Jonathan Scott has taken on the role of a handyman for Zooey Deschanel’s family.
At the Environmental Media Association Awards on Saturday, Deschanel, 41, told PEOPLE that Scott, 43, was “the kindest guy I know,” praising the countless gestures he’s made over their relationship.
“It’s hard to select because he does so many nice things for me,” the New Girl star revealed of her boyfriend of over two years. “But he’s really nice to my parents, and whenever they need something fixed, he simply goes over and repairs it for them, so he’s taking care of them.”
The Property Brothers star responded by saying that being an on-call family repairman isn’t an issue for him because Deschanel has done so much for him. He even mentioned how she made his father cry by performing his favorite song, a lovely gesture that assured him that she “belonged” in his family.
Scott added, “I think the simple things go a long way.” “Having been in previous relationships, I discovered that this was the first time I saw that all of the love, effort and things I was doing were being reciprocated, and I was like, ‘What?’ So I’m going to keep this one.”
“I’ll keep him,” Deschanel added.
Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott, host of “Property Brothers,” have been upfront about their relationship since they met over two years ago.
Zooey Deschanel Dating Jonathan Scott
Is this a good match? Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott met at the perfect time in their life, and their rapid romance surprised fans.
In September 2019, the Property Brothers star and New Girl alum met for the first time while filming Carpool Karaoke and hit it off right away. Deschanel’s breakup from her four-year-husband, Jacob Pechenik, was verified by Us Weekly immediately after the news of the odd romance broke. Elsie Otter and Charlie Wolf are the couple’s children.
One day before their relationship became public, Scott told Us, “I am seeing someone.” “Because I’m a pretty private person, I don’t usually discuss it.” It’s unique for me because I’m the guy who sets the standard for what I want in a partner. I was thrown into a loop. It was an unexpected delight.”
After a fright-filled double date with Drew Scott and his wife, Linda Phan, Scott and the 500 Days of Summer actress made their relationship Instagram official in October 2019. After bravely facing Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, Jonathan and his new flame shared a PDA photo.
Here’s how their relationship has progressed so far:
Deschanel and Scott met while recording an episode of ‘Carpool Karaoke’ in August 2019.
The Deschanel sisters were matched against the “Property Brothers” twins in an edition of James Corden‘s singing talk show.
Following that, Scott shared an Instagram snapshot of the group with the message, “Today I met some new people. We had a good time. #carpoolkaraoke I guess I’ll keep them.”
At the time, the “New Girl” actress was still married to Jacob Pechenik, despite the fact that the couple had been separated since January.
“I thought I was being classy. I didn’t think much of it at the time “Scott remarked. “The producer claimed I was flirting so much that they had to edit a lot of it out since I was flirting so badly.”
Deschanel and Pechenik confirmed their breakup on September 6, 2019.
Deschanel and Pechenik announced their separation after four years of marriage and two children together.
“We have decided that we are better off as friends, business partners, and co-parents than life partners,” they declared in a statement published by People in September 2019.
After being seen holding hands with Deschanel in September 2019, Scott said that he was dating someone.
After the two were seen holding hands in September 2019, some outlets speculated that Deschanel and Scott were dating, and Scott told Us Weekly he was seeing someone not long after.
“It’s really significant for me,” Scott explained, “because I’m the person who sets the bar in terms of what I’m looking for in a relationship.” “I was taken aback by the situation. It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least.”
Deschanel and his brother, Drew told the publication, are “both fantastic people.”
Drew told Us Weekly in September 2019 about the couple, “… I think it’s amazing.” “It also means I’ll be able to bring Jon out to LA to spend more time with us.”
