John Edwards and his new daughter

At nearly two years old, Frances Quinn Hunter isn’t “new,” of course. But for the first time, former presidential candidate John Edwards has admitted he fathered the child during an affair with videographer Rielle Hunter.

According to the Associated Press story, it appears that Frances — known as “Quinn” — was conceived “during the middle of 2007.” That would be close to July 2007, when Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, renewed their wedding vows in honor of their 30th anniversary.

But the most interesting thing about today’s story, to me at least, was this quote from Elizabeth Edwards, who reportedly urged her husband to acknowledge his paternity of the child. She has said that whether or not he fathered the child didn’t matter to her…”that would be a part of John’s life, but not a part of mine.”
