Disc Jockey Paul DelVecchio, popularly known as DJ Pauly D, says he was nervous before meeting his five-month-old daughter for the first time and feared that she might not like him.
The 33-year-old recently discovered that he fathered a baby girl, Amabella, in May after a fling in Las Vegas with Amanda Markert. He met the child for the first time earlier this month.
"I was nervous if she wasn't going to like me. But the second I saw the baby, her eyes just lit up. It's almost like she knew," usmagazine.com quoted Pauly as saying.
"It was amazing. I knew she was mine right off the bat too because she looks just like me. She came right over to me and put her arms right up to me. (She) grabbed my hair! That's the first thing she went for. And then she was biting my nose," he added.
