Elizabeth Edwards Expects DNA Test for Hunter's Baby
Last night, when asked by CNN's Larry King if DNA testing was going to happen, Mrs. Edwards said "my expectation is that, at some point, something happens, and I hope for the sake of this child that it happens… in a quiet way."
CBS affiliate WRAL reported last week that sources anticipate former Sen. Edwards will soon admit that he is the father of Hunter's child. Last August, Sen. Edwards admitted to an affair with Hunter but said the child was not his.
Mrs. Edwards was on Larry King Live to primarily debate health care reform with former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, but she took a few personal questions.
Mrs. Edwards said "everything seems to be going pretty smoothly" at her house, where she is getting her children ready for the upcoming school year. King asked about her health—Mrs. Edwards is diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer—and she said she feels good and has "had recent tests that show me to be in pretty good health, all things considered."
