Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend quietly slipped out of the Bahamas aboard a chartered plane with their 7-month-old daughter Tuesday, according to an entertainment news program that had a television crew aboard.
The plane carrying Larry Birkhead and baby Dannielynn stopped briefly in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., before departing for Louisville, Ky., the syndicated program "Access Hollywood" reported on its Web site.
Birkhead, a 34-year-old photographer based in Los Angeles, was authorized by a judge last week to take the girl out of the country. The ruling followed legal battles by Birkhead to prove his paternity claim and gain custody following the former Playboy Playmate's death in February from an accidental drug overdose.
A new Bahamian birth certificate listing Birkhead as the father was issued in line with a court order last week, removing the name of Smith's last companion, Howard K. Stern. Stern had been caring for the girl in the oceanfront home in the Bahamas he shared with Smith.
Birkhead, a Kentucky native, has family in Louisville and has said he met the former Playboy Playmate of the Year there at a Kentucky Derby party in 2003.
A publicist for "Access Hollywood," which is owned by NBC Universal, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
