Zooey Deschanel's Ex Speaks Out After She Moves On with Jonathan Scott

Zooey Deschanel‘s ex-husband Jacob Pechenik is speaking out after news broke of her new relationship with Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott.

The 47-year-old film producer seems to be doing well, noting that their split was amicable.

“Yeah, everything is amicable and we have two beautiful children together. We’ve been raising them and we’re going to continue to raise them, and take great care of get them…I’m happy,” Jacob told HollywoodLife.

He added that he will continue to work with Zooey on their company, Lettuce Grow, which aims to change America’s food supply chain and educate consumers about where their food comes from.

“[Zooey and I] haven’t had so many differences when it comes to the business, we both know what our strengths and weaknesses are and turn to each other for suggestions or advice on the other person’s expertise,” Jacob explained.

Zooey and Jacob got engaged back in January of 2015, and got married in June later that year. They have two children together: Elsie, 4, and Charlie, 2.
