Elizabeth Edwards passing: will Rielle Hunter marry John Edwards?

According to Radar Online, John Edwards mistress is hoping that she and former Democratic presidential candidate can marry now, reports the Hollywood Gossip

John and Elizabeth Edwards were no strangers to the San Francisco Bay Area when they came here during the campaign. And again, when John Edwards was trying to hide out from the press after the Rielle Hunter scandal broke, San Francisco was the base that was used.

San Francisco residents who are keeping up with the news are learning that a source close to Rielle Hunter is saying that Hunter has been  "very patient" and that she "believes that John is her soul mate, and thinks they are going to get married."

Elizabeth Edwards, estranged wife of John Edwards, has been lauded for her courage in the face of her husband's infidelity as she was battling cancer.

Elizabeth Edwards died of breast cancer this week, age 61. She had undergone chemotherapy, radiation and surgery in order to extend her life. She discovered the cancer when she received a broken rib. See more on that article here

Radar Online has said that Rielle Hunter was carefully watching Elizabeth's situation.

San Francisco residents are learning from Radar Online that "She doesn't care about anyone but herself. She's been selfish and horrible this whole time, no matter what else has been said about her," the source said.

What do fellow San Franciscans says about the incident?  "I think Elizabeth was such an endearing woman and my heart breaks that this happened to her."

"As for the love between John Edwards and Rielle Hunter, I don't know what to say about that, except to say that it certainly was real and the whole situation was just heartbreaking for everyone concerned. I hope they can all find some peace," says Patricia Lafayette, a San Francisco resident.

Hunter currently lives in a home paid for by John Edwards. She lives there with their young daughter Quinn, the child that John Edwards had vehemently denied was his, even going so far as to say it was the child had been fathered by one of his aides.

The National Enquirer broke the story of him visiting Rielle and Quinn in a Beverly Hills hotel back in 2008, after he lost the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama.  According to the Hollywood Gossip news source, Rielle Hunter never seemed to regret what had happened and she put the blame for the situation on Elizabeth Edwards, saying John Edwards strayed because of her.

Elizabeth Edwards had met Quinn, the child her husband fathered, and at one point during the meeting Elizabeth said, "Go stand next to daddy," and took a photo of the two of them together.

Elizabeth Edwards has been praised for her courage and strength by government officials and high profile celebrities. See more on that article here

    John Edwards should kick that home-wrecking whore to the curb.

  • Melanie 1 year ago

    Ms Hunter is scum, plain and simple. From what I read, she literally seduced Mr. Edwards. It is obvious that she manipulated the situation and didn't use birth control - a great way to trap a man. What a pig, both of them.
    Now who wouldn't agree with the truth.

    yes how dare he treat Elizabeth like that

  • helookedsad 1 year ago

    Well he looked sad enough at the funeral but who's to say he is not secretly happy that now he is free and can do just what he likes, including marrying Rielle

  • Jacson 1 year ago

    I agree with the above. I think the key is how long it will take him to marry Ms. Hunter. It must have broken Elizabeth's heart that he did that. And clearly Ms. Hunter knew what she was doing to get pregnant.

  • Could have been better 1 year ago

    I'm sorry that his wife never found somebody better than JE

  • Delusional Rielle 1 year ago

    Rielle Hunter is delusional and/or shameless.

    Rielle reportedly believed she started a "friendship" with Oprah (after appearing on Oprah's show)...and promoted a Rielle Hunter "self-help" Talk Show for Oprah's new OWN network.

    This is the same Rielle who blamed the cancer-stricken Elizabeth -- not "Johnny" or her own self -- for his infidelity.

    And the same RH, a professional videographer (and pornographer apparently), who blamed GQ for the embarrasing sexy photos of her -- that she agreed to do.

    And the same RH who alleges she "forgot" her Johnny sex video in the bedroom of the house where she had once stayed.

    Rielle Hunter seems to INVITE all the public scorn vs. her.

    I don't think there will ever be a relationship between Rielle and John after everything has happened. I think the mistress should be ashamed and so should he. People like that make me sick. My ex husband cheated on me with a women he met on Match.com. This revelation was the most devastating thing that happened to me and my family. I think all women who cheat with married men should feel the sadness that they bestow on these undeserving families. I think whore is too generous of a word to call her. Shame on you Rielle!

    Hunter wanted to visit Elizabeth! She believed Elizabeth was meant to die so she and Johnny could be together. And it's official that she is a witch and wanted to give a wiccan blessing. How sick is this thing that tries to pass for a human being?!
