Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina shocked the nation this weekend when he announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Mindy Noce. The 58-year-old politician proposed to Noce on Saturday evening in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, in what he described as a “sacred day” for him.
In an exclusive interview with former congressman Trey Gowdy on his show Sunday Night in America, Scott gushed about the significance of this momentous decision in his life. “Becoming a Christian was the first most important decision in my life, and getting engaged to Mindy is a close second,” he said.
The couple reportedly met at church about a year ago and bonded over their shared love for Bible study. It’s no surprise that their faith played such a significant role in their relationship, as both Scott and Noce are devout Christians.

Scott’s engagement came shortly after he endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election. Scott, who himself ran for the White House in 2024, is the third former Republican presidential candidate in the past week to throw their support behind Trump.
During the November 2024 presidential debate, Scott introduced Noce, showcasing their strong bond and shared values. But it was their recent trip to the beach in Kiawah Island that solidified their commitment to each other.
The news of Scott’s engagement not only made waves in the political world but also revealed the senator’s more personal side. Known for his principled stance on issues relating to faith and family, Scott is proving to be a role model for young conservatives everywhere.

Speaking of conservative values, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also made headlines this weekend when he dropped his bid for the White House and endorsed Trump for president. Scott, who has been vocal about his support for the former president, praised DeSantis’ decision and urged the Republican party to unite behind Trump.
In his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Sunday, Scott said, “it’s time for us to unite our party so that the only target we’re talking about is firing Joe Biden.” The crowd responded with chants of “Donald Trump,” showing their unwavering support for the former president.
With the 2022 midterms fast approaching and the 2024 presidential election on the horizon, Scott’s endorsement of Trump is a strategic move. The senator believes that the best way to oust Biden from the White House is for the Republican party to unite and rally behind Trump.
