It was a joyful Monday for fans of Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott as the couple took to Instagram to share their exciting news – they’re engaged! The announcement came alongside a heartwarming photo of the “New Girl” star proudly displaying her one-of-a-kind engagement ring. The beautiful piece featured a stunning flower pattern adorned with three colorful stones. Deschanel, 43, captioned the selfie of the happy couple with, “Forever starts now!!! 🥰♾️🥰”
The proposal took place on a family vacation in Scotland, adding a touch of romance to the moment. People magazine reports that the “Property Brothers” host, aged 45, got down on one knee, making it a special memory the couple and their children, Elsie and Charlie, will cherish forever. Deschanel shares her two children with her ex-husband, Jacob Pechenik.
Deschanel and Scott’s love story began in August 2019 when they met on the set of James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke.” The episode also featured their siblings, Drew Scott and Emily Deschanel. Their connection was evident from the start, and shortly after their initial meeting, they were seen holding hands. This was just a week after Zooey announced the end of her marriage to Pechenik, whom she had wed in 2015.
In October 2019, the couple confirmed their romantic relationship with a kiss during a taping of “Dancing with the Stars.” Since then, their bond has only grown stronger, especially during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantining together provided them with the opportunity to nurture their connection further. Amidst the chaos, Zooey and Jonathan shared glimpses of their love and even showed off their at-home haircuts on social media.
On their first anniversary, Zooey expressed her gratitude for their time together in a heartfelt Instagram post. She described Jonathan as kind, caring, hilarious, generous, creative, nerdy, handsome, and an incredible human being. Their shared experiences, from scrabble games to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, brought immense joy to her life. Despite the challenges of the outside world, she expressed her desire for countless more moments with him.
Jonathan echoed Zooey’s sentiments during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in August 2021, where he celebrated their second anniversary. He acknowledged that he is “dating up” and spoke of his commitment to continue exceeding expectations and raising the bar. Clearly, the couple’s love and admiration for one another know no bounds.
In 2020, the lovebirds made another significant commitment by purchasing their dream home, a fixer-upper worth $9.5 million. The couple invested time and effort into renovating the five-bedroom Georgian revival house, creating a space where they could build a life together.
Prior to her marriage to Jacob Pechenik, Zooey tied the knot with Ben Gibbard, the frontman of Death Cab for Cutie, in 2009. However, their union ended in separation after three years. On the other hand, Jonathan was previously married to Kelsy Ully, a flight coordinator. They had a whirlwind romance that led to a hasty marriage in 2007, but unfortunately, they divorced in 2013. Jonathan does not have any children from his previous marriage.
The engagement of Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott is a testament to the power of love and the beauty of unexpected connections. From their first encounter on a television set to their Scottish proposal, their journey has been filled with joy and growth. As they embark on this new chapter together, their fans eagerly await the next milestones in their love story.
