Perennial Bachelor Sen. Tim Scott, 58, Gets Engaged To Girlfriend Mindy Noce

Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) has gotten engaged to his girlfriend.

Scott, 58, proposed to his fiance, Mindy Noce, on South Carolina’s Kiawah Island. The two are set to be married this Saturday.

Noce is an interior decorator whom Scott began dating just last year. Scott is known as one of the only bachelors in the Senate. He had never had a girlfriend previously.

“Going to the beach and getting on one knee, and asking Mindy to marry me was so much more important than anything else, and I wanted to make sure that that sacred day would not be disturbed by anything political,” Scott told Trey Gowdy, host of Sunday Night in America on Fox News. 

Scott was a presidential candidate in the 2024 race. He ended his campaign in November and endorsed Donald Trump for president. His own campaign staff was surprised to learn the news from the media.

Scott is said to be a top potential vice presidential candidate for Trump.

“We need a president who understands the American people are sick and tired of being sick and tired, we need. Donald Trump,” Scott told the crowd of his endorsement. “Our country can’t take four more years. I’m not sure we could take ten more months. The best way for us to get rid of Joe Biden as our president is to unite our party now behind Donald Trump.”
