He got together with his now-fiancée after being single for nearly a year, having broken up from long-term girlfriend Jacinta Kuznetsov in April 2018.

Announcing their engagement on Instagram, Deschanel wrote: “Forever starts now!!!”, accompanied by a selfie of her and Scott, both grinning as Deschanel flashed her ring to the camera.

According to People, Scott popped the question during a trip to Scotland, with Deschanel’s two kids playing a key role in the moment.

The background of the photo shows what appears to be a Scottish castle – with the two wrapped up in leather jackets to keep them protected from the infamous UK summer weather.

People reported that Scotland is a place of particular significance for Scott, who has apparently ‘incorporated his heritage into key moments in his life’.

“At his brother Drew's 2018 wedding, for example both men wore kilts for the ceremony,” the outlet said, adding the twins’ father JIm emigrated from Scotland to Canada when he was a teenager.
