Why HGTV’s Jonathan Scott Thinks Good Timing Is The Key To His Romance With Zooey Deschanel

In her October 2022 interview with Hoda Kotb on “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Zooey Deschanel talked about her and Jonathan Scott’s relationship. She raved about Scott’s kindness and how it inspires her to want to continue being the same way. Kotb asked if it was a situation where Deschanel automatically knew Scott was the guy for her, and Deschanel confirmed it was. Like Scott, she also cited their age as something positive for the development of their relationship. “I was like 39 when we met,” Deschanel told Kotb, “and he was like maybe 41. We were, you know, not young. So we kinda knew, you know? You kinda know. It was great.”

In a November 2023 interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Scott mentioned something implying that perhaps his and Deschanel’s relationship was written in the stars. Scott said, “It was so bizarre because before I even met Zooey, like a year before, we were having a wrap party. … And we had a tarot reader at the wrap party.” 

The woman told the “Property Brothers” star, “Ah yes, you’ll have children within the year.” Scott was doubtful, but less than a year later was in a relationship with Deschanel and helping raise her kids. Scott made sure to express his gratitude to the tarot card reader on Fallon’s show.
