The reality TV star popped the question to the actress, 43, on a family trip to Scotland, according to an exclusive report by People.
The pair could be seen standing in front of a stone castle as the New Girl star held up her hand adorned with a dazzling ring set with pink and purple stones in a flower-cut design.
To make the moment even more special, Zooey’s two children — daughter Elsie, eight, and son Charlie, six — reportedly played a role in the engagement.
People reported that proposing in Scotland was special meaning for Jonathan as he has consistently interwove his heritage into pivotal experiences throughout his life.
Jonathan and his identical twin brother Drew — who is also his co-star on HGTV’s Property Brothers — both wore traditional kilts for the latter’s wedding in 2018.
Their father emigrated from Scotland to Canada — where the twin brothers were born and raised — as a teenager.
The post was flooded with many well wishes from fans and celebrities, including Katherine McNamara and Mindy Kaling.
‘CONGRATULATIONS,’ the Arrow alumna wrote in the comments section.
