Rumors that former Sen. John Edwards is engaged to Rielle Hunter, his mistress and mother of his daughter, are false, two sources have told NBC News.
According to a source close to the Edwards family, John Edwards says that the report is false, and he is not engaged. A source close to Rielle Hunter also denies reports of the engagement.
Tabloid publication the National Enquirer reported “close sources” as saying Edwards popped the question just before he issued his Jan. 21, 2010 statement confirming that he fathered daughter Frances Quinn with Hunter. The Enquirer also claimed Edwards is buying a $3.5 million luxury beachfront home for his second family.
