Just three weeks after the death of his former wife Elizabeth, John Edwards is reportedly newly engaged to his mistress Reille Hunter.
According to the National Enquirer, John proposed to Reille during a festive holiday getaway. The National Enquirer is reporting a lot of juicy details (whether or not they’re true has yet to be confirmed) but here are the highlights of the report:
- “In an outrageous disregard for his wife Elizabeth’s deathbed wish, John Edwards proposed to his mistress, Reille Hunter just three weeks after buring his heartbroken spouse.”
- Over the holidays, John introduced his children to Reille and Reille has directed “John’s young children to call me Mommy.”
- “The disgraced two-time presidential loser ended the late December get-together by pledging his love to Reille and promising they would all eventually become one big happy family.”
The controversial magazine ended the article by quoting an insider as saying “Elizabeth must be turning over in her grave!”
These are some pretty powerful claims on behalf of the semi-reputable tabloid. The National Enquirer has had a lot of stories wrong over the years but they’ve also been the first to break a lot of news (like Patrick Swayze being diagnosed with cancer).
Do you think these reports are true? Is John Edwards really audacious enough (or should we say disrespectful enough) to propose to his mistress/mother-of-his-love-child three weeks after his ex-wife’s death?
Well, this is the man who destroyed his 33-year marriage by cheating on his wife and impregnating his mistress, so I think the answer is pretty obvious.
