One year ago, Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel delighted fans with their engagement news. However, despite their commitment to each other, many are wondering why they haven’t yet walked down the aisle. Here’s a look at what’s been keeping them from saying “I do” just yet.
Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott announce their engagement after four years
Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott announced their engagement after four years of a whirlwind romance that began on the set of “Carpool Karaoke” with their siblings, Emily Deschanel and Drew Scott.
The couple’s joyful news was shared with fans through social media, featuring the unique and stunning engagement ring Jonathan presented to Zooey. Zooey, glowing with happiness, captioned their engagement photo with “Forever starts now!” and expressed her profound gratitude for their love.
They recently celebrated their fourth anniversary, with Zooey reflecting on their time together with a heartfelt post, “Four years since I met this dream man. I love him more every day. I’m eternally grateful!” Jonathan echoed these sentiments, playfully referencing Zooey’s film “500 Days of Summer,” saying, “500 days with Zooey Deschanel. Actually, it’s been many more, but who’s counting? Happy anniversary, baby!”
Despite their happy engagement, wedding plans seem to have taken a backseat. Jonathan Scott has been busy not only with his television career, including the popular show “Celebrity IOU,” but also embracing his role as a stepdad to Zooey’s two children from her previous marriage, Elsie and Charlie.
Jonathan admitted recently, “It hasn’t gone anywhere yet” with the wedding planning, indicating that their focus has been on blending their lives together rather than rushing into wedding arrangements.
Both Jonathan and Zooey have been married before, which might contribute to their more cautious approach to wedding planning. Zooey was previously married to musician Ben Gibbard from 2009 to 2012, and then to producer Jacob Pechenik, with whom she shares her two children. Jonathan’s first marriage to Keksy Ully ended in 2010. Maybe, their previous experiences might influence their desire to carefully plan their next steps. What do you think?
