The couple will share their new Los Angeles property, which they closed on in June 2020 and have been renovating ever since, with Deschanel’s two kids — son Charlie Wolf, 4, and daughter Elsie Otter, 6 — whom she shares with her ex-husband,Jacob Pechenik.
“Eight months into our relationship, I already knew Zooey was the yin to my yang, the PB to my J. We were on parallel paths toward the happiness we’d been seeking our whole lives,” Jonathan wrote ina heartfelt personal essayfor issue No. 9 ofReveal, which hit newsstands earlier this month.
The purchase means that Jonathan, who is originally from Western Canada, moved from his longtimefamily compound in Las Vegas.
“What I found out very early on is that Zooey loves Los Angeles. Like,love-loves it. She’s a native Angeleno, her parents still live in her childhood home, the whole deal,” he explained. “I recall thinking,Okay, okay…give me the sales pitch, skeptically, not thinking of myself as an ‘L.A. guy.’ But the more she showed meherLos Angeles — the parks she went to growing up, the neighborhoods where she made memories with her closest friends — the more I found myself in love with an Angeleno, and with L.A., too.”

Though the pandemic and other surprises have caused renovations to take longer than planned, the couple is unfazed and looking forward.
“We have each other, and we have time — the rest of our lives together in this house,” Jonathan wrote. “Ourhouse. Our dream home, where we’ll see the kids grow up laughing and adventuring in the yard, where we’ll play host to friends and family.”
