In an interview with the tabloid “National Enquirer”, former model Kerrick Ross declared that he had a gay affair with photographer Larry Birkhead, father of Anna Nicole Smith's newborn daughter. The two reportedly met at a party in Louisville, Kentucky, in the mid-2000s, when Birkhead was a real estate agent and budding writer with plans to go to Hollywood. The two were together for two months and had sex about ten times, according to Ross. The former model said that his lover was bisexual and had relationships with other women at the same time. Birkhead met Smith in her home state of Kentucky and used the “Playboy” bunny as her ticket out of there, according to the tabloid. Birkhead representatives deny the story.
