The touching tribute, which featured photos of Scott and Deschanel attending red carpet events together and sharing a kiss, was set to A-Wall's 2019 hit song "Loverboy." Deschanel was every bit the blushing girlfriend, commenting, "🥰🥰 I'm the luckiest girl!"
Scott's twin brother Drew jumped on the Zooey love train, posting his own Instagram tribute to the birthday girl that read, "Happy bday to the woman who makes my brother so happy. Thanks for being an amazing human, @zooeydeschanel ☺️❤️."
Scott and Deschanel have been dating for over three years. The pair first met in 2019 while filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke with their respective siblings, Drew Scott and actress Emily Deschanel (best known for fronting the TV series Bones from 2005 to 2017).

Jonathan Scott would go on to describe his first encounter with Deschanel as a true love-at-first-sight fairytale.
"We were shooting Carpool Karaoke and there was chemistry right away," Scott gushed to PEOPLE in 2020, adding that he found a fellow hopeless romantic in Deschanel. "We literally make each other laugh nonstop. I have never been in a relationship where my partner is as romantic, if not more romantic, as I am. I'm usually the one who carries the romantic load."
Deschanel is mom to two kids, Elsie (7) and Charlie (5), whom she shares with film producer ex-husband Jacob Pechenik. In an Instagram post from June 2022, Deschanel honored both Scott and Pechenik for their co-parenting prowess, posting a photo of the two men with her children. She captioned the blended-family image, "So thankful my kids have these two awesome guys in their lives."
