The Hollywood love story between actress Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott of Property Brothers fame is taking a magical turn. After four years of heartwarming moments, the two are now engaged!
The 43-year-old New Girl actress couldn't contain her joy on Instagram, showing off her sparkling multi-diamond ring.
Accompanied by the 45-year-old HGTV star, she wrote in the caption, "Forever starts now!!!" with heart emojis and an infinity symbol.
This news follows their recent fourth-anniversary celebration.
As per People, the picturesque backdrop for the proposal was a family trip to Scotland. The snap showed the pair against a historic stone castle backdrop with Zooey flaunting her striking pink and purple stoned flower-cut ring.
The proposal had an extra touch of warmth with her children, Elsie, eight, and Charlie, six, playing integral roles in the moment.
Why Scotland? For Jonathan, it resonates deeply, echoing his ancestral ties. Recalling the past, both he and his identical twin, Drew, sported traditional kilts for Drew's 2018 wedding. Their roots trace back to Scotland before their father migrated to Canada, where the twins embarked on their journey to stardom.
Hollywood peers and fans alike inundated the post. Courteney Cox exclaimed, "That’s so exciting! Congratulations !!!" and Mindy Kaling couldn't resist gushing, "Omg!!! So amazing Zooey! Congrats!!"
The celebrations were ramped up with Drew adding his two cents, writing: "This makes me so happy."
For those late to this love story, the two initially connected during a Carpool Karaoke segment on James Corden's show in August 2019. The episode featured Jonathan's brother, Drew, and Zooey’s sister, actress Emily Deschanel.
An insider spilled to People that after filming, the four went on a karaoke night together in Los Angeles. Zooey and Jonathan's connection then transcended friendship.
"They were all talented and spontaneous... They became friends after and realized there was more to it," the source disclosed. The months after saw them hand-in-hand on dinner dates, sealing their relationship with a kiss during a Dancing With The Stars taping.
Their social media debut arrived in October with a double date snap at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. That very month, they were the talk of the town attending J.D. Scott’s Halloween-themed wedding. Costumes? Batman for him and Catwoman for her!
Their past saw Zooey tie the knot with Jacob Pechenik and previously with musician Ben Gibbard. Jonathan's relationship timeline includes a marriage to Kelsy Ully which lasted until 2010 and a romance with producer Jacinta Kuznetsov.
