LOS ANGELES The husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor said Friday he had a decade-long affair with Anna Nicole Smith and may be her infant daughter's father.
The claim by Prince Fredric von Anhalt comes amid a paternity suit over Smith's 5-month old daughter, Dannielynn. The birth certificate lists Dannielynns father ad attorney Howard K. Stern, but former Smith boyfirend Larry Birkhead is waging a legal challenge.
"If you go back from September, she wasnt with one of those guys, she was with me," Von Anhalt told the Associated Press in an interview Friday.
He said he would file a lawsuite if Dannielynn is turned over to Stern or Birkhead.
A message seeking comment from Smith's attorney, Ron Rale, was not immediately returned Friday.
Von Anhalt, 59, and Gabor, 90, have been married for more than 20 years.
Gabor, a onetime sex symbol and star of such 1950's films as "Moulin Rouge" and "Queen of Outer Space," has been in declining health in recent years and suffered a stroke in 2005. She waspartially paralyzed in a car crash in 2002.
Von Anhalt, who is Gabor's eighth husband, said he and Smith met when Smith was still married to elderly oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. He said Smith approached him and Gabor at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
"She was a very big fan of Zsa Zsa and wanted to be like Zsa Zsa," he said. "She wanted to be a princess.
He said the two started an affair soon after, meeting over the years in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. For that much of that time, Smith urged him to make her a primcess like his wife.
But short of divorcing the actress, he said the only solution would have been adopting Smith. Von Anhalt said he did consider that and even filled out adoption papers, but Gabor refused to sign them.
He said he never admitted the affair to his wife, but that he's sure she knows. She would sometime answer the phone when Smith called him.
"She was a very sexy woman," von Anhalt said. "To have an affair with her is the top, you know."
