Why are two different men clamouring to claim fatherhood of Anna Nicole Smith's baby?

[glarius]

Am I the only one who finds it humourous that two different men are claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby? It seems to me the usual thing is that the men would be scrambling to disclaim fatherhood. Hmmmm.... Could it have anything to do with the fact that Ms. Smith stands to inherit millions of dollars?.....Makes you wonder doesn't it?

P.S....Where's Maury Povich when we need him?

1. Establish paternity ...

... sue for custody, then demand big bucks for "child support".

[Marnieworld]

2. um, she has money?

More than them? Set to inherit a fortune once her litigation is complete.

It makes the world go 'round ya know.

3. Waddya call a gold digger digging on a gold digger?

There must be a special name for that. Sounds so Jonathan Swifty

On edit...A Claim Jumper?????????

8. Ya......it just seems kind of hilarious to me how the whole thing is

turned around from what it usually is.....everybody running for cover and saying...."it wasn't me!!!!!!"

11. It is rather weird

9. I'm surprised only two have come forward so far

[davsand]

12. They want to say, "Yep, I did her."

I'm sure it is male ego along WITH greed...

13. um...

maybe they both had sex with her at around the same time she got pregnant?

Is that so unlikely?

[Lusted4]

14. Well it wasn't me, we just necked for awhile. nt

15. She is married to one of them and the other guy

just seems to want to be a part of his child's life if it is his. Plus money may have a little bit to do with it!!!!

18. Her marriage to Howard K. Stern is not a legal marriage...

but they have been together a LONG time. He was once her lawyer, and is now referred to as a longtime friend.

My thoughts are that the other guy is probably the father, but that neither Anna Nicole nor Stern want the baby to have anything to do with him.

[Shell Beau]

21. Yes I agree. And I do know that the marriage isn't

legal in US, but I am guessing they will legalize it. :shrug:

[Nikia]

22. It brings up a point: If they were legally married

Would another man have the right to legally be declared the father if the husband wanted to be the father. I know that legally the husband is usually assumed to be the father but with the accuracy of paternity tests these days, another man might be able to prove that he really is the father.
I know that most "other men" would be happy to let the husband be the father and not be part of his child's life. I suppose some might though. Does this happen? If it is brought to court, what does the court usually decide?

[LeftyMom]

17. They want to inherit when she ODs.

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

19. Is it possible that one is in love with her and the other just wants what he believes

are his rights to his own child?

[liontamer]

20. One is her husband and the other seems to want to be a part of the child's life

I think everybody involved is rich so i doubt that money is the issue.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. The same reason she married a mummy.

do you suppose Anna Nicole Smith's going to be around to see her child turn 18?

Cause I don't.
