The Enquirer is reporting that Rielle Hunter, a woman who was linked to Democratic hopeful John Edwards in a cheating scandal earlier this year, is six months preggers with his love child.

Edwards has denied an affair with Hunter and now a political operative close to Edwards' campaign is claiming to be the father. But this guy is also married with children of his own. Is he protecting Edwards? Was she sleeping with them both? Enquiring minds want to know!

Now, we know this is the Enquirer we're talking about here, but they've scooped scandals and been right in the past, so we're keeping an open mind.
