Her daughter, Francis Quinn Hunter, was born in February 2008, a couple of weeks after Edwards suspended his campaign because of poor showings in early primary states.
Hunter told Oprah Winfrey in an August 2010 interview that the decision to have Young claim paternity was the biggest mistake in her life. She said she had banked on Young’s wife rejecting the idea.
"It was a horrid time, Oprah. Devastating. Devastating," Hunter said.
She deflected questions about whether she hurt Elizabeth Edwards, who died of cancer in December 2010. She vehemently denied she was a home-wrecker.
"I believe the problems exist before a third party comes into the picture," she told Winfrey.
Hunter now lives in Charlotte with her daughter, now 4. She has spoken little about her relationship with Edwards since his wife’s death.
Before the trial, Hunter vowed through a spokeswoman to tell the truth if called to testify. In her interview with Winfrey, Hunter spoke about the unusual turns her life had taken.
"Being a person who’s committed to truth and living a life where you’re not hiding, it’s almost like a cosmic joke to fall in love with someone who’s living a big lie," she said.
