John Edwards has reportedly split from Elizabeth Edwards and admitted to fathering Rielle Hunter's baby.

John Edwards has reportedly split from Elizabeth Edwards and admitted to fathering Rielle Hunter's baby.

A flunky for philandering former Sen. John Edwards says the failed presidential candidate ordered him to arrange a fake paternity test.

Andrew Young's claim came as Edwards, who has repeatedly denied fathering a daughter with his mistress, finally admitted he lied.

Edwards' lie was exposed as NBC News reported that he and his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, had separated.

"I am Quinn's father," Edwards declared Thursday, confirming he is the father of Frances Quinn Hunter, his nearly 2-year-old daughter with Rielle Hunter.

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

Edwards also apologized for lying.

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

Edward's admission came a week before ABC News' "20/20" was to air an exclusive interview with Young, who at one point in the scandal tried to take the fall for his boss by claiming he was Quinn's daddy. He later admitted that too was a lie.

Young told ABC News' Bob Woodruff that Edwards was desperate to distance himself from Quinn.

"Get a doctor to fake the DNA results," Young said Edwards told him.
"And he asked me ... to steal a diaper from the baby so he could secretly do a DNA test to find out if this indeed his child."

1. DNA tests don't work that way.
And I don't think even John Edwards is stupid enough to think that they do.

My conclusion? Story's tabloid bumpkis.

glad he wasn't President, even though he was my third choice in the primaries, before even Clinton and Obama.
