Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel have been engaged since August 2023. But as of 2026, they are not rushing into marriage. Right now, their focus is on building a life that feels real. That means spending time with family, handling personal challenges, and slowly planning a wedding that actually means something to them. Jonathan recently shared that he now wants a small, close wedding with only the people who truly care about their relationship. And when you look at their journey so far, that choice makes a lot of sense.
Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel met on Carpool Karaoke in 2019
Their story began in a very unexpected way. On August 4, 2019, they met while filming Carpool Karaoke. Jonathan was there with his brother Drew Scott, and Zooey joined with her sister Emily Deschanel. It wasn’t just another shoot, but something clicked between them almost right away. At that time, Zooey was going through a separation from Jacob Pechenik. So everything was still fresh in her personal life. Even then, the connection between her and Jonathan felt easy.
