Drew and Jonathan Scott have become super famous after years of appearing on their HGTV show Property Brothers. The siblings have a $200 million net worth and they have been in the news even more lately because of Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel's romance.
It's fun to see siblings working on a show together, and they do seem to love what they do. The brothers also seem to get along well, but do they actually have a good relationship? Let's take a look.
Super Close (Even Virtually)
While Jonathan and Drew don't do their own renovations, part of the appeal of watching them is the close sibling relationship that they appear to share. There are so many shows about home renovations and people want to keep watching because of the hosts. If the hosts have a passion for what they're doing and seem to really understand what the clients need, then it's more entertaining to watch and viewers can also learn something.
It's fun to watch Chip and Joanna Gaines and their strong marriage on Fixer Upper, and it's also great to watch Drew and Jonathan Scott on Property Brothers.
Are they really as close as they seem? It turns out that they definitely are.
The brothers shared that they have been keeping in touch through FaceTime during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to E! News, they have dinner together via FaceTime and talk about work. They also have game nights with JD Scott, their brother, his wife Annalee, and their mom and dad, which is adorable to hear about.
Brothers And Roommates
Jonathan and Drew Scott used to live together, according to People. Jonathan and Drew even stayed roommates when Drew fell in love with Linda Phan, his now wife, and when Linda moved in as well.
Linda Phan shared what that experience was like: she said, "“People were always like, ‘Isn’t that weird?’ But there’s an ease to it. You wake up and you go to work. It’s nice and really convenient to be able to have meetings with the people you live with," according to People.
According to The List, the brothers purchased a house in Windsor Square, Los Angeles for $2.4 million. The house was 3,300 square feet and they paid $200,000 over the home's asking price. Your Tango notes that Drew and Linda owned the house right next door, and people thought that Jonathan would move in next door, but that didn't happen.
It definitely sounds like the Scott siblings are as close as they appear to be, as it would be tough to live together if that wasn't the case.
In an interview with Reader's Digest, Jonathan shared that he was living in Las Vegas, and Drew said he and Linda were happy in Los Angeles.
In an interview with Smashing Interviews Magazine, the brother shared that they have gotten along well since childhood. Jonathan Scott said, "Drew and I have always worked in synch very well together. We started our first business before we were eight years old making these little decorative coat hangers, and ever since then, we’ve always been able to divide and conquer with absolutely everything. So today in business, we’ll find that one of us will automatically respond or start working with one licensee or one of us will start working on part of a retail relationship."
While many people say not to mix business with family or friendship, as that can get difficult, it looks like Drew and Jonathan have always been able to pursue business opportunities together, even when they were little kids.
Drew said that their mom and dad were supportive of their kids going after what they loved and working hard. Jonathan said that the family lived on a ranch, so their parents wanted to make sure that they were keeping busy: he explained, "We were not allowed to sit around and play video games."
It sounds like the brothers have figured out how to work well together: in an interview with Parade, Drew said that if they didn't agree while working, they would have a "no BS policy." They talked about what was bothering right away and figured it out.
The Property Brothers are definitely super successful, and Entertainment Tonight reported that that they just completed renovation number 400 for the show. The Today Show made a sweet video where past clients thanked the brothers for all they had done. In the video, Linda Phan shared some kind words: “Four hundred renovations later, and what you see is what you get with the brothers. It’s always been about helping others and always will be.”
