Disgraced former South Carolina Governor, Mark Sanford, is engaged to the Argentinian mistress who cost him his marriage and his high-profile political career, RadarOnline.com is reporting.
As previously reported, once considered a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Sanford's political career was derailed by a sex scandal in June 2009 when he went AWOL for six days.

While his camp said he was on a hike of the Appalachian Trail, the then-married politician, a father of four, later admitted to visiting Argentina to see his mistress, Maria Belen Chapur -- a woman he once referred to as his "soul mate."
Sanford, 52, proposed to Chapur with a proposal last week in Buenos Aires. He confirmed the news to CNN.
