John Edwards Divorce – Disgraced politician John Edwards is headed for divorce court after Elizabeth Edwards decided enough was enough.
Cancer-stricken Elizabeth Edwards, who’s already endured more than two years of embarrassment since reports of her husband’s infidelity began leaking in October 2007, has had enough.
Elizabeth, now 60, stood by Edwards, 56, when rumors of his fling with a videographer spread – along with whispers of a love child.
John Edwards finally admitted last week to fathering Frances Quinn, who is almost 2 years old – and a juicy book on his affair with the baby mama, Rielle Hunter, is now about to hit the shelves.
So how much more can one woman take? Not much, according to Elizabeth’s sister.
“She said, ‘I’ve had it. I can’t do this. I want my life back,’” Nancy Anania revealed to People magazine. “She’s got cancer and has young children and totally believes in marriage, but she can only do so much.”
John Edwards confirmed his separation from wife Elizabeth yesterday, calling it “an extraordinarily sad moment.”
Elizabeth has had divorce papers ready for a year, but an insider says trust issues finally pushed the couple over the edge.
John feels like, ‘I can’t live with you checking my cell phone, asking who I was with, where I went. That’s not how I want to live the rest of my life,’” he told the New York Daily News.
“I think they realized she still doesn’t trust him and, therefore, they shouldn’t live together until she can,” the source continues.
However, North Carolina law requires the couple to be separated for a year before they file for divorce.
John Edwards ends his statement with the assurance that “I love my children more than anything and still care deeply about Elizabeth.”
And that’s the latest news on the John Edwards divorce.
