In a very telling statement released last night, Edwards said “It is an extraordinarily sad moment, but I love my children more than anything and still care deeply about Elizabeth.” What stood out most in that statement is that although Edwards said he loves his children, he did not say he still loves Elizabeth. North Carolina law requires a one year legal separation before it can grant a divorce, which many sources close to the situation see as inevitable. “He was young and good looking and charming [and] his wife did not fit Hollywood’s central casting of what a political wife should look like. She was a little bit heavy-set. She was an attorney in her own right. She was somebody who was his intellectual equal, if not intellectual superior,” said Democratic political consultant Joe Sinsheimer. John Edwards has reportedly already moved out of their elaborate Chapel Hill estate.
Elizabeth Edwards is currently battling a malignant recurrence of breast cancer. She and John Edwards have 1 adult daughter and two young children. Their eldest son, Wade, was killed in an automobile accident in 1996.
H*ll if even 50% of what's been reported is TRUE, the man had made all kinds of plans for himself following his wife's "Death" and he was indeed betting on her to die…SOON! I never liked him. My family and friends will tell ya_smh. Even before this sorry story broke, something about him always seemed slimey to me. The was NO WAY he was ever getting my vote.
