Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the one-time presidential candidate whose love life stirred interest on the campaign trail, became engaged to be married on Saturday, he announced on social media.
Scott popped the question to now-fiancé Mindy Noce at South Carolina’s Kiawah Island on a sunset beach walk.
“As a guy who is mostly an introvert and on the quiet side, having to have a conversation about the engagement is a little, you know, uncomfortable in a way, but it’s the most exciting thing I’ll do with my life besides making Jesus my Lord,” Scott told The Washington Post.
“I’ve been very patient and prayerful, and I’m really excited and somewhat nervous, and I couldn’t be more thankful for having found a soul mate and someone who shares a lot of the same interests, passions and goals that I do,” he said.
The couple began dating about a year ago after meeting via church, Scott said, where they bonded over bible study.

Noce, a Charleston-area interior designer and mother of three who was previously married, was spotted Sunday at a church in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., wearing an engagement ring, Scott said.
