John Edwards & Wife Legally Separate
Disgraced former presidential contender John Edwards and his wife have reportedly legally separated after he admitted he is the father of a baby girl whose mom he repeatedly bedded during his 2008 White House run.
After spending Christmas together with their three kids, Edwards and his wife quietly parted ways.
“[Elizabeth] said, ‘I’ve had it. I can’t do this. I want my life back,” Elizabeth Edwards’ sister, Nancy Anania.
“A long marriage is a tough habit to break, and when you throw in incurable cancer and young children, it makes you waver. But I hear peace in her voice that i haven’t heard in a long time.”
The couple have three children, Cate, 27; Emma Claire, 11; and Jack, 9.
Elizabeth, 60, who is still undergoing treatment for breast cancer, has had divorce papers ready for nearly a year and had not yet filed the paperwork. Elizabeth even gave her husband’s baby Christmas presents.
“She gave it a lot of thought, wrapped up a bunch of Christmas presents, took them to the baby and was so pleased when Quinn made a beeline to the toy carriage and doll. She even said to Quinn, ‘Go stand next to Daddy.’”
The revelations of the couple’s separation come as a former aide to John Edwards says in a new book that the former North Carolina senator told him he thought about leaving his wife — but also cited his love for her as a reason to keep details of an affair hidden.
Next, he’ll be setting up home with the mistress and helping raise the kid — then make his bid for the White House.
