Washington (CNN) -- Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina has admitted that he fathered a girl with his mistress.

"I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves," Edwards said in a statement.

The former 2008 Democratic presidential candidate previously denied that he was the girl's father.

"It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me," Edwards said.

"To all those I have disappointed and hurt, these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry."

Edwards earlier admitted that he had an affair with Rielle Hunter while he was campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Edwards' campaign paid Hunter $114,000 to make a series of short videos about his presidential campaign, and she traveled extensively with the candidate's entourage.
Hunter gave birth in February 2008 to a baby girl. She is widely reported to have named the girl Quinn.

Edwards denied that he was the girl's father for more than a year, saying the affair was over before Hunter became pregnant.

Now he has admitted it.

"I am Quinn's father," his statement said. "I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace.

"I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future."
have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future."

Man. He was one of the politicians I liked, too.

Well, I never really did believe that it was anyone's business, because regardless of my opinions on SLIMEY CHEATERS, it's really a family matter and of no one else's concern... and I defended Clinton on that basis, because I felt that my concern was only in what type of job he was doing as president, and I felt that he was a good one, regardless of his marital situation, so I guess the same applies here.

Still... ugh. Just sad.

LOL. Edwards is not a ugly looking guy. With his money and his looks, he can get a 100x better than this hag. Perhaps he needs to enroll at Tiger Woods School of Mistresses for choosing the right one.

On what basis? His $1000 haircut? His penchant for building a fortune chasing ambulances? Being all style and no substance? LOL. this guy was as phony as a three dollar bill, I saw that right away with this dirtbag.

John Edwards thought he could get away wiht denial . Unfortunately that all changed when the kid started walking. Apparently the kid got up, hopped off the front porch and started chasing a passing ambulance.... that was proof the kid was a chip off the old block
