John Edwards Engaged is not engaged to Rielle Hunter, the woman with whom he fathered a daughter while he was still married to Elizabeth Edwards, who died in December, People magazine says.

John Edwards Engaged, a 57-year-old former presidential candidate, and Hunter, 46, have not commented on the reports.

The couple separated in January after John Edwards admitted he had fathered a child with Hunter, while he was running his presidential campaign in 2008.

Elizabeth Edwards penned a book called "Resilience" and included a chapter about her husband's affair in the paperback version.

The National Enquirer reports that disgraced presidential candidate John Edwards Engaged may be officially engaged to former mistress Rielle Hunter, just weeks after the death of his estranged wife Elizabeth Edwards.

The Enquirer report bashes Edwards for callously disregarding his heartbroken wife’s dying wishes. The tabloid also severely criticizes Hunter, alleging that she directed his children to “call me Mommy.” The tabloid alleges that Edwards pledged his love to Hunter and promised that they would “become one big, happy family.”

The news reports of the alleged engagement have been making the rounds throughout the day, all citing the Enquirer’s exclusive report. The Enquirer did break the news of his affair and accurately reported that he is the father of Hunter’s child. John Edwards is not engaged to Rielle Hunter, a family spokeswoman says, in the wake of a National Enquirer story this week alleging the former senator had asked his former campaign aide to marry him.

John Edwards Engaged, of course, initially denied that daughter Frances, now 2, was his child.

Elizabeth Edwards died Dec. 7 after battling breast cancer for years. Hunter was an aide during the campaign.
