Drew Scott’s marriage to Linda Phan has been an inspiration for many who admire their bond. J.D. Scott, Drew’s brother, noted in an interview with Us Weekly in 2019 that they exemplify a balance between work and personal life. After a decade of partnership, their commitment is clear, though their journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing, especially in the beginning.
Drew’s initial attempt to impress Phan was surprisingly simple—he inquired about the water she was drinking, an unusual method for starting a romantic connection. Remarkably, Phan was charmed despite the awkwardness and gave him her number. Their first date was also a bit bumpy when Drew uninvitedly joined Phan and her friends, yet their shared humor continued to strengthen their bond.
Phan’s affection for Drew was evident as she decided to move in with both him and his brother, Jonathan Scott, which worked out well since they were all invested in their professional endeavors. Eventually, they bought a house together, which has transformed from a once-idyllic setting into a delightful chaos with children. Although their relationship is often regarded as ideal, some peculiarities are notable.
Drew Scott’s Unique Pickup Line
Drew Scott first laid eyes on Linda Phan at Toronto Fashion Week in March 2010, where she was dressed humorously as the fashion police, complete with a badge. He was captivated by her and wanted to initiate a conversation but struggled with the approach. His bold method involved asking her about her water while backstage, which Phan recounted, saying it took her by surprise.
Although Drew found his pickup line quirky, it surprisingly worked, and they discovered shared humor that further connected them. This became evident when Phan effortlessly fit into the lighthearted banter during their first gathering with Drew’s twin brother and their childhood friend Pedro. Upon witnessing Phan deliver a punchline, Jonathan Scott remarked, “Who is this girl? She’s a keeper,” leading Drew to realize he had fallen for her.
Linda Phan’s Take on Their First Date
Linda Phan described her first outing with Drew as enjoyable but somewhat uncomfortable. They started with sushi and hot chocolate, but as she planned to leave for a gathering with friends, Drew insisted on joining her, leading to what she called “the longest first date ever.” While initially feeling cornered, Linda found herself charmed when Drew showcased his singing talent.
His karaoke performance of The Lonely Island’s “I’m on a Boat” captivated her, cementing her interest. Despite the unconventional circumstances of their long first date, their second outing proved less glamorous. Drew humorously recounted in their podcast “At Home with Linda and Drew Scott” that he was there to hold Linda’s hair when she got sick at a bachelorette party in Las Vegas.
