NASSAU, Bahamas, March 17 (UPI) -- The photographer who claims to have fathered Anna Nicole Smith's baby, Larry Birkhead, says he feels "really good" about the Bahamas custody hearing.
"I feel really good. What seems like has taken months and months in California basically is going pretty quick here in the Bahamas. I feel
good about that. I think good things are coming pretty soon," Birkhead told U.S. TV's "Access Hollywood" after the hearing adjourned.
Birkhead is seeking custody of 6-month-old Dannielynn and filed paternity and custody suits in both the United States and the Bahamas, where the child was born and currently lives.
Also claiming paternity is Howard K. Stern, Smith's companion at the time of her death Feb. 8. He is listed as the father on the child's birth certificate. Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, also seeking custody of Smith's daughter, attended the hearing in Nassau Friday.
"You just hope for the best and I'm pleased with what I heard today and I'll stay as long as I have to stay to get done what I need to get done," Birkhead said.
A DNA expert is expected to testify when the hearing resumes next week, "Access Hollywood" said.
