Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, spoke candidly about her life, health and the state of her marriage in a TV interview to air on
The Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday, according to
People.com.
Edwards, whose new memoir entitled "Resilience" will be published next week, told Winfrey that her marriage is a "day-by-day thing" since learning of her husband's extra-marital affair in 2006.
There has been speculation about whether John Edwards fathered a child with the other woman, Rielle Hunter, but Elizabeth says she has no idea if that is true. "I've seen a picture of the baby...It doesn't look like my children, but I don't have any idea," she says.
When asked whether she is still in love with her husband, Edwards replied, "you know, that's a complicated question."
Twitterers don't think the issue is complicated at all:
