The background may look fake but I think the effect happening here is the
little girl is flash filled and that's where the catch lights are coming
from in her eyes.

The flash also creates a weird looking light balance background and
foreground as well.

The only person who can tell you whether it's a fake background is the
photographer, Eric.

So what say you Eric, real or fake? ;-)
