The National Enquirer ran an article earlier this year titled “Zooey’s Lust For Jonathan Won’t Last!” The tabloid claimed that “pals” of Zooey Deschanel didn’t believe her “hot romance” with Jonathan Scott would last, with one source insisting, “She’s only interested in him for booty calls and raising her profile!”
She’s a love ‘em and leave ‘em girl!
The tabloid then needlessly pointed out that Deschanel had already gone through “two failed marriages” to Death Cab for Cutie frontman Benjamin Gibbard, whom she divorced in 2012, and producer Jacob Pechenik, with whom she shares two children. Deschanel and Pechenik separated in 2019, shortly before the actress met Scott.
An insider told the tabloid, “When Zooey met Jonathan, it was definitely LUST AT FIRST SIGHT! Within 24 hours, they were hot and heavy and stealing away to hotels every chance they could get.” But, the source warned, after “fickle” Deschanel gets over her “infatuation,” and after her “career perks up,” she’ll leave Scott high and dry.
The tabloid, quoting its own reporting, insisted that Scott’s twin brother, Drew Scott, had “already warned him to pump the brakes” with Deschanel over fears the actress would hurt him.
It’s clear that the Enquirer had no idea what it was talking about. How could Deschanel be a “love ‘em and leave ‘em girl” when she was previously married two times? Though both marriages ended (not failed), it’s clear that Deschanel is absolutely willing to commit to a relationship with someone she loves.
