Johnathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel Are officially Enagaged!

Actress Zooey Deschanel, known for her role in the television series New Girl, is set to tie the knot once again, this time with her boyfriend Jonathan Scott. The 43-year-old actress and the 45-year-old Property Brothers star made their engagement announcement via Instagram on August 14th. Accompanied by a heartwarming caption that read, “Forever starts now!!!” the couple shared their joy with the world.

The proposal itself was a truly picturesque moment, taking place during a family excursion to the captivating landscapes of Scotland, as reported by People magazine. This romantic gesture amidst the Scottish beauty marked the beginning of their journey towards forever.

Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott’s love story took its first steps into the spotlight back in September 2019. Their relationship’s public debut came shortly after their initial meeting, which occurred during the filming of a Carpool Karaoke segment for The Late Late Show With James Corden. This memorable encounter featured not only the couple but also Jonathan’s twin brother and co-star, Drew Scott, and Zooey’s sister, the Bones star Emily Deschanel.

Recalling their first interaction, Jonathan humorously admitted, “I thought I was playing it cool, I didn’t think anything of it.” He shared this amusing anecdote during an interview on the podcast “At Home With Linda and Drew Scott,” hosted by his brother and sister-in-law. Jonathan went on to describe how his flirting was so apparent that the producers had to edit out a significant portion of it.

Sitting beside Jonathan, Zooey chimed in, confirming his gentlemanly demeanor during their initial meeting. Their chemistry was undeniable, and this connection deepened over time. Just a few months later, in December 2019, the couple made their grand red carpet debut as a couple. This momentous occasion occurred at the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards in New York.

In essence, the accomplished actress and the charismatic real estate expert are embarking on a new chapter of their lives together. Their engagement marks a significant milestone in their relationship, solidifying their bond in the midst of love, shared experiences, and mutual respect.

A month later, on NBC’s Today show, Jonathan enthusiastically expressed how his girlfriend Zooey has transformed his life. He highlighted the positive impact she has had, mentioning that people have remarked on how he seems more vibrant and alive. He playfully questioned whether he was dull before meeting her and acknowledged that she brings out his best qualities, motivating him to strive for his highest potential.

Months later, Zooey and Jonathan stirred up engagement speculation, but Jonathan promptly dispelled the rumors. He humorously assured listeners on SiriusXM’s The Covino & Rich Show that he would propose to his girlfriend before sharing the news with a reporter.

In January 2021, amidst pandemic-related social restrictions, Jonathan took to Instagram to celebrate Zooey’s 41st birthday. He expressed his admiration with a heartfelt post, describing her as caring, talented, hilarious, and beautiful inside and out. He acknowledged the challenges of the times but promised surprises to mark the occasion, expressing how Zooey brings immense joy to his life.

Jonathan’s upcoming marriage to Zooey will mark his second journey down the aisle, having previously been married to Kelsy Ully. On the other hand, this will be Zooey’s third marriage. The context of their previous unions adds depth to their current relationship.

In September 2019, just before Zooey and Jonathan’s public romance debut, Zooey’s separation from film producer Jacob Pechenik was announced. Their marriage of four years had come to an end. A significant aspect of this chapter is the shared bond they formed as parents to their two children, Elsie Otter and Charlie Wolf. Despite their separation, they managed to finalize their divorce in June 2020.

Prior to her marriage to Jonathan, Zooey had been married once before, to Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard. However, their union also faced its challenges, leading to an announcement of their split in 2011 after two years of marriage. This separation eventually culminated in their divorce a year later.

Considering the complexities of their past relationships, Zooey and Jonathan’s decision to embark on this new chapter of their lives together reflects their personal growth, resilience, and the promise of a shared future.
