Jonathan Scott Loves Being a ‘Bonus Dad’ to Zooey Deschanel’s 2 Kids

When Scott met Deschanel and found out that she had two kids, he knew that life was going to look very different if things were to work out between them. Fortunately, the “Property Brothers” star was open to having kids and has really adapted to the role of being a bonus dad. In fact, he has spoken very highly of Deschanel’s kids in various interviews.

“Family’s very important for us and we’ve got two kids. These guys come over all the time with the nephews, the nieces and everyone’s friends — they all play together. I can just imagine as Parker gets older, it’s gonna be one big happy family,” Scott told ET in August 2022.

About five months later, Scott told Today that he “enjoys every minute” he gets to spend with Elsie, 8, and Charlie, 6.

“I always knew I would be a great dad — former clown, magician, I can build stuff — and it’s been incredible. … You see your life transform, your priorities become your kids, and when they have a performance that they’re doing at school, or working on some of their homework, or whatever it might be, it’s a joy,” he told the outlet.
