Elizabeth Edwards Says She Was Willing to be Step-Mother to John’s Love Child

Elizabeth Edwards told Larry King on Wednesday night that she was willing, at one point, to be the step-mother of John Edwards and Rielle Hunter's child.

Elizabeth, who refrained from mentioning the name of her estranged husband's ex-mistress, said that while she's never spoken with Rielle, she has met Rielle and John's little girl, Quinn.

"When John and I were together, and he was wanting to be a father -- which I admired, that he should; when he found out that in fact this was his child and he wanted to be a father, and if that were the case and we were together, I would be this child's step mother," Elizabeth told Larry.
