Will Edwards Say, 'Come to Papa?'

Report: John Edwards to Admit He Fathered Mistress' Daughter

The news comes one day after the National Enquirer reported that a secret DNA test proved his paternity.

(Fox News) - Former presidential candidate John Edwards will admit he is the father of his former campaign aide's 18-month-old baby, a TV news station in North Carolina reports.

WRAL says sources told the station Edwards' public admission could come before the end of the ongoing criminal investigation into whether his campaign illegally paid the woman, campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, to keep quiet about their affair.

The news comes a day after the National Enquirer reported that a secret DNA test proved Edwards' paternity.
