Zooey Deschanel took to social media on Tuesday to share a loving tribute to her fiancé, Jonathan Scott, in celebration of his 48th birthday.

The New Girl actress posted a series of candid photographs on her Instagram handle, featuring the couple in various states of domestic bliss and vacation relaxation.

"Happy Birthday jonathanscott, can't wait to celebrate you. I'm truly so lucky," Deschanel captioned the post, which quickly garnered warm wishes from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

The photo carousel included several intimate selfies of the pair, notably two images taken during a scenic boat ride while on holiday.

In one particularly romantic shot, the couple is seen sharing a kiss against a coastal backdrop. This birthday milestone comes as the couple nears the three-year mark of their engagement, having first announced their plans to wed in August 2023 following a proposal in Scotland.

Despite their high-profile status, the duo has remained relatively private about the specifics of their upcoming nuptials.

In recent interviews, Scott has noted that the couple is taking a relaxed approach to wedding planning. The Property Brothers star mentioned that their current focus is largely centred on their family life and managing the "social lives" of Deschanel’s two children, Elsie and Charlie.

Scott highlighted that while they have many ideas for their "big day," they have prioritised their roles as parents and "chauffeurs" to the kids over immediate ceremony arrangements.

The birthday celebration serves as a brief pause for the busy couple, who first met while filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke back in 2019.
