Dannielynn Birkhead, Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, will begin her senior year of high school in a few months, and her father couldn’t be more proud.
Larry Birkhead celebrated Dannielynn’s academic success with a nice Instagram post on Thursday. Two of the three photos in the post showed the daughter laughing while looking at her phone in the back seat of a car while Larry was driving — Larry’s caption stated that he was “trying to have a serious conversation” with his daughter while she was trolling him with “the worst pics” of him she’d taken on her phone — and the third showed her honor roll certificates.
Larry mentioned in the caption that Dannielynn had recently completed 11th grade and praised her for keeping on the honor roll through “challenging times” for their family.
“Dannielynn finished 11th grade and maintained honor roll status despite the difficult times we had caring for my mother before she died.” “I am overjoyed!” Larry wrote something in his caption. “Now it’s on to summer vacation and then 12th grade.”
He also made a joke about Dannielynn’s penchant for taking bad images of him, saying, “In the meantime, hopefully she can take some better pictures of me.” I’m thinking of teaching her photography during the summer.”

Larry has revealed snippets of his and Dannielynn’s lives on social media and in interviews throughout the years. Every year, the two attend the Kentucky Derby, where Larry claims he first met Smith, and during the 2023 event in May, Larry told People that Dannielynn is starting to look at universities. That has him a little worried.
“It’s one of those things where she’s just now dipping her toe into getting stuff, and people are mailing her things,” Larry explained, noting that his daughter has expressed an interest in forensics as a possible career route. “And every time I get something in the mail for college, I don’t know if I really want to give it to her because she might take them up on this offer and go somewhere to college.”
“It’s one of those things that all parents go through,” he continued. They don’t want their children to leave, but they know they must.”

Larry erased his Instagram account before the launch of Netflix’s Anna Nicole Smith documentary, which aired in May, and spoke out against the production, which he termed a “poorly reviewed cesspool.” He told Entertainment Tonight that he and Dannielynn, who was just five months old when her mother died in 2007, “declined to participate” in “You Don’t Know Me” because “some people were allowed to invent things and rewrite history” in the documentary, according to Larry.
“I am looking forward to a true, definitive Anna Nicole project where her truth can be heard from her own perspective and by those who truly knew her best, not just another ‘wash, rinse, repeat’ Anna Nicole project,” he said. Anna deserves more, and she will get it.”
