New York: A former New Jersey Governor has admitted to three-way sexual trysts with his wife and a former aide after the latter revealed it to the media, while his wife contradicted the statements.

Jim McGreevey, who resigned in disgrace after admitting that he was gay and had relation with an employee, confirmed to his former male aide Teddy Pederson's version that they along his wife indulged in three-way sex for two years until he was elected the governor.

Before McGreevey's admission, his wife, Dina Matos McGreevey, fighting a messy divorce battle with him over finances and custody of their 6-year-old daughter, vehemently denied it.

She termed the 29-year-old former aide was her estranged husband "crony" and alleged Pederson had been set up by her husband since she was getting media attention.

However, Pedersen asserted "it is time for her to face the truth. In near identical emails to the media yesterday, McGreevey confirmed the statements made by Pedersen to two newspapers, saying this had happened in the past and "now we need to move on with our lives."

On her part, Matos McGreevey termed the statements as "completely false" and made to discredit her. She asserts McGreevey hid his sexual preference before and during the marriage and has sued him for damages.

Pedersen in his revelations to media had claimed they had what he called "Friday night specials" starting with dinner and lasting whole night from 1999 to until McGreevey was elected governor in 2001.
