On July 27, 2023, speaking at the South Carolina Prayer Breakfast, Mace said:

"Patrick, my fiancé, tried to pull me by my waist over this morning in bed. And I was like, 'No, baby, we don't got time for that this morning. I gotta get to the prayer breakfast, and I gotta be on time.' He can wait, I'll see him later tonight."

The remark drew coverage from Fox News and other outlets, which noted it as an unusual disclosure for a prayer breakfast setting.
