Sen. Tim Scott has finally debuted his mystery girlfriend after months of speculation and growing curiosity about the Republican presidential hopeful’s love life.
The 58-year-old caused a frenzy when he brought his blonde gal pal, Mindy Noce, 47, out on stage at the third GOP primary presidential debate in Miami on Nov. 8.
The couple, who Scott says have been together for “about a year,” were spotted clutching hands at one point as they posed for photos.
The South Carolina Republican’s campaign confirmed Mindy’s name but declined to provide further details about their relationship.
Here’s what we know so far about Scott’s flame:
Noce, 47, is a mom-of three who lives in Charleston, South Carolina.
She works as an interior designer for the Charleston-based Atlantic Properties of Lowcountry real estate firm, according to her online company bio.
Noce, who is an avid runner and tennis enthusiast, is a self-described “mover-and-shaker with a creative eye and love for people.”
Noce studied at the College of Charleston where she majored in Health Science, her company bio says.
She has lived in Charleston ever since graduation but was first introduced to the area while watching her three older brothers play football at The Citadel.
The mom-of-three has lived between Isle of Palms and Daniel Island for almost 20 years.
She has previously been described by Scott as “a lovely Christian girl.”
Noce has three children but it’s unclear how old they are.
She has previously been described by Scott as “a lovely Christian girl.”
No details were immediately available about her past relationships, or who the father of her children is.
Noce’s Instagram feed is filled with photos of her interior design work, as well as group shots with colleagues.
She hasn’t posted any photos of her kids or family on her account.
Before Scott introduced Noce to the country, the senator had only teased that he was “dating a lovely Christian girl” that he’d met through a friend from church.
In an in-depth piece on Scott’s love life in September 2023, the Washington Post reported the pair had hit it off using an app to study the Bible together.
They also played pickleball together, had gone on a date to the zoo and dined out together, the outlet added.
At the time, a tight-lipped Scott kept his girlfriend’s identity secret, saying: “I can’t imagine dragging her onto the campaign trail unless I have the intention of marrying her.”
