Home renovation shows can give plenty of us decorating inspiration, as well as the push to dig a little deeper into the hosts’ personal lives. His time on TV meant that it wasn’t long before Jonathan Scott – and his hidden love life – appeared to become the talk of the world.
Behind The Host
Tricks Of The Trade
It turns out that Jonathan hasn’t always been the property guru that he is now. In fact, the star once had dreams of making it as an entertainer and learned all the tricks in the trade he needed to be a magician. He might have worked hard, but life was all about to change for Jonathan.
Tricks Of The Trade
The Start Of It All
Although Jonathan wanted to be an entertainer, he knew he needed money to make his dreams come true. It wasn’t long before Jonathan and his twin, Drew, invested in their first house together. They completed their renovations and eventually flipped it for a $50,000 profit. This was just the beginning for the brothers.
The Start Of It All
A Big Debt
Money might have been coming in, but there was one big bill that Jonathan needed to pay. It’s said the star had an $80,000 debt thanks to an investment gone wrong, Jonathan wanted to start his own theater show but was supposedly conned by another magician. Thankfully, Drew soon stepped in to help his brother in need.
A Big Debt
Saving Their Money
Jonathan was desperate to make money and Drew managed to convince his brother to work alongside him as a flight attendant. This was the perfect way for the dynamic duo to save up all the money they needed to start their own business. The property ladder soon wouldn’t know what hit it.
Saving Their Money
Brand New Business
It took many months of hard work, but the brothers eventually had enough to set up Scott Real Estate Inc. in 2004. Now, they could help others buy, sell, and renovate the homes of their dreams. It wasn’t long before their company was a huge success and the money came rolling in.
Brand New Business
Bringing Back Memories
The company was soon so successful that the brothers had branches across America and Canada. However, it was their Las Vegas location that brought back all those dreams Jonathan once had to become an entertainer. He had always longed to have a career in show business. However, it looked as though it was too late.
Bringing Back Memories
The First Step
Thankfully, all those thoughts soon disappeared when Drew signed up to a real estate competition show. Although the series never hit the air, it was all the brothers needed to step into the limelight. The producers learned that Drew had a twin and wanted the pair to audition for a show together.
The First Step
An Instant Hit
The series was first shown on W Network before HGTV realized the show’s potential and took it on full-time. At last, property Brothers was born. The show hit our screens in 2011 and was about to give the Scott brothers the fame they had always longed for – even if it was different from the life they had imagined.
An Instant Hit
Earning Their Roles
Jonathan took on the role of the contractor while Drew has found himself as the real estate agent on the show. Property Brothers was only the beginning. In fact, the series soon paved the way for many spin-offs including Brother Vs. Brother, and Buying and Selling. Jonathan and Drew were about to become the talk of TV.
Earning Their Roles
Locking Eyes
All of his time in the limelight meant it wasn’t long before Jonathan met someone to have by his side. He was at a charity gala in 2015 when someone across the room caught his eye. Now, Jonathan needed to learn more. There was something about the mystery woman that kept pulling him back.
Locking Eyes
Working Hard
It was none other than Jacinta Kuznetsov. Sadly, Jonathan was about to work harder than he ever thought to land a first date. Apparently, the star tracked down Jacinta’s social media and continually messaged her until she finally gave in and agreed to a date with the contractor. The date marked a whole new chapter.
Working Hard
Their First Impression
It turned out that Jacinta wasn’t impressed with Jonathan – and didn’t hold back on her thoughts. Jonathan confessed that he didn’t want to overwhelm his date with questions, but Jacinta thought the ones he did ask were boring. It didn’t take long for Jonathan to cut the date short after Jacinta’s revelation.
Their First Impression
Another Chance
Although the date hadn’t gone to plan, Jonathan wanted to text Jacinta to apologize. This was the start of something real. Jonathan later admitted that he got it all wrong as Jacinta was merely being sarcastic, and the pair soon agreed to reschedule their date for the next night. The rest is history.
Another Chance
Joined At The Hip
It didn’t take long for the pair to become glued to one another’s side. Jonathan has grown to be known for his fun-loving personality, and now he had someone to help with his clowning around. Drew even admitted that anyone could tell when they were up to no good as they would wiggle their eyebrows at one another.
Joined At The Hip
