NEW YORK, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has taken a job as a paid contributor on Fox News, the network has confirmed.

Sanford is expected to figure heavily in the debate Fox News is televising in January in South Carolina but will appear before then and will stay on beyond the general election, The New York Times reported.

The former governor was once considered to be a Republican presidential contender until a 2009 cheating scandal. Sanford admitted to having an affair with a woman he met in Argentina, where he went on vacation without telling his staff. He is now divorced from his wife Jenny and in an August interview with The New York Times said he's still with Argentinian Maria Belen Chapur.

"I would say that I have more than well described all of my emotions and feelings toward Maria. And out of fairness to my boys and to folks that I've hurt, I'm not going to say more than this: any of those seemingly goofy feelings that I described a couple years back have intensified, not dissipated with time."
