Spoiler: His GF is Ben Shapiro's Canadian doctor wife who is also from Canada.
This is the guy who claimed to be a virgin until very recently:
“At the end of the day, the Bible is very clear: abstinence until marriage. Not to do so is a sin,” Scott told the National Journal in 2012.
The politician’s public claims of virginity date to the early and mid-’90s, when he was running for city council in Charleston, South Carolina. Often described in more recent coverage as a “proud” 30-year-old virgin, Scott earned the support of the National Abstinence Education Association and later went on to co-sponsor the Abstinence Education Reallocation Act, which would have funded abstinence education and called for teaching the “skills needed to resist the negative influences of the pervasive sex-saturated culture.” (The bill went nowhere.)
But Scott can no longer claim to be a virgin, it seems. After he was appointed to the Senate in 2012, the National Journal asked him if he was sticking to his pledge of abstinence.
“Not as well as I did then,” Scott said. He was 46 at the time.

Edit - upon archiving the WaPo article in this post, I learned that the author of this piece is also the author of the National Journal article. So this reporter has been covering the Tim Scott virginity beat for more than a decade.
"Mr. Senator, polling shows voters are 'very uneasy' with the idea of voting for a 57 year old virgin who is not in a relationship."
"I can fix that because I have a girlfriend."
"You do? Why didn't you say anything? And why doesn't anybody know?"
"She's Canadian."
Smh, he should have leaned into it and angled for the incel vote
