Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott's engagement is a fairytale come to life, featuring a magical proposal at Edinburgh Castle and an enchanting floral engagement ring.

An Enchanting Proposal and a Whimsical Engagement Ring

We love it when two celebrities we love somehow end up together! Especially when they don’t hold back from sharing their fairytale moments and letting us in on their milestones. No couple does it with more charm and uniqueness than Zooey Deschanel and “Property Brother” Jonathan Scott. The beloved actress and musician, famous for her quirky roles (who can forget “Elf,” “500 Days of Summer,” and “New Girl”) and delightful style, recently announced her engagement to “Property Brothers” star Jonathan Scott. Their love story, much like Zooey herself, is filled with whimsical touches and heartfelt moments.

Zooey and Jonathan first crossed paths during a 2019 episode of “Carpool Karaoke,” and sparks flew immediately. Fast-forward to August 2023, when Jonathan proposed in a magical way.

Jonathan chose the historic Edinburgh Castle in Scotland for the proposal, ensuring the evening was perfect by arranging for them to be the last group at the landmark. As a guitarist played Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon,” a song special to the couple, Zooey’s kids unveiled a banner asking, “Zooey, will you marry me?” It sounds truly enchanting, and we love that the whole family got to be involved!

Jonathan presented Zooey with an unconventional engagement ring: the Van Cleef & Arpels "Folie des Prés," which he had screenshotted the image of a year earlier! The floral ring features an ethereal mix of purple and pink sapphires surrounded by sparkling white diamonds, all set in 18-karat white gold.

The "Folie des Pres," which means “madness up close,” is not your typical engagement ring, but why should it be? It has three floral clusters—two entirely diamond and one with a white diamond surrounded by purple sapphire petals, flanked by pink sapphires. Valued at $42,900, this design is a testament to nature’s beauty, perfectly complementing Zooey’s whimsical style.

As Zooey and Jonathan plan their wedding, they’ve revealed it will be a series of intimate celebrations with loved ones. Jonathan mentioned multiple gatherings, starting with a small, personal ceremony followed by a larger party for friends in Los Angeles. Their recently renovated 1938 “dream home” will undoubtedly be a perfect backdrop to celebrate their future together.

Cheers to this fabulous couple and their anything-but-ordinary love story!
