Larry Birkhead will not share legal custody of his and Anna Nicole Smith's daughter.
Birkhead is determined to raise Dannielynn alone after DNA tests proved he is her biological father.
However, Anna Nicole's mother Virgie Arthur has indicated she may apply for custody, saying: "I'm glad to find out who the father is, I just want to be the grandmother. It's not over, but it's getting a lot better."
Birkhead doesn't want a custody battle and insists he will let Arthur visit whenever she wants.
He told the 'Today' show: "We might go from one fight to another, but I'm hoping that's not the case because there's only one dad, and I have no problem with anyone that has good intentions being allowed to visit the baby and be a part of the baby's life.
"It would imply that I'm unfit as a parent, which I'm not. I'm looking forward to giving Dannielynn everything that she needs and all the love and support."
Howard K. Stern - who was named as Dannielynn's father on her birth certificate - said he was "disappointed" by the DNA results but will support Birkhead in any custody battle.
