Former Presidential Candidate John Edwards Quietly Separated from Wife

A report by People magazine stated that former Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, quietly separated from his wife, Elizabeth, before he admitted to fathering a child outside of their marriage.

John responded to this report by saying, “it is an extraordinarily sad moment, but I love my children more than anything and still care deeply about Elizabeth.”

People included the Edwards’ story on its cover and reported that Elizabeth had a mediated visit in a North Carolina hotel with the 23-month-old child whom John fathered with his mistress.

Elizabeth’s sister, Nancy Anania, told People that Elizabeth said, “I’ve had it.  I can’t do this.  I want my life back.”

Elizabeth’s spokeswoman has stated that she is moving on with her life following an “excruciatingly painful period for her.”

The couple is currently living in different residences.
