On March 15, 2010, Hunter broke her silence during an interview with "GQ" magazine and provided new details about the affair.

Reports surfaced in late 2011 in "The National Enquirer" and "RadarOnline.com" that Edwards asked his former mistress to move into his North Carolina home, where he had once lived with his wife.
