Larry shares daughter Dannielynn with the late Anna Nicole Smith. The couple met at the Kentucky Derby in 2004 and welcomed their daughter in 2006. After Smith’s death in 2007, Birkhead became Dannielynn’s primary caregiver and has largely raised her away from the spotlight.

“It’s kind of been a tradition that we would go every year,” he said in May 2022. “That’s where I met Anna Nicole Smith. And it’s something that I’ve taken my daughter back every year since. She’s old enough to kind of understand what it is.”

He continued, “Since I did meet her mom there, it started off just kind of me taking her back and showing her around and kind of letting her know the stories that, you know, this is kind of where I met your mom and things.
