Drew Scott Spoke About Waiting to Have Children
Scott and Phan, who began dating in 2010, wed in 2018. They welcomed their first child in 2022.
During a June 2023 interview with Drew & Jonathan magazine, Scott shared he believes it is for the best that he and his wife waited to have children.
“I think it can actually be a good thing to spend a lot of years truly connecting with and getting to know your partner, and that makes us stronger parents,” said Scott during the interview.
He also said that he believes he has “more patience now that [he is] a little older.”
“And on top of that, too, I got to live out all my young goals and young passions. I didn’t give up a part of me to become a parent. There are still things I want to do and I want to be a present parent, but I can be more effective with both because I’m a bit more mature,” said Scott.
Drew Scott Shared How He Realized Linda Phan Was ‘the One’
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly in 2017, Scott opened up about the beginning of his relationship with Phan. He noted that they met at a fashion show where she was working in 2010. According to Scott, he was drawn to his wife’s “energy.”
“She’s beautiful but she had this energy about her that I absolutely loved,” said Scott to the publication.
He also said that he realized Phan was “the one” during their second date. He said they were spending time with “some friends” and his twin brother.
“We had some inside jokes that we were cracking. Something from our childhood, and before I could hit the punchline of what the joke was, Linda said it. And Jonathan looked over at me, I remember him leaning in saying, ‘Who is the girl that’s in our head? How is she finishing these inside jokes from when we were kids?’ That’s when I knew. That she was the one,” said Scott during the Entertainment Weekly interview.
