older, you can, but right now let’s sell some Girl Scout cookies.”
Some years ago, an unnamed source told National Enquirer, “Anna Nicole was seduced by the showbiz lifestyle, and Larry wants to make sure Dannielynn doesn’t end up like her. “[Anna Nicole was] chasing stardom and surrounded by greedy hangers-on.”
However, Larry does his best to keep the memory of Smith alive. Last year, Dannielynn paid tribute to her mom by wearing her heat from her appearance at the Kentucky Derby in 2004 and a pink dress. The resemblance with her mom is there, although as she grows older, Dannielynn seems to be taking more after her dad.
Speaking of her character, Larry told Fox News, “She’s fun and fearless like her mom was. She’s a good kid. I’m just happy that I’ve been able to spend all the time I have been able to have with her.”
At the Barnstable Brown Gala that took place ahead of the Derby, the now-17-year-old wore a blouse with photographs of her mom. Larry wore a tie featuring the same images.
“She’s showing off her fashion sense but at the same time paying tribute to her mom,” Larry said. He added that he and his daughter had decided to pay tribute to Anna Nicole Smith because it marked the 20th anniversary of the day he had met the model back in 2003. At the time, he was a photographer covering the event.
The late model’s clothes are in Larry’s possession so Dannielynn often goes through them.
“And everything she has of her mom’s is cataloged in storage, with photos of the event where she wore it,” Larry revealed.
“So someday, she can give them to her kids if she wants to.”
We hope Dannielynn will fulfill all her dreams.
Foo Fighters’ Frontman Welcomes Baby Outside Marriage—See His Daughters’ Surprising Response
Dave Grohl, the lead singer of Foo Fighters, has been in the news recently for a big scandal involving his personal life. This news has not only shocked his fans but also affected his family. To escape the intense attention from the media, Grohl’s daughters have chosen to stay away from social media.
Dave Grohl is famous for his energetic performances and big personality. But this recent news about his personal life has caught everyone off guard.
On September 10, Dave Grohl shared on Instagram that he had recently become the father of a new baby girl. However, this baby was not with his wife, Jordyn Blum.
Grohl admitted that he is facing a tough situation and is working hard to rebuild trust with his family. He expressed his love for his wife and children and said he is doing everything he can to earn their forgiveness.
The news about Dave Grohl’s new baby has had a big impact on his family. His two daughters, Violet, 18, and Harper, 15, have chosen to deactivate their Instagram accounts. They may be stepping back from social media to avoid the intense attention and scrutiny.
Violet had a large following with 225,000 fans under the username “viioletgrohl,” while Harper had over 40,000 followers as “harpergrohll.” As of now, both of their accounts are no longer active.
After Dave Grohl’s announcement about his new baby, fans trying to visit Violet and Harper’s Instagram profiles now see a message saying “page not found.” Violet’s account reportedly went blank just an hour after the announcement, but it’s not clear when Harper’s account was deactivated.
Many fans have taken to social media to voice their disappointment. One user expressed their feelings, saying, “This is really disappointing. I know people aren’t perfect and make mistakes, but it’s just another example of how few people take marriage vows seriously.”
Another commenter criticized the impact of Grohl’s actions on his family, saying, “Now a family is torn apart because of it. No matter what you say, kids are never the same after this.”
Other people were shocked by Grohl’s decision. One user asked, “Imagine a man who has it all – money, fame, a house, a family, and a beautiful wife – and he still betrays her in the worst way.”
Users continued to express their frustration, arguing that Grohl’s claim of love for his wife didn’t match his actions. They pointed out that Grohl’s statement about loving his wife while cheating on her seemed contradictory and insincere.
One user suggested that cheating and having a child outside of his marriage was a deep betrayal. They felt it showed a complete lack of understanding of love and respect for his family.
While many expressed their disappointment, others sympathized with Grohl’s family. One fan shared, “Look at how beautiful his family is. It’s heartbreaking to think he would risk it all for something like this. I hope his wife and daughters can find healing and move forward.”
Grohl and Jordyn Blum have been married for over 20 years. They first met in 2001 at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles. Just two years later, on August 2, 2003, they got married. Together, they have three daughters.
Their eldest daughter, Violet, born in 2006, has shown a strong interest in music, much like her father. During the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, Grohl proudly introduced Violet on stage, calling her his “favorite singer in the world.” He shared that they would perform “Show Me How,” a song he wrote for his mother (Violet’s grandmother), which is featured on their latest album, “But Here We Are.”
As the performance wrapped up, Grohl proudly shouted that Violet was “his girl” and joked about how much he enjoyed being on stage with her, even if he hit a wrong note.
The couple’s family also includes Harper, born in 2009, and 10-year-old Ophelia, born in 2014. Despite recent difficulties, Grohl and Blum had continued to be a visible couple. In July 2024, they were spotted together at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London, enjoying the event.
Interestingly, this isn’t Dave Grohl’s first marriage. He was previously married to photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood in the ’90s, but they divorced in 1997.
In a 2007 interview with *The Guardian*, Grohl admitted that infidelity was a factor in their breakup. This issue appears to have resurfaced in his current relationship, as highlighted by his recent announcement.
As Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum navigate this new chapter, their two decades of shared history remind us that even rock legends face the complexities of family and relationships.
