Anthony Weiner Wife Pregnant: Huma Abedin Expecting (Report)

The New York Times reports that Huma Abedin, wife of embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner, is pregnant with their first child.

The 35-year-old is in the early stages of pregnancy, according to three people with knowledge of the situation, the Times reported.

Earlier today, a graphic photo of Weiner was leaked, two days after he admitted sending racy pictures to women online. The congressman has said he does not plan to resign.

The New York lawmaker signaled at a press conference on Monday that he has no intention of splitting with his wife in the wake of the scandal.

"My wife has known about some of these online relationships since before we were married," he said in addressing the matter. "But she did not know until this morning that I had not been truthful about the Twitter posting last week. I'm here primarily to express my apologies to my wife and family."

ForestHills Patch reports that Weiner's constituents are offering their sympathy to Abedin following news of her pregnancy:

"I can only imagine what she must be going through! She must be devastated,” said Ellen Weiss, a Weiner constituent from Forest Hills. “You know when you get married, you think ‘here's the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with,’ then to find out and in such a public way that your husband is at the very least looking at other women, it’s terrible, believe me I know ... and now she's pregnant, it's very sad."

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier in the day:

Ms. Abedin has resolved to remain married to her husband, according to people familiar with the matter.
...
"I think people have been very deferential to her in terms of being a political spouse," said a person close to the couple. "She's not Mrs. Anthony Weiner. She's Huma Abedin. She's been known to many people for a very long time, and they've continued to respect her boundaries...This has been the first time she has encountered anything otherwise."

According to the Journal, Abedin sought advice from Secretary of State Clinton following her husband's admission.

"then to find out and in such a public way that your husband is at the very least looking at other women"

Well, he was doing more than looking, but as for looking... surprise women... guys do look at other women. It doesn't mean they all would go further, even given the opportunity.

Why must men look at other women, and make their significant others feel worthless?

If you have to ask I'm sure you wouldn't understand. Maybe his wife, his parents, his unborn child, or his co workers could explain it to you.

Hillary will support her lover no matter what happens to that "small"Weiner of a man!It's funny that the gay community has known about Hillary and Huma's affair but decided not to make it public until now.Don't believe me,go research for yourself.It's all there in Out mag and other rags.

What truly amazes me when these sex scandals come to light is how the women who are married to these losers always stick by their men. Hillary Clinton once made light of the song Stand by You Man. She inferred that these women who stick by these cheaters were doing a disservice to their families and themselves.

When Bill was found out Hillary changed her tune. She explained Bill had a sickness and could not help his philandering. He was a sex addict. She stood by her man. One after another, press conference after press conference, you have these supposedly intelligent woman standing by these men as they apologize for embarrassing themselves and their families.

These woman may change their tune after the press conference, but for most of them they just sit and take the abuse. I for one would love to see one of these woman slap their husbands across the face at the press conference and walk off the stage. I think if one of these women did that they would be cheered by a lot of people.

I know I would be one of the ones cheering.

If Hillary would have slapped Bill across the face on national tv, I would have voted for her.

I am quite sure if any one of these woman whould have slapped their cheating husbands on national television they would have been cheered as heros and could have been elected to office. They would have hit the talk show circut. Oprah would have welcomed the wife on her show with open arms. I am sure many woman and men both feel enough is enough with these cheating politicians and that some wife would take some kind of action other than standing tearfully behind their husbands when they are on national television.

Gee I'm sure she does. And her friends and family.
Haven't you ever had any of either?

[DonCosenza]

On the other hand, her friends and family probably didn't learn it from Huffington Post.

Whether the Weiner's split or not is up to them. It is not our business, and we should stay firmly out of it.

Either this guy is the dumbest guy on the face of this earth or he is up to something.
Perhaps he wants to copy Puten. He didn't hide his identity on the contrary he wanted people to know it was him who sent those pics

I don't believe it. I think this is a way so the left can feel sorry for her and him, I would take a bet that a child isn't born 9 months from now. Any takers? It amazes me how ALL politicians work the system. Are there any honest people in American Politics? I guess God only knows, but again I would take a bet on that.

Everyone seems to be skipping over his statement, "My wife has known about some of these online relationships since before we were married." What does that mean? Did she know they were still going on? I'd really like to know what that sentence means and if it is true before I lament to how poor Huma must feel. Embarrased I am sure!! But did she really know about it? Did she not care? Is it all a load of bologna? Why is no one wondering about this?

[DonCosenza]

02:26 AM on 06/14/2011

If I had to guess, it means she found out about them before they got married, he promised to cut it out, and he failed to uphold that promise.
