Zooey Deschanel Details Coordinated Co-Parenting With Ex and Partner

She says open communication keeps the children secure.

Overview

  • On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Deschanel said she, ex-husband Jacob Pechenik, and partner Jonathan Scott use a shared group chat to manage parenting.
  • She emphasized that her children thrive when they see the adults care for one another, calling Pechenik a great father she intends to support.
  • Deschanel said the three regularly spend time together, handle childcare jointly, and have even taken trips as a family unit.
  • She and Pechenik agreed that any new romantic partners meet the adults first before being introduced to the children.
  • She noted that Scott, whom she met in 2019, has become a steady presence for the kids and included them in his proposal in Scotland.
