'No relationship can stand forever this tension of being forced to pick between the one you love and your own son or daughter, and for this reason Belen and I have decided to call off the engagement,' he said of Maria Belen Chapur, whom he proposed to in 2012.


Sanford's surprise announcement comes after his ex-wife, Jenny Sanford, whom is split from in 2010, filed a legal complaint barring their 16-year-old son from interacting with Chapur.

It additionally suggested that the teen had been exposed to excessive drug and alcohol use.


'Maybe there will be another chapter when waters calm with Jenny, but at this point the environment is not conducive to building anything given no one would want to be caught in the middle of what's now happening,' he stated.
