In her final interview with DailyMail in 2017, Virgie Arthur revealed that save for occasional pictures that Larry Birkhead sends, she had minimal contact with Dannielynn Birkhead. At the time, Arthur had reportedly not seen her granddaughter for seven years. “I want to be part of Dannielynn’s life. She is my daughter’s child and the only one left in that line of lives. … [Dannielynn] never has got to know any of them. It’s not fair to her not to know her mother’s side of the family,” Arthur said in the interview.
While she accused Larry of alienating Dannielynn from her maternal family, Arthur insisted that she would someday lead her to find out more about her mother. “Vickie Lynn was very curious and Dannielynn will be too. Every daughter wants to know their mother,” she noted. But despite not having an existing relationship, in the interview Arthur called out to her granddaughter, telling the little one she is holding out hope for a reconnection. “I hope that one day you will come find us, baby, and you can see how your momma lived and what fun she was,” she said.

Despite Arthur’s allegations, however, Birkhead claimed in an interview with Inside Edition that Dannielynn had in fact met with her grandmother. “Anna’s mom has seen Dannielynn, and she’s seen her a few times. I say that only because I want the story to stop,” he told the outlet.
