Families of all kinds exist. These days ‘blended’ families are quite a norm and things look different for every family. Actress Zooey Deschanel shares her blended family with Property Brother Jonathan Scott.
While the two seem to keep their private life mostly under wraps, Jonathan Scott just opened up about their lives together. Keep reading to learn more…
Jonathan Scott is one half of the famed Property Brothers duo. The media personality made headlines in 2019 when he began dating actress Zooey Deschanel. While the couple did not keep their relationship a secret, they rarely divulge any details about their lives together.
But in a recent interview, Scott opened up about what it has been like being with Deschanel in the last few years. And he credits his experience with his brother Drew as what has helped him navigate a blended family situation.
“It honestly just stems from what Drew and I created. We have a ‘no BS’ policy. If there’s ever anything that’s troubling us, we get it out before it turns into something bigger than it needs,” Jonathan said in the interview. “Zooey also has the greatest conflict resolution skills of anyone I’ve ever known. She’s incredible. Our communication keeps everything together.”
Zooey has two children, a 6-year-old son Charlie and a 7-year-old daughter Elsie from her previous marriage to Jacob Pechenik. And Jonathan has nothing but praise for both her children and their father.
“The kids’ dad is a great dad. We have an amazing relationship there as well,” the 45-year-old home renovator says of Jacob. “I love it when the kids draw photos. They draw Mommy and Daddy and Jonathan. It’s really sweet,” the media personality said.
The two of them first met when they were filming an episode of Apple TV+’s Carpool Karaoke. After that, they had other professional engagements together. In 2020, Deschanel renovated the home of her childhood best friend for an episode of Celebrity IOU, and helping her were the Property Brothers. Now the actress is preparing for the premiere of her upcoming show What Am I Eating?, which will air right after the latest season of Celebrity IOU.
The Property Brother could not help but gush about his girlfriend saying, “Everything she does she just knocks it out of the park. We were laughing because she did Celebrity IOU and she on the record says she hated the demolition. It was loud and noisy and dirty, and she did it because she loved her recipient [best friend]. It’s the same when she’s onstage singing with She & Him, when she’s doing a film or a TV show. Everything she does she pours her heart into it — but mostly being a mom. She’s just the most incredible mom anybody could ever ask for.”
Celebrity IOU is a show where Hollywood celebrities surprise people in their lives who have loved and supported them over the years with a complete home renovation. The show is a way to thank the people who have stood by these celebrities.
“There’s nothing that compares to when you see how this is going to change the lives for these families and also with all the celebrities,” Drew says of the series which is going to feature Taraji P. Henson, Jay Leno, Heidi Klum, and Glenn Close in its latest season. “They’re not just handing over money and saying, ‘Make this pretty.’ They’re in there with their own hands, doing things they’ve never done or that they’re not comfortable with. They’re still doing it.”
