The rules changed a couple years ago. She is your qualifying child even if you don't have income and don't file, so she can't be his qualifying relative.
Taking the IRS jargon out of that - no he can't claim her. He might be able to claim you, though. In any case, he can't file as head of household based on having you as a dependent.

I claimed my girlfriend and her kid once or twice. I got audited and they didn't say a word. This was several years ago and it could have changed. They need all the money they can get so the multimillionairs can get a break.

nope - she doesn't fit with the relationship test.
