(AP) – Elizabeth Edwards says "the whole family is relieved" now that her husband has finally admitted fathering an out-of-wedlock child. Amid reports that she and John Edwards have separated, she declined to discuss the couple's marital status. "If somebody has a crystal ball, they can let me know," she said when asked what was next for her and her husband.
