Now What?
Famecrawler – Well, now that the cat is reportedly out of the bag — i.e. a DNA test has proved John Edwards is officially the father of Rielle’s baby — the former lovers are moving closer to share parental responsibilities. Unsurprisingly, Elizabeth Edwards is livid.
From The Enquirer:
“John is definitely behind Rielle’s move to Wilmington,” declared an insider. “There’s absolutely no way that he didn’t approve or arrange her moving closer to him – it’s all part of his new plan to do the right thing. “John’s admitted to his family and close friends that he’s the father of Frances. He says he wants to be a part of her life and help raise his daughter.”
Frankly, I’d call that being responsible and finally owning up to his cheating ways, but apparently that’s not how his wife sees it — understandably. Regardless, it appears that John plans to be a father to Frances Hunter-Edwards. The ENQUIRER also learned that his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth exploded in a rage when he told her of his parenting plans and that he’s moving his mistress and baby to Wilmington, near his plush $2.6 million waterfront mansion. I’s hard to know how much to trust either the DNA test story or this one, BUT it was the National Enquirer that originally broke the story on John’s cheating, so you’ve got to give them a little credit.
Entertainment Tonight – On CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday night, Elizabeth Edwards addresses the paternity questions surrounding her husband, former U.S. Senator John Edwards.
“My expectation is that at some point, something happens,” Elizabeth said when asked if she knew whether there would be a paternity test related to her husband’s former mistress’ Rielle Hunter’s young daughter. “I hope that for the sake of this child, that it happens in a quiet way.”
