Rielle loyally blonde

Beaming baby mama Rielle Hunter — seen here holding Frances Quinn, her love child with John Edwards, yesterday — remains hush-hush about her future with the philandering former presidential candidate.

As more details emerged on the $900,000 in campaign cash Edwards allegedly misused to cover up their affair, the 47-year-old Hunter was tight-lipped about reports she plans to resume the romance and eventually marry the indicted Edwards.

“Don’t believe everything you read,” she laughed, as she posed with Frances, 2, near her Charlotte, NC, home.

Hunter and Edwards, 57, “raise their daughter together and see each other quite often,” her spokeswoman told The Post.

Yesterday, Hunter said she’s going to resume the photography career she enjoyed in 2007, when Edwards — then married to his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth — paid her $200,000 to produce Web videos about his campaign.

“It’s difficult to be on this side of the camera. I don’t like the spotlight,” Hunter said.
