Here's How Much Zooey Deschanel Is Really Worth
Zooey Deschanel has been a staple on our screens since the 2000s, with roles in films like "500 Days of Summer," "Yes Man," "Elf," "The Happening," and TV's "New Girl" (via IMDb).

While Deschanel is playing matchmaker on screen, she is happily in love with "Property Brothers" star Jonathan Scott. "I just think Jonathan is just the nicest person in the world," Deschanel said in an interview with Today. "So, I'm just really lucky. I just try to be as nice back as, you know, he is. And it works." The couple met in 2019 when the Scott twins competed against the Deschanel sisters in "Carpool Karaoke," per House Beautiful.
Previously, Deschanel was married to Death Cab for Cutie's vocalist Ben Gibbard from 2009 to 2012 and film producer Jacob Pechenik from 2015 to 2020, although the couple announced their split in 2019 (via Nine.com).
