“I chose to be friends with him and have a relationship with him because I knew he was married and going through a divorce,” Edwards adds.
He was a loving stepfather to Cloud’s 19-year-old daughter, and the two had been together for around 16 years.
Set on a secluded 15-acre property along Butler Nursery Road, the couple’s $500,000 rustic cottage had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and they were still living together.

The couple had discussed getting a divorce and the process of allocating their assets for years, she says, and they had tried marriage counseling, but it wasn’t enough.
