John Edwards Admits he is Father of Mistress’s Daughter

John Edwards has admitted he fathered a child with his former mistress, Rielle Hunter. Edwards released a statement to NBC confirming he is the father of Hunter’s 2-year-old daughter Quinn. Attorneys for the North Carolina senator say he has signed a child support agreement with Hunter.

“I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace,” Edwards said in a statement. “It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me. I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future. To all those I have disappointed and hurt these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.”

Hunter has not commented.

After admitting to his affair with Hunter in August 2008, Edwards denied he was Quinn’s father. He claimed his relationship with Hunter ended before the child was conceived. Campaign aide Andrew Young claimed he was Quinn’s father.

Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth Edwards, reportedly learned last summer that Quinn is her husband’s child.
