Rumors have been circulating for several days through Charlotte’s Eastover neighborhood that former U.S. Sen. John Edwards bought a home here for his admitted former mistress, Rielle Hunter. And now the National Enquirer is reporting in its Dec. 21 issue that Edwards has, in fact, bought a house here that the Charlotte Business Journal has identified as a residence on Providence Road.
Edwards, the vice presidential nominee on the 2004 Democratic ticket and a presidential candidate last year, saw his political career derail after details of the affair emerged. In late 2007, the Enquirer first reported claims from an anonymous source that Edwards had an affair with a campaign worker, later revealed to be Hunter, a filmmaker hired to produce YouTube videos for Edwards’ 2008 presidential campaign.
Hunter gave birth to a daughter in February 2008. At the time, Edwards campaign aide Andrew Young said he was the father. Young later retracted that claim.
According to the latest Enquirer article, Edwards backed out of an arrangement to lease the Charlotte home to Hunter after she asked him for nearly $18,000 per month in child support. Hunter and her child were to have moved into the house on Dec. 1, the article states.
Late last week, the home appeared vacant.
Lynn Salton of HM Properties, the agent that handled the sale, told the Charlotte Business Journal last week that she did not know the identity of the buyer of the two-story, brick single-family home. “I did not meet the people who bought the house,” Salton says.
The house sold for $535,000 — $60,000 below the original listing price of $595,000. The 2,850-square-foot home, built in 1951, features four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and an attached two-car garage.

Ouch! I hope not! The kid is almost two years old, no doubt has a mouthful of teeth by now.
John was smart—he had only one mistress. Tiger has a dozen or more. Edwards should divorce his wife and marry his honey and raise his daughter. He’s still a scum bag but I would have more respect for him.
n Uglier than Ugly Woman for an Uglier than Ugly and a Sleezier than Sleezie Boy-Child who was an excellent Legal Con-Artist!
“Ouch! I hope not! The kid is almost two years old, no doubt has a mouthful of teeth by now.”
That old already? Well there is always bath time. lol
I think Youmay want to go back to school for some arithematic courses!! The Boy-Child Lives in a Twenty eight THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT HOUSE with his wife! He bought a house Ten Times smaller for his Mistress and Love Child! That one is only 2.8 THousand Square Feet.....:-)
John is a lot older, and a little wiser than Tiger.
I hate to say it, but anyone can accidentally fall for someone even when they don't want to. It's what they do about it, that makes the difference between being a human being with some integrity or just being a scumbag.
If you fall for someone and you can't get past it, divorce your mate and take the heat. Don't hang around feeling sorry for yourself (a la Mark Sanford) humiliating your wife and forcing her to dump you.
But with Tiger it isn't just "another woman" that is the problem, it is "a lifestyle" -- a lifestyle that is unfortunately catching up with Tiger and one which has discovered that his public and his sponsors don't approve of. Was he really naive enough to think that they would? Or was he so arrogant that he was sure he could keep it under wraps?
If you want to live like a single man, then be a single man. Don't play pretend "marriage" with someone who is in it for real, while you nail everything that moves. That's disrespectful to your wife, your children, yourself and your fans.
Well said!
He's waiting for his wife to die.
On top of that it’s also the cheap side of Myers Park.
I wonder if the Dave Matthews band will be booked for their housewarming party.
He’s in the “Lawyer’s Club” It will never happen, unfortunately.
Anybody know what his handicap is?
I thought she was married to Prince Charles? ;')
