Property Brothers” star, Jonathan Scott, found rapid success in building houses, but that was not the case with finding the right partner or having kids. As the years progressed, he promised to become a dad whether he found the right woman or not. Luckily, he did!
Jonathan Scott always knew he wanted to be a father, but with an unlucky streak of failed romantic relationships, that dream seemed far out of reach. His first serious relationship was with Kelsy Ully, an airline-crew scheduler, who he met and married in 2007.
After tying the knot, Scott relocated from his home in Canada to Las Vegas to be with her. Unfortunately, the marriage failed after two years. The HGTV star explained, “We were young, and there was a rush going into it. She wanted to get married on 07/07/07. So it wasn’t something that naturally happened.”
Scott remembers his divorce period as being “too long” and “too dark.” However, it was not all loss. Scott chose to see the positive and came out with valuable life lessons. His moment of heartache prepared him to find true love in the future. And even though his romance had failed, he still knew he wanted to one day get married. “Being married was a huge part of my life,” he admitted.
Luckily he got another shot at love when he met Jacinta Kuznetsov, a development producer at Scott Entertainment, in 2016. In the beginning, the pair kept a low profile, but fans of their show soon began to notice. Unfortunately, they broke up in 2018 after dating for two years.
Despite feeling heartbroken for the second time, Scott had nothing but kind words. He shared that he and Jacinta respected each other fiercely and that there would be no drama or negativity following the split.
After his two relationships ended, Scott was glad he did not have children with his exes, as that would have made things more complicated for all parties involved. He shared:
“We didn’t have kids or anything. And it really helped me understand what I wanted in a relationship.”
SCOTT DESIRED TO FIND THE RIGHT WOMAN
Scott suffered anguish and heartache during divorce which would later help him appreciate his two kids and new love more. Following his split from Jacinta, he stayed single for over a year. While he found himself strongly convicted to find the right partner, he did not want to start dating for the sake of being in a relationship.
The star shared that he has been blessed a lot in life. He could buy whatever he wanted and go anywhere in the world. Even so, all that still did not feel right without someone by his side to share the beautiful life moments. He shared:
“At the end of the day, coming home to that one person that you know has your back, there’s no better feeling.”
SCOTT ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A DAD
From the onset, Scott knew he wanted to be a father. When filming his shows, he constantly interacted and got along well with kids and loved the notion of using his beliefs to shape the minds of little ones. If only he had his own!
