John Edwards
In 2007, the National Enquirer broke the news that Senator John Edwards fathered a daughter with his former campaign videographer Rielle Hunter which he vehemently denied. In 2010 however Edwards came clean and publicly admitted that he was the baby’s father. “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.
“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.”
