Jonathan Scott & Zooey Deschanel Still Haven’t ‘Figured Out’ Wedding Plans After 16 Months Engaged (Exclusive)

Jonathan Scott has a big goal for 2025 — planning his wedding!

The Don’t Hate Your House with the Property Brothers star, 46, gave PEOPLE an update on his wedding plans with fiancée Zooey Deschanel, 44, during an exclusive interview. Though he’s looking forward to their big day, Scott says that he and Deschanel have both been too busy to make a dent in the planning.

“I can guarantee you we have done absolutely 0% more work,” he joked to PEOPLE. “We’ve just had a lot of things going on. Maybe that’ll be my New Year’s resolution — we’ve got to get this wedding figured out.”

While they have yet to narrow down the details, Scott did previously say that he and Deschanel wanted to keep the guest list on the smaller side for their special day.

“We know that the most important thing for us is to be surrounded by our loved ones,” he told PEOPLE in May. “And we’re not planning to do a crazy, extravagant wedding. It’s going to be pretty intimate.”

He added that after they celebrate with a smaller ceremony, they plan on hosting a second event with even more friends.

“We will probably throw another party just for friends here locally,” Scott said. The couple is based in Los Angeles and live in their 1938 “dream home” that they renovated together.

The Celebrity IOU host and New Girl star first met while filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke with Scott’s twin brother Drew and Deschanel’s sister Emily in August 2019. The pair were spotted holding hands a month later, and went Instagram official in October that same year.

After four years of dating, Jonathan popped the question while they vacationed in Scotland together in August 2023.

He even got Zooey’s two children — daughter Elsie, 9, and son Charlie, 7 — involved in the special moment by having them pull out a banner that read, “Zooey, will you marry me,” as he got down on one knee at Edinburgh Castle.
