Once a Cheater.. } Dateline NBC star Chris Hansen 'still cheating'
By RACHEL QUIGLEY Dailymail.co.uk
Though he is better known for catching internet sex perverts, he was outed earlier this year for not being the loving and loyal husband his To Catch a Predator fans saw on TV.
And it appears Dateline star Chris Hansen has no plans on rectifying this as he is allegedly still cheating on his wife Mary with mistress Kristyn Caddell, and is even promising her a future together.
A source told the National Enquirer that the 52-year-old is planning to leave his wife for his former news reporter girlfriend - 22 years his junior.
Affair: Married NBC anchor Chris Hansen is allegedly still having an affair with former reporter Kristyn Caddell, who is more than 20 years his junior
'Exposing the scandal didn't stop Chris and Kristyn from seeing each other, it just taught them to be more careful about when they're meeting.
'After they were caught cheating, Chris encouraged her to lay low for a while to let the scandal blow over, but they vowed to resume the relationship when there weren't so many prying eyes.
'Now that Kristyn isn't in the public eye, it's a lot easier for them.'
The 30-year-old resigned from her news position this month and is said to be moving back to Tampa in the new year.
'Betrayal': Chris Hansen with his wife, Mary. The couple have two sons together. He has allegedly been cheating on her for almost a year
According to the Enquirer, she has flown to a secret location at least twice since the cheating scandal and regularly speaks to the To Catch a Predator host on the phone.
Meanwhile, the source said, his wife Mary has been standing by her husband's side.
'It's sickening because Chris has been telling Kristyn all along that he intends to leave his wife for her. He's just waiting for the right time.
'Kristyn has been very understanding about his complicated domestic life and is giving him time to sort it all out, but she's also made it clear that she wont wait around forever.'
The Enquirer reported the affair in March after the pair were recorded enjoying a romantic dinner together at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, before spending the night at her Palm Beach apartment.
Secret cameras filmed the couple as they arrived at the hotel for dinner and then drove back to her apartment - where the pair left, carrying luggage, at 8am the following day.

Liaison: Florida TV reporter Kristyn Caddell, who is 22 years his junior, left her job earlier this month
A source told the newspaper the pair met in March, when they were both out with friends at the Blue Martini Lounge in Palm Beach.
Miss Caddell, who was once an intern with NBC in New York, introduced herself to Hansen in the VIP area, and 'there was an immediate physical attraction between them', according to the source.
The source alleged: 'Chris and Kristyn got on so well that she ended up going back to his room at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach - and later boasted to pals about staying the night with him.'
After news of the alleged affair broke, it was reported that NBC bosses were planning to shelve plans to make him host of dateline after Ann Curry went to the Today show.
They thought it may be too damaging to let Hansen take over as anchor of the news magazine show.
