Speaking about their shared attributes, the 46-year-old said:

“You know, the ability to spend money! That’s probably there. That’s probably the biggest. But beyond that, you know, she’s got some personality traits of her mom’s, and she’s funny, but I think she’s a good mix of the two of us.”

He also disclosed that fans of the former “Playboy” model help keep Anna’s memory alive for Dannielynn whenever they come up to her to gush about her mother’s influence on their lives.

The docuseries, “Helplessly In Love: Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead,” focuses on Larry’s side of his two-year love story with Anna.

Anna and Larry were together until her demise in 2007. They welcomed their daughter Dannielynn in 2006, and Larry was granted full custody of her after DNA results proved his paternity.

Since her mother’s demise, Daily Mail notes that Larry has kept a low profile for the sake of protecting Dannielynn from the troubles of Hollywood.

Nevertheless, he still makes sure their 13-year-old carries on her mother’s legacy with her talent. Dannielynn follows in her mother’s career footsteps and is a Guess model.

As revealed by Heavy, Anna and Larry first met in 2004 at the Barnstable Brown Gala, a pre-Kentucky Derby fundraising for diabetes research. Larry, who was there as a photographer, describes the day as “a different day at work.”

Last year, Dannielynn made headlines in June when she graduated from 7th grade per PEOPLE.

To mark the milestone, Larry shared photos of his baby girl on social media and gifted her with tickets to Hamilton musical for her graduation.
