Sources close to Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik revealed that before the two announced that they were parting ways, they had already been separated for quite some time. They made sure to minimize the noise about their split so as not to affect their kids. “They are both very involved parents,” the insider told People. “They have been separated for several months. They are very private and are excellent parents and love their kids so much and want this to be smooth for them.”
Shortly after they disclosed that they were divorcing, Pechenik assured fans that his split from the “New Girl” star was drama-free — even if it was reported that Deschanel had quickly moved on to date “Property Brothers” star Jonathan Scott. Per Pechenik, he harbors no hard feelings whatsoever.
