According to People, Scott proposed on a family trip to Scotland after four years of dating Instagram
According to People, Scott proposed on a family trip to Scotland and Deschanel's two children, daughter Elsie, eight, and son Charlie, six, were there for the proposal.
The publication reports that Scott has Scottish heritage.
The smitten couple first met in August 2019 while filming an episode of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke.
At the time, she had secretly separated from her husband and father of her children, Jacob Pechenik.
Not long after the pair announced their split, she and Scott went public with their romance.

"After much discussion and a long period of contemplation we have decided we are better off as friends, business partners and co-parents rather than life partners," she and Pechenik said in a statement.
"We remain committed to our business, our values and most of all our children. Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time."
Deschanel and Pechenik filed for divorce in October 2019 and it was finalised in June 2020.
She was previously married to Deathcab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, but the pair filed for divorce in 2012 after two years of marriage.
