Anna Nicole Smith's ex Larry Birkhead is looking for love.
The 41-year-old, who is the father and caretaker of his and Anna Nicole's daughter Danielynn Birkhead, finally wants to start dating again after being single since Anna Nicole's death eight years ago. And who better to help him search for romance than the one and only Patti Stanger from Millionaire Matchmaker?!
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Stanger says she actually knew Anna Nicole a bit before Larry enlisted her help on the upcoming season of Millionaire Matchmaker.
"I had fixed Anna Nicole up on her show, so I knew a little bit about her," Stanger said, adding of Larry, "He felt like she died mad at him. He was madly in love with her and he wouldn't give her up. He had a shrine in his house to her."
Stanger says Larry is quite the catch. "The thing is, he's the most sweetest, most wonderful man. I call him Care Bear," she dished. "And he took care of his entire extended family in his house, shrine, daughter. Where was [his] time to date?!"
But Stanger changed that! "You gotta make time for yourself. It's the No. 1 rule," she said. "Love must be a priority. And so I teach him how to do it and how to hunt and fish."
