Maria Belen Chapur and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford Spent Last Weekend Together

The woman who ended Mark Sanford's political career was seen with him last weekend in Florida and Sanford acknowledged it on Wednesday.

People who saw Maria Belen Chapur and Mark Sanford together in Florida sent a tip to Gawker that the duo were indeed together again, and on May 12 Sanford faced the rumors and admitted they were true.

“As a matter of record, everybody in this room knows exactly who I was with over the weekend,” Sanford said, referring to the rendezvous.

“That is no mystery to anybody given what I said last summer,” he said. “And, you know, the purpose was obviously to see if something could be restarted on that front, given the rather enormous geographic gulf between us. And time will tell. I don't know if it will or won't.”

Maria Belen Chapur and Mark Sanford are indeed back together and now he wants the media and reporters to back off.

“This obsession with one's personal life at some point has got to end,” he said.

It was revealed last year that Mark Sanford and Maria Belen Chapur had been having an affair and this revelation led to the divorce between Gov. Sanford and his wife Jenny.
