If you're like most of us, you're having a hard time making sense of the relationship between John Edwards and Rielle Hunter. And, more importantly, you're not sure if you want to understand it. If the latest buzz can be believed, Rielle has finally given up on her love...if there was even anything left to give up on.
Despite initially trying to keep everything hush-hush and politically correct, the real reason why Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split after a quarter of a century together finally came out this week. Turns out, the former governor had fathered a love child more than a decade ago with a former member of their household staff (she retired after 20 years in January). Although the Australian actor's behavior is appalling, especially since so many saw the Schwarzennegger-Schriver marriage as iconic, the bodybuilder is certainly not alone in his actions. In fact, he's not even the first politican to be in this situation. In honor of Arnold's recent secret baby daddy confession, here are a few other famous love children who were minus one (publicly acknolwedged) parent at birth. You may not recognize them, but you probably know who their missing father is.
Honestly, we didn’t think there was any way the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter-Elizabeth Edwards saga could have gotten more twisted, but it turns out we were too quick to judge. Now it’s so convoluted we’re losing grasp on all the pieces, another of which dropped today. And it’s a possible bombshell. Reports are surfacing that John Edwards has proposed to his mistress Rielle Hunter--just weeks after his wife Elizabeth passed away from cancer.
The will of Elizabeth Edwards, the recently deceased estranged wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, was released this week and it revealed she bequeathed everything she had to their three children — and nothing to John. It stated: "All of my furniture, furnishings, household goods, jewelry, china, silverware and personal effects and any automobiles owned by me at the time of my death I give and bequeath to my children.”
It's been just a couple of days since Elizabeth Edwards has passed. And, while her family, friends and the public are all mourning her death, rumor has it that the mistress of John Edwards, Rielle Hunter, is eager to become the next Mrs. Edwards soon. According to what we're reading, RadarOnline, which claims to have the exclusive scoop on the matter, quotes a source close to both Rielle and the Edwards family: "Rielle has been very patient through all of this. She still believes that John is her soul mate, and she thinks that they're going to get married."
In a laughable twist to the whole John Edwards cheating on his wife situation, his mistress, Rielle Hunter, is now supposedly straying on the former U.S. Senator, according to the National Enquirer. The way we hear it, it looks like Rielle seems to be frustrated she couldn't marry her lover. So, according to a source that spoke to the Enquirer, "marrying a famous actor is high up in those dreams of hers!" That's why she'd set out to find her old flames like John Cusack and Matt LeBlanc in L.A.—but as it turns out, didn't end up getting very far finding either of them.
In her first television interview since separating from her husband, former Presidential candidate John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards speaks to Matt Lauer (a weird choice if you think about his recent bouts of infidelity) about new chapters— both in her life and in her book Resilience, which was released when their marriage was still in tact and she, publicly defending him. My how things have changed. Below, some of Elizabeth's most poignant lines from the interview.
Elizabeth Edwards does not want John Edwards raising their children Emma (12) and Jack (10) after she is gone, especially if Rielle Hunter remains in the picture. And can you blame her? That nightmare scenario, however, is one that she is having to confront amidst reports that her health has "taken a turn for the worse lately." "She does not want Rielle anywhere near them," says a source to the New York Daily News, a fear made valid throughout the homewrecker's rambling GQ interview last March. After all, Rielle has made it abundantly clear that she remains patiently waiting with unconditional love to re-unite with her Johnny in marriage after Elizabeth's death. A sentiment to which Elizabeth replies, not over or in spite of my dead body.
We're taking a look at some of the worst mistresses of all time to flaunt their way onto front pages.
Thanking the other woman. Spoil the cuckquean and punish the other woman. Christian cartoons against infidelity. Marrying a gay man for his green card. Cohabiting needs a prenup. Leave the magic tricks to David Copperfield when flirting. The state of American Herpes. Tom Matlack on the link between fatherhood and male camaraderie. Referring to one's self as "romantically challenged." Online dating deja vu. And saying I love you the right way.
Rielle Hunter presumably has slept with 34 men and has their names written down.
