“I know he loves me. I have never had any doubt at all about that. We love each other very much. And that hasn’t changed, and I believe that will be till death do us part. The love doesn’t go away. It’s unconditional.”

The London Free Press notes that neither Edwards or Hunter testified at the trial, which lasted six weeks, although the jury was privy to other witnesses, including former campaign staff, who gave tawdry details into the couple’s affair and Edwards’ attempts to conceal it from his wife, Elizabeth, who was drying from breast cancer.

Elizabeth, who stood with John Edwards at a press conference where he admitted his affair, died of cancer in 2010.

The new book, which hits stands on June 26th, tells of how Edwards and Rielle met, and also details of how he fathered their four-year-old child Quinn, who was conceived when the ex-senator was still married.
