Jonathan Scott, the TV fame along with his twin brother who starred in the popular TV Series Property Brothers, made fans all over the world with their charm and creativity. And even though they were rising to fame for their wit, charm, and creativity, there was another aspect of his personality that fans loved. It was how he was a hopeless romantic for his girlfriend, Jacinta Kuznetsov.
Fans were overjoyed to see the beautiful love story between the two. They two seemed to have found their soulmates in one another, and love was in the air for the two, quite literally. They were seeing out on dates and making red carpet entries together. And everyone was always in awe of the love the two had for each other. So when the couple revealed that they were no longer together in 2018, fans were shaken, and so were we. What could have possibly gone wrong? Why did one of the most loved couples in Hollywood split up? We have all the answers.
Power Couple
John became a star in Hollywood after he rose to fame with his brother from a TV series Property Brothers, whereas Jacinta was a TV producer. Everyone that saw the two together knew that they were witnesses to one of the most beautiful relationships of all time. They never shied away from public displays of affection, serving looks together on the red carpet, or showing gratitude of how they are thankful of having found each other.
So when the news of their breakup hit the fans and us, it was rather shocking. However, those who had a closer and deeper view into their relationship knew that Scott had secrets from his past that were enough to shake up even the strongest foundations of any relationship.
Dynamic Duo
Since a very young age Jonathan and his twin brother Drew knew that they had an interest in being entertainers. But apart from that, both the boys also had a knack for house repairs and maintenance. And thanks to their father, they were taught all the tricks of the trade about housing and construction from a very young age.
With the profound understanding of property management that they had growing up, the two boys moved to Alberta, Canada, with their father when they were only 14 years old and began a very exciting project of building their own house. This was just the start of a life they didn't know they were building for themselves brick by brick.
Double the fun
As they say that twins share an unbreakable bond from the womb to the world, it was actually true in the case of John and Drew. Usually, when siblings grow up, they take form in their own different personalities and interests that are different from their siblings, but that was not true for the Scott Brothers.
Both of them studied together at the University of Calgary, where they got business management degrees and headed for a rewarding career in the field of real estate.
Passion Project
While their batchmates were squandering time by partying their way through college, the Scott brothers were busy making preparations for their bright future. With their focus firmly set on their objectives, the two pooled their resources and bought a house near where they previously lived.
The brothers immediately began fixing and repairing it, and they ultimately sold the upgraded property for a large profit. Now that they had succeeded for the first time by flipping the house, it was only the beginning of a life full of great success and happiness.
On the way
After getting their degrees from the University of Calgary, Drew and Jonathan Scott immediately began building the groundwork for a thriving real estate business. However, Jonathan Scott was aware of the fact that his first experience with ambition had come from a very different place.
Scott had a true passion and ability for acting that dated all the way back to his days as a magician, in addition to his love and skill for real estate. He wondered whether he would ever be able to combine these two quite different life objectives.
Double Act
Amazingly, Scott was able to blend his passion for real estate management with his love of performing and amusing people, something that is not very common these days. While the two brothers were busy making a successful real estate business, they eventually caught the attention of various TV producers who were looking for charming and skilled real estate experts.
And as fate and hard work would have it, the dynamic pair even landed a slot on their own reality TV series, the now wildly successful Property Brothers. The brothers weren't ready for the following popularity, much alone the love adventures that would follow, though.
Fame and fortune
Anyone who was familiar with the Scott brothers knew that their TV show would become an immediate hit with viewers and fans. They were not only highly educated and accomplished in their respective fields but also incredibly funny and charming, and their amazing connection with one another made them fun to watch.
Before they even realized it, The Property Brothers even started their own line of books, radio programs, music, and acting. They swiftly grew into building a true empire. Even while their careers were flourishing, even more, thrilling things were going to happen behind the scenes.
Matter of the heart
With the success of their show and real estate business, John was clearly on the seventh cloud, yet he yearned for someone special to share all this with. By having a very successful TV career, he finally achieved his ultimate vision of fusing his passion for real estate with acting.
And apart from that, he also had the benefit of working beside his brother and best friend every day! Behind the scenes, however, there was one thing that this TV star's flawless existence needed. He got everything he desired, but there was no one special with whom to enjoy it.
Sudden soulmate
Jonathan was truly blessed to lead the type of life that everyone wanted, a nice family, a successful career that blended his two passions together, and the comfort of working with his best friend. To fall in love with his soul mate, however, was the one thing that he was still lacking in his life. But he had no idea that he was about to go on a voyage of love.
In 2015, he attended a notable charity event for animal rights, but once he was there, he had second thoughts. But it all changed when he got a glimpse of a blonde beauty from across the room; he instantly fell in love. But did he have the guts to approach this enigmatic siren?
Girl Online
Scott started to feel guilty as the night came to an end since he knew he had lost the opportunity of going up and talking to her. And he knew that after the event was over, no one could find the mysterious blonde beauty.
However, he didn't let this stand in the way of his pursuit of love; he turned to the other visitors to see if they knew her name. And as soon as he found it out who she was, he went directly to social media, as any of us would have done too, to get to know the beautiful Jacinta Kuznetsov.
Now that he had found her online, did he have the guts to drop her a text? Would he be able to start the love story of her and Jacinta?
The right words
Scott was beyond happy to have found the mysterious woman who had stolen his heart. The next step, though, was the one that was challenging for him. He had to put himself out there and let fate decide the trajectory of his love life. He spent a lot of time thinking of the perfect words to say to her.
The thought of messaging her out of the blue like this made him feel extremely anxious. But at the same time, he didn't want to be a weirdo who just silently stalked people on social media. So, he eventually gathered the courage to text her and ask her out. You know how when you confess your feelings to someone, and a thousand things go through your head? It was the same for John. He didn't know whether she would agree to it or not.
First Date
Scott's anxiousness turned to happiness when Kuznetsov not only just replied to his message but agreed to go out with him on a date. And John was beyond thrilled to have gotten a chance to go on a date with her dream girl, a girl he had fallen for the moment he laid eyes on her. But dating isn't an easy game, you see; even though Scott had the rare golden chance of being with his dream girl, it did not go quite as he had planned.
Spending most of his time on screen and his business Scott wasn't very experienced in the dating game. So out of nervousness, he kept asking her way too many questions throughout the entire date instead of letting the conversation flow naturally. And tired of answering all the questions, Kuznetsov got a little agitated and confronted Scott that she was exhausted. Scott's mind became a maze, was the relationship already over before even beginning?
Second chance
Lucky for Scott, he got the chance most of us don't get when it comes to love life. Kuznetsov decided to give Scott another chance to sweep her off her feet. And as exciting and important chance this was for Scott, he became even more anxious, and a hundred thoughts began to run through his head.
He couldn't have let this second date blow, either. He knew he had to amp up his game and get the girl he fell in love with the moment he saw her. He couldn't repeat his mistakes again; he couldn't let himself ask her a billion questions again. He had to do better. And as fate had it.
The second time lucky
There was one thing clear in Scott's head from his previous date with Kuznetsov he couldn't let himself make those mistakes again. He had to stop being nervous and concerned about creating a good impression, and he had to stop being so controlling about how their evening was proceeding. He just had to be real, the real Scott, and let the universe do its magic naturally.
And as every great love story would have it, happiness came to them both as the date was a great success. And Scott's charm and kindness did sweep Kuznetsov from her feet. As soon as he let go of the nervousness and embraced himself, he became more comfortable, and their chemistry was sparkling.
Loved up
It didn't take time for the two to realize how much they loved each other. Scott and his days were he asked Jacinta numerous questions were long gone. With time as they grew closer, they started to feel immensely comfortable with each other's company.
Scott believed that now he had everything, a successful TV Show, a thriving business, and now a fantasy-like relationship. And he was aware of how precious all these things were, so he and Jacinta both decided to keep their relationship a secret from the world until they were ready to officially reveal it to the public, even though they didn't know that the truth of their love was about to come in front of the world already.
Going Public
Having dated for quite some time now, the happy couple decided that they were ready to disclose their relationship to the world, their supporters, and viewers.
And as they had hoped, the world and their supporters were thrilled when Scott and Jacinta both declared that they were actually a couple on their respective Instagram accounts. But they had no idea about the storm that lay in their road ahead.
Screen time
After their declaration of love for each other on each other's social media platforms, fans were even more rejoiced to see Jacinta's appearances in The Scott brothers TV Series Property Brothers.
It seemed like the two brothers were living perfect lives when Linda Phan, Drew Scott's girlfriend, also started to make appearances on the show. They were leading a picture-perfect life together and had no idea about how things were going to become a little more complex behind the scenes.
Dream holiday
For Jonathan Scott, everything appeared to be going well and exactly how he had planned. He had a successful TV show and a business with his brother and best friend, Drew, and he couldn't be happier in his relationship with Jacinta.
So it just seemed right when he decided to escape to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Maui for a romantic Christmas with Jacinta. And as the word spread about their beautiful and exquisite vacation, fans started to suspect news of an engagement between the two love birds. Day by day, as their vacation was coming to an end; fans were waiting on pins and needles to see if they would see Jacinta come back from the vacation with a ring on her finger.
Chilling out
It is safe to say that Scott and Kuznetsov's romantic holiday to Maui, a beautiful Hawaiian island, for Christmas was a dream come true for them. They even posted pictures of the two of them together frequently of them, taking in the wonderful scenery and enjoying some alone time.
Despite the lovely surroundings and the wonderful time they were having, Scott showed no signs of proposing. The fans were perplexed and couldn't make out what was happening. After seeing how loving both of them were in the relationship, it was only obvious for them to expect them to get engaged. Despite the beautiful and happy vacation photos, was there trouble in paradise?
Mixed Messages
Many people were confused about the true nature of Jonathan Scott and Jacinta Kuznetsov's relationship. There were moments when it seemed as though the two would always be in a committed relationship, but there were also times when it seemed as though they still saw their relationship as young and wanted to take things slowly.
Even while it was clear they were genuinely in love, some fans began to have a suspicious sense that something was blocking them from moving further in their relationship, but they just couldn't guess what. And as for the future, no one could have foreseen what was about to happen.
Squad goals
Even though the fans were finding it difficult to guess if Scott and Jacinta would ever marry, the two still shared some pretty exciting news with the world. The Scott brothers and their girlfriends had all decided to move in together to live in the same house.
Even though it seems like a dream to live with your best friend in the same house, no one could tell if this was a fantasy or the beginning of a disaster. We could only wait for the time to reveal the truth.
Shock Announcement
Fans were getting curious to know how it had been between the two happy couples after moving in together. Were they getting along peacefully, or were there bumps along the way? But what followed was something no one could have guessed. What the world thought was going to be an engagement announcement post turned out to be a breakup post when Scott shared a beautiful picture of him and Jacinta on Instagram with a caption that announced their breakup.
He explained that the two had parted ways but were still good friends. However, many fans still wanted to know Jacinta's end of the story and her opinion about the relationship.
Hidden Truth
When the fans went to Jacinta's page to check her side of the story about the breakup, they were shocked to see that she had shared the same statements used by Scott in his post.
Everyone was amazed and respected how maturely they were handling this, in contrast to many other celebrity relationships that had ended publicly.
Secret past
In reality, there were details about Jonathan Scott's life that had never been made public. Fans were not aware that Scott was still carrying the scars from his previous relationship, one that he had never mentioned to his fans, as they admired the lovely social media postings from both him and Kuznetsov and wished to find a relationship as loving and open as theirs.
Scott had already been married once, but he and Kelsy Ully, his ex-wife, split in 2010 after two years of marriage. Was his failed marriage with Kelsy the reason why he didn't move forward with Jacinta?
Separation Anxiety
People who genuinely loved Jonathan Scott and Jacinta Kuznetsov's relationship pondered the reasons for their split. Around this time, rumors circulated that Scott's closeness with his twin brother had caused the relationship to become strained.
After initially settling into a four-person home, the two couples parted ways, with Scott and Jacinta relocating to Toronto. Did Scott's longing for his twin brother stretch his and Jacinta's romantic bond too much?
Downtime
Since the world didn't have a front-row view of their relationship, it was only obvious that they started to come up with their own theories and reasons for why the two broke up. There was also an idea or a theory that said that the blonde beauty had grown tired of the famous lifestyle, which was the underlying cause of Scott and Kuznetsov's sudden separation that gained traction.
She worked as a producer before marrying Scott, but dating Scott made her even more well-known in public than her profession in the production industry. Is it possible that Kuznetsov's celebrity put him under too much strain, ruining their relationship?
A brave face
Scott was attempting to go on with his life and put the past in the past when an important event that would bring him both pleasure and grief was about to occur. Around a month after ending his relationship with Kuznetsov, Scott traveled to Italy to attend his brother's wedding to Linda Phan.
He was thrilled about his brother's good news, but he was overwhelmed with emotions as he thought back on how difficult his split with Kuznetsov had been for him. He was unaware that there were several reasons to feel optimistic about the future. And the fact that life still goes on.
Moving on
Despite how painful and terrible it must have been for Jonathan Scott and Jacinta Kuznetsov to break up after being so much in love. They had both been very inspirational in how they handled the breakup and moved on. They continued to be good friends and even worked on Property Brothers projects together.
Amazingly, their separation allowed them both to move on in ways none of them had anticipated. It was truly a rare sight to witness a celebrity separate with such respect and decency.
Keeping busy
After Scott and Kuznetsov announced their separation, fans quickly started to guess whether they would leave with another person or not. Scott, however, focused entirely on his career and felt that his heart needed to fully mend before he entered another relationship again.
He even mentioned how he was "very much involved in fourteen construction projects right now" in an interview with People magazine. Scott was hesitant to get into something new immediately, but Kuznetsov saw things quite differently.
Wedding bells
Even though Jonathan Scott made the decision to focus on his career and take some time off after his surprise breakup with Kuznetsov, Jacinta, on the other hand, despite the sorrow and agony she had after losing Scott, Kuznetsov found love again and far sooner than she ever anticipated. She even announced her engagement to her boyfriend, Will Allen.
You read it right: Kuznetsov announced her engagement to her longtime friend and new boyfriend, Will Allen, less than seven months after splitting from Scott.
Island Hopping
After everything that Scott and Kuznetsov had been through together, everyone wanted them to have a taste of genuine happiness. Fans were, therefore, extremely happy and motivated when Allen and Kuznetsov, who had recently engaged, took a quick trip to Roatan in the Caribbean to celebrate.
She jokingly even wrote in the caption of one of her Instagram posts, "Will only answer to Ariel from now on." However, there was a more serious side to their trip.
Giving back
Considering that Scott and Kuznetsov met at a charity event, one might assume that Jacinta believed in the principles of fundraising and philanthropic activities. Because of this, Kuznetsov found time to raise awareness of the problems with poverty and education that Roatan and the surrounding areas of Honduras confront, even when she was on vacation, to celebrate her engagement.
And we are sure that Scott must have been pleased that his former girlfriend was still keen to assist others. Or, at least, he would be if a new love of his hadn't diverted his attention. You heard that right; there was a special someone in John's life too.
New girlfriend
After spending some time alone and allowing his heart to heal following the devastating breakup with Kuznetsov, Scott finally lets someone new into his life. Fans couldn't have been happier to see John finally find someone special in his life again. Moreover, that new lover was none other than Zooey Deschanel, the famous New Girl actress! Or own Jessica Day.
For the first few months of their relationship, the two had kept their romance a secret, but they have since acknowledged it in several heartfelt Instagram posts. On her Instagram page, Deschanel praised Scott, writing, "This incredible guy makes me truly happy every single day and fills my life with love and joy."
The New Girl
In the beginning, Scott kept his relationship with the New Girl actress a secret, but how did they actually meet? How did they fall in love? Well, Deschanel and Scott got to know each other while recording a Carpool Karaoke episode with their brothers and sisters in August 2019. The two of them hit it off right away.
Even Jonathan Scott was quite surprised by how fast he moved on from Jacinta Kuznetsov the moment he laid eyes on Deschanel. Was this the beginning of something special?
Pleasant Surprise
Considering that Scott had just ended his relationship with Kuznetsov, meeting Deschanel, in his words, was a "pleasant surprise." "I set the bar higher for what I want in a partner, so it's absolutely unique for me. I was a little taken aback. It was undoubtedly a lovely surprise", Scott told Us Weekly.
Similar to Scott, Deschanel had recently ended her four-year marriage to Jacob Pechenik, with whom she has a daughter and a son. However serious these matters must have been, the two got along instantly and were inseparable.
Instant chemistry
It was apparent that the two had an instant connection as soon as they met. It was natural and beautiful, and the two were just comfortable around each other without any hesitations. On top of all, they even shared a lot of the same interests. According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Jonathan and Zooey "had an instant connection" when they first met while filming Carpool Karaoke.
They became friends via their shared love of music, movies, theatre, and Christmas carols. There was no denying their connection, but their shared interests and sense of humor were what made their relationship succeed.
Shared interests
Their relationship was sparked by Scott and Deschanel's shared interests and characteristics. And isn't that what a good and healthy relationship needs? Enjoying with each other and sharing each other's interests. According to an insider who spoke to Us Weekly, they began "texting and talking on the phone, and it blossomed from there."
Although they both knew they weren't searching for a relationship, they bonded so quickly that the outcome was exactly the reverse of what they had intended. But that is what happens when love strikes, isn't it? Since then, their relationship had accelerated from when they first met in August 2019!
Instagram Official
Since they originally declared their relationship on Instagram, they have posted a lot of romantic content. However, when they posted their first photo together as a couple in October 2019, making their relationship public on Instagram, fans went into a frenzy.
Jonathan cradled Deschanel in his arms as they posed alongside Drew and his wife, Linda Phan, for a Halloween-themed portrait. On Instagram, Jonathan posted the picture with the message, "So much fun was had last night. I most definitely did not yell at such a loud volume!" Soon after, rumors about the couple's engagement began to circulate.
Engagement Rumors
More than a year into their relationship, In November 2020, rumors of Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel's engagement began to surface. The Property Brothers star, however, immediately put an end to them.
During an appearance on The Covino & Rich Show on SiriusXM, Scott said, "I'm quite confident that I will ask my girlfriend to marry me before I tell a reporter." although the two lovebirds haven't yet gotten engaged, Scott is aware of how lucky he is to have Deschanel in his life and is head over heels in love with her.
Dating up
Scott couldn't stop gushing about how amazing his girlfriend, Zooey Deschanel, was. He bragged over her to Entertainment Tonight following their second anniversary, stating, "And I am aware that I am getting older! I simply need to keep setting higher standards and maintain them."
How adorable! Who isn't a fool when in love? These two certainly are. However, we can't stop but wonder if Deschanel ever gets the Scott brothers mixed up. We are certain that we have done so in the past.
Twinning
As the Scott brothers are twins, it is understandable that they could be confused, as even though we have been multiple times, for Deschanel, this doesn't seem to be an issue. According to the actress, Jonathan and Drew do not have any similarities in terms of appearance, and they have very distinct personalities.
And after this, we feel that the two are unquestionably right for one another, and after a period of dating, they were ready to take their relationship further. They were ready to hit the news once more.
Homeowners
The news that Scott and Deschanel were moving forward in their relationship by purchasing a home together was quickly covered by the media. They instantly began renovating it. "When we initially brought [Zooey's] kids by the property, they called it the Park House. You know what happens when you give something a name, whether it's a skinny stray dog or the lovely house of your dreams? You keep it. In Drew + Jonathan Reveal, Jonathan wrote, "The Park House was mine and Zooey's by the time you knew it,"
But the couple did have several difficulties as they adapted to living in their new home, their Park House.
Forever home
The pandemic caused some supply and construction delays for Scott and Deschanel. Despite these issues, they still make the perfect team and are literally couple goals! In a Drew + Jonathan Reveal article, Scott said, "We have each other, and we have time; we can spend the rest of our lives together in this house. Our house."
"Our ideal home, where we can play host to friends and relatives while also enjoying seeing the kids giggle and explore the yard."
Reflecting on the past
Despite being in a fantasy-like relationship with Deschanel, Scott found it difficult to move on after his unexpected separation from Jacinta Kuznetsov, and he only recently spoke up to People about what caused their split.
Scott told the news source, "She wanted to achieve a lot of things in her life, and it did not include following a partner around on the road as they pursued their career." Even though it was practically impossible to stay together after trying to compromise, he still found it difficult to end things, especially after learning that she got engaged less than a year later.
So one would imagine how he reacted to that news.
Hit Hard
Everyone is aware that shortly after Scott and Jacinta's unexpected separation, which wasn't easy for the Property Brother, Kuznetsov moved on to a new partner and got engaged. "I won't deny that I was upset. I wasn't ready to date. Nothing about it ever crossed my mind," he confessed to People. But as a realist, I understood that it was not my place to determine when and who she would date." Seeing Scott being so mature about the breakup has surely raised our standards high for our significant others in our lives.
However difficult the separation might have been, he was able to accept the separation after some treatment and healing time.
Coming to terms
Despite the fact that Scott and his ex-girlfriend broke up a few years ago, they have stayed friends. Even though the breakup was difficult, he now understands that they weren't meant to be. They remain close friends and provide one another encouragement.
Scott told People, "I've acknowledged the fact that we were not the right as life partners, regardless of what we had," Scott said in a statement to People." Although we don't speak often, we get along well, and both know we are there if needed."
Early Beginnings
To understand Jonathan Scott's history and background and how it impacted the fate of his relationship with Kuznetsov, let's go back to the beginning. The Scott brothers were raised and brought up by their talented and creative parents on a horse farm just outside of Vancouver, Canada.
They both had what it required to excel in the limelight of show business since their parents had always pushed them to chase their dreams and lead independent lives. Nobody, however, could have foreseen the road they would travel on in their pursuit of achievement.
Magic man
From a very young age, Scott always knew he wanted to work in the entertainment industry, but at first, it looked like his path to stardom would go in a completely other direction. Scott initially had a strong urge to become a well-known magician who amazed audiences with extraordinary card tricks and skill.
But as he gained popularity, the would-be celebrity learned more about the less glamorous sides of the entertainment business, and the wannabe magician had a sudden change of heart.
Looking to the future
Looking back on Scott's romantic past, we think it's fair to say that he has gone through both highs and lows when it comes to matters of the heart. Although he initially kept his first marriage a secret, the famous Scott has started to open up more and more about his personal life to his followers and has become more at ease in the spotlight.
And despite their split, he and Jacinta Kuznetsov are still close and a big part of the family. We may all take inspiration from the polite and loving manner in which these two stars parted ways, opening the door to a new love for them both.
