There is a seven-year age difference between the married couple, with Scott born in 1978 and Phan in 1985. He towers over his pint-sized wife at 6′ 4″ (193cm). Phan is much shorter and measures 5′ 0″ (152 cm). Even wearing high heels, Phan looks petite next to her towering husband.

Linda and Drew’s Relationship Timeline

The couple first met at the 2010 Toronto Fashion Week event. Phan was dressed as the fashion police, handing out tickets for “bad fashion.”

His twin brother, Jonathan, has been dating Zooey Deschanel since 2019, when they met while filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke.

Scott saw her and thought, “She’s attractive.” They exchanged numbers and went on a date several months later, labeling it “the longest first date ever.”

The date began with sushi and a pit stop for hot chocolate. Scott then inadvertently invited himself to a karaoke party that Phan was attending.

Their relationship kindled from there, and Phan soon began working at Scott and his twin brothers’ production company, Scott Brothers Entertainment. She now serves as creative director.

Phan moved in with Drew and his twin brother, Jonathon, in 2012. People asked Phan if it was weird, but she said it was easy.

She told People, “You wake up, and you go to work. It’s nice and really convenient to be able to have meetings with the people you live with.”

Scott popped the question in an elaborate proposal six years after the couple began dating. The pair married in 2018, and 300 guests were in attendance.

In December 2021, the couple shared on their podcast that they were expecting their first child in May 2022. The couple went through two years of fertility treatments and finally received the good news in August that they were expecting.

Scott asked his wife how she was doing after the birth of their child on their podcast At Home.

”Other than pooped, I feel great,” added the new mom. “Very happy that he’s finally here. I’m still in awe and in disbelief. I feel like every step of this pregnancy has taken me time to adjust. And then as soon as I almost adjust, it’s onto the next milestone or the next thing. I feel like I’m always playing catchup with my feelings.”

“It’s this immediate love and this feeling of you need to do everything you can to keep them safe and make them feel loved,” he added of being a parent.
