An ideal match? Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel’s rapid romance caught their admirers off guard, yet it came at the perfect time in both of their lives. In September of 2019, while filming for Carpool Karaoke, the Property Brothers star and the New Girl alum met for the first time and hit it off nearly immediately. Shortly after Deschanel filed for divorce from her marriage of four years, Jacob Pechenik, Us Weekly confirmed the tale of the improbable romance. Ex-spouses Elsie Otter and Charlie Wolf have a child together.
Scott told Us a day before their relationship was made public, “I am seeing someone.” I’m an extremely reserved individual, therefore I don’t usually broach topics like that. It’s more meaningful to me because I’m the one raising the standard for what I want in a life mate. To be honest, I was taken aback by it. That came as a very pleasant surprise.
In October of 2019, following a terrifying double date with Drew Scott and his wife Linda Phan, Scott and the 500 Days of Summer actress made their relationship Instagram official. After braving Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, Jonathan and his new flame shared a PDA photo. When the two initially met, a source told Us that they had “immediate chemistry” and that they bonded over their mutual appreciation for “music, \
film, theatre — and Christmas carols.” They hit it off right away because they shared similar interests and a good sense of humour, and their “texting and talking on the phone and it developed from there.” Their love has only grown stronger since then, and they have celebrated several significant relationship milestones together. The pair who originally made their red carpet debut on HGTV and She & Him spent their first Thanksgiving together shortly after. They celebrated “a genuinely wonderful New Year” together a month later. Jonathan captioned a cute selfie for 2020 with the words, “Once in a lifetime you find someone who changes everything.” Read on to learn more about this fast-paced romance.
