Who is Mindy Noce? Meet Tim Scott's 47-year-old mother-of-three girlfriend unveiled at GOP debate after months of speculation about the conservative Christian presidential hopeful's love life

Sen. Tim Scott debuted his relationship with his new girlfriend at the Republican presidential debate, finally putting a name and face to his mysterious partner.

Mindy Noce, a 47-year-old mother-of-three and design and renovations manager in Charleston, South Carolina, joined Scott on stage after the debate.

The presidential candidate's campaign confirmed to DailyMail.com that the pair are romantically involved after they shared the touching moment.

Noce has lived in South Carolina since she graduated from the College of Charleston, where she majored in Health Science.

She works as an interior designer for Atlantic Properties of Lowcountry real estate firm.

According to the firms website, Noce was introduced to the area when her three older brothers played football at The Citadel.

She has resided at Isle of Palms and Daniel Island for almost eighteen years, and is as self described, 'mover-and-shaker with a creative eye and love for people.'

Her Instagram account is filled with photos of her interior design work and group shots with her colleagues.

Asked at the post-debate spin room about his girlfriend, Sen. Scott nonchalantly replied: 'She's great.' He told reporters the pair have been dating for 'several months.' 

In September, Scott told a crowd in Iowa, 'I'm dating a lovely Christian girl,' though her identity remained a secret.

After Wednesday night's debate, Noce joined the senator on stage to take photos and was seen holding his hand. 

The Washington Post did an in-depth piece on the senator's love life, and Scott said a friend from church had set the pair up.

The two hit it off talking about God and using an app to do a Bible study together.

On a date at a Charleston restaurant she ordered the steak and he got the swordfish, and even though they shared dishes, the senator would later learn she doesn't like swordfish. 

The couple played pickleball, and Scott was embarrassed to find out that he was the 'weak man on the court.'

Scott's campaign manager confirmed to The Washington Post the woman was real and that they even went to the zoo together.

The presidential candidate has kept his relationship low-profile and has face scrutiny for relationship status throughout his campaign

The South Carolina senator has been defensive when his relationship status has been compared to the last single serving president, James Buchanan in 1861.

'The fact that half of America's adult population is single for the first time, to suggest that somehow being married or not married is going to be the determining factor of whether you're a good president,' Scott said at the time.

'It sounds like we're living in 1963... not 2023.'

Early in his career, Scott claimed to have been a 30-year-old virgin and ran a campaign on a pledge of abstinence.

In 2012, after 16 years in public life and winning a seat in the US House at 46-years-old and still unmarried, Scott admitted he is no longer a virgin.
