Larry Birkhead's 'Gay Lover' Speaks!

A former male model has spoken out about his gay relationship with Larry Birkhead, who was recently revealed to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter Dannielynn.

Kerrick Ross has given an interview to the National Enquirer in which he makes the claims.

"We were together for about two months and had sex eight to 10 times, always at my apartment. He often spent the whole night with me." says Kerrick.

Lawyers for Birkhead deny the allegations, though the 32-year old adds:

"I had been 'out' for a long time, but Larry was not out of the closet - and he was terrified about his family, who were devout Southern Baptists, finding out he was having a gay relationship" claims Ross.

Whether this has any bearing on the custody hearing scheduled for Friday remains to be seen...
