BUENOS BEAUTY LIES LOW

Here’s the sexy siren who lured South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford into a steamy, yearlong affair that imploded when the lovesick pol ditched his wife and four boys — and job — for a long, lost weekend in Argentina.

Meanwhile, the busted lothario and wife Jenny got out of town to work on their tattered marriage.

“The governor remains committed to working on his marriage,” spokesman Joel Sawyer said.
