Mark Sanford’s hike down the Appalachian Trail may have taken place a decade ago (in scandal years), but we have never forgotten his clumsy, romantic exit from his marriage (and the governorship of South Carolina) over his affair with Argentinean TV reporter Maria Belen Chapur. So, we were glad to get an update on the couple in the form of an engagement announcement: “Yes, we are engaged, and I’m both happy and excited for what that means,” Sanford told CNN today. “I have long expressed my feelings for her, she’s a wonderful person. My closest friends have met and love her, and I look forward to introducing her to still many more that have yet to do so.” Good luck, you crazy nuts.
