Let’s talk about love stories that feel like they’re straight out of a rom-com. When Jonathan Scott first met Zooey Deschanel back in August 2019, there was no denying the instant chemistry between them. This wasn’t just a casual meet-and-greet; the HGTV star and the 500 Days of Summer actress had a connection so strong, it felt like destiny. They opened up about their whirlwind romance during an episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden, where the magic first happened.
From First Meeting to Love Story
Now, here’s the fun part. During the April 28 episode of Drew Scott’s podcast, At Home With Linda and Drew Scott, the couple sat down with Jonathan’s twin brother Drew and his wife, Linda Phan, to celebrate the twins’ 42nd birthday. Drew couldn’t help but dive into the details of how their romance unfolded. He asked Zooey, “When you first saw him on Carpool Karaoke, did you know he was flirting with you?”
And Zooey, the New Girl star, didn’t hold back with her response. “Yes, yes,” she admitted with a sweet smile, confirming she was fully aware of Jonathan’s playful advances. “You were being very gentlemanly,” she teased, recalling how she even consulted her publicist, who also happens to be one of her best friends, asking if Jonathan was indeed flirting. The answer? A resounding yes.

Jonathan’s Playful Side
Jonathan, clearly not one to shy away from charm, joked about his own behavior during their first encounter. “What was it? Was it when I picked you up for the photograph or when I sat across from you…” he laughed, reminiscing about the moment. Zooey playfully added, “You were like, ‘Lay on my lap,’ and then you picked me up. It was all of it. It was the whole package.”
Even Drew, who was there filming Carpool Karaoke with his brother, noticed the undeniable spark between the two. “When we saw the first cut of the episode from Corden’s team, I was like, yeah, she’s definitely flirting with Jonathan,” Drew revealed. Despite Jonathan’s attempt to play it cool, it was clear to everyone on set that the chemistry was real.

Jonathan later admitted that he might have been a little too enthusiastic. “The producer said I was flirting so hard that they had to cut a bunch of it out,” he joked. Talk about leaving a lasting impression!

Family Approval and Moving Forward
For Jonathan, this relationship marks a fresh start after his six-year marriage to Kelsy Ully ended in 2013. And Drew? He’s absolutely thrilled about his brother’s new love. In fact, he even shared how Zooey passed his “approval process,” something he jokingly refers to as his “good for Jonathan” checklist.
“Zooey and Jonathan are both amazing people, and I think it’s great,” Drew told Closer Weekly in October 2019. “It’s exciting. It means I get to have Jon out here to spend more time with us in L.A.”
It’s clear that Jonathan and Zooey were meant to find each other. Their love story is a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life happen when you least expect them. Here’s to love, laughter, and all the good times ahead for this couple!
