John Edwards is finally expected to admit being the father of his mistress Rielle Hunter’s 18-month old baby, Frances Quinn, after a secret paternity test was performed because of financial reasons.

A source tells, “She [Rielle] was worried about getting long-term financial support for her daughter. So she hired an attorney, and John consented to undergo a secret swab test to establish paternity.”

Edwards is currently under investigation for allegedly taking money of his political action committee to pay for Andrew Young’s silence. When the scandal broke, Edwards wanted to take a paternity test that was declined by Rielle and Andrew, who assumed the paternity of the child, just disappeared.

Andrew possibly has several tapes of Edwards and Rielle’s intimate encounters (yes, sex tapes!). Elizabeth Edwards is still standing by her lying cheating husband while his finances are being scrutinized. The couple has three children together.
