As South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford prepares to take wife Jenny Sanford on a trip to an undisclosed place to make amends for having an affair, the first current photos of his Argentine mistress, Maria Belen Chapur, have finally surfaced!

A woman’s gotta eat. Maria Belen Chapur had been trying to lay low and ride this thing out, but she was spotted buying groceries in her Buenos Aires neighborhood:

Maria Belen Chapur. She sleeps with Mark Sanford. And buys food!

Chapur is believed to be either 41 or 43, and was referred to by Sanford as his “soul mate” in some seriously cheesy emails. She looks nice enough.

The embattled politician was reprimanded by the South Carolina Legislature, but did not resign and saved his job. Can he save his marriage, though?

Should Jenny Sanford forgive Mark Sanford?
