South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's mistress is a 43-year-old employee of an international agriculture company who speaks several languages and lives in an upscale apartment building in Buenos Aires, Argentina, local media there are reporting.
Though details are sparse, Terra Noticias reported Thursday that the woman's name is Maria Belen Shapur and she works for the international agribusiness firm Bunge y Born.
The newspaper, along with Buenos Aires Continental Radio, reported that she lives next to the Buenos Aires Zoo in a 14-story building. A witness described her as a beautiful brunette with big eyes who plays tennis on a nearby lawn and runs every morning in her neighborhood.
The witness told the radio station that Sanford arrived at the complex, alone, with a small sports bag last week and asked to go inside the building.
Sanford admitted Wednesday to having an affair over the last year and covering up a secret trip to visit his mistress last week. The admission rocked the South Carolina political scene and has also captured the attention of the Buenos Aires media, as the governor provided few details about his lover.
Terra Noticias reported that Belen speaks English, Portuguese and Chinese, and that the company she supposedly works for is massive, with 25,000 employees in more than 30 countries, including 1,000 in Argentina, according to a profile on the Bunge Limited Web site.

stories like this just write themselves..
Good thing we found this out before he got too far along and spoiled things for Republicans real late in the game...
Nice tan lines too, apparently.
It’s the babes fault I guarantee......
The Idiot should just got a divorce and then could have had his political life also.
Now that she’s known we should see some pictures by the end of the day.
This story would make a great Masterpiece Theatre production.
That makes sense—he probably met her originally on some sort of business junket (since SC has a lot of agriculture and she works in agribusiness).

I’m guesing she’s not like his wife or has 4 kids...
Where are the pics?????
Shapur is a Persian name (Several Sassanian Kings were named Shapur... it’s a male given name and also a family name).
“speaks several languages”
She’s a cunning linguist.
