Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott have announced their engagement after 4 years together. According to People, Scott proposed Sunday during a family trip to Scotland, with Deschanel’s children, daughter Elsie, 8, and son Charlie, 6, partaking in the engagement.

Deschanel, 43, and “Property Brothers” host Scott, 45, shared the happy news on Instagram, posting a selfie with Deschanel holding her hand up to the camera showing off her engagement ring, along with the caption: “Forever starts now!!! ”
