Property Brothers stars Jonathan and Drew Scott are proving that family bonds come in all forms, from concert adventures to precious homecoming rituals. Their recent experiences showcase how these celebrity siblings create lasting memories with their loved ones.
In an exciting outing, Jonathan Scott and fiancée Zooey Deschanel treated her 9-year-old daughter Elsie to what they called a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” – Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Toronto. The concert became magical when fellow Swifties showered Elsie with friendship bracelets, making her first concert unforgettable. “I think we got serious parent points for this,” Jonathan shared on social media, capturing Elsie’s joy as she danced and made heart shapes with her hands from their floor seats.
The concert holds special meaning for Deschanel, who famously played Swift-loving Jess in “New Girl” – a connection that came full circle when Swift appeared on the show in 2013. Deschanel recently opened up about her daughter’s budding musical talents, sharing that Elsie “has a beautiful voice” though she can be shy about performing. The actress emphasizes that her children, including son Charlie, 7, remain her “number one, most important thing.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Scott family, Drew Scott’s home life is filled with heartwarming rituals. His 2-year-old son Parker has created an adorable welcome-home tradition that melts his father’s heart daily. Working with his mother, Linda Phan, Parker orchestrates a sweet surprise by waiting at the window when Drew returns home. “His head, not even his chin, just from his mouth to the top of his head, is over the window frame,” Drew describes, noting how Parker gently taps and waves when he spots his father.
The tradition has expanded to include Drew’s 5-month-old daughter, Piper, creating a daily family moment that reminds the HGTV star of what makes a house unique. Drew recently shared this touching ritual on Instagram, prompting a playful response from Jonathan about whether the kids were watching for their uncle instead.
The brothers’ different experiences with children highlight their unique family dynamics. While Drew enjoys quiet, sweet moments with his toddler and infant, Jonathan embraces the playful chaos of his role as a future stepfather to Deschanel’s older children. “Wait until they’re old enough to open their door and go outside and terrorize you,” Jonathan jokes, describing how Elsie and Charlie love to hide and jump out to surprise him.
The brotherly bond remains strong throughout, with both siblings taking active roles in each other’s family lives. Jonathan’s enthusiasm for being an uncle is evident in his interactions with Parker, who constantly greets him with an excited “Hi, Uncle Jonathan” during family dinners. This mutual support and involvement show how the Scott brothers are building strong family connections that extend beyond their immediate households.
Their latest series, “Don’t Hate Your House with the Property Brothers,” aired on HGTV on November 13, may focus on transforming houses. Still, both brothers understand that homes are built on love, laughter, and precious moments with family.
