Zooey Deschanel Sister: What Do We Know About The Actress?
Zooey Deschanel has charmed viewers with her appearances in films like (500) Days of Summer as well as her starring role as Jess in the TV comedy New Girl.
However, her talents extend further than acting, and the Hollywood star is also a keen musician.
But what else do we know about Zooey? Well, though the actress is quite private, there’s quite a lot to learn about her. For example, Zooey Deschanel’s sister is also quite famous…
Who is Zooey Deschanel’s Sister?
In case you didn’t know, Zooey Deschanel’s younger sister is actually Emily Deschanel. Does she look familiar? That’s because Emily Deschanel is also a famous actress.
Both sisters actually studied acting when they were younger, though Zooey dropped out of Northwestern University in order to pursue her career. Emily, meanwhile, graduated with a degree in Theater from Boston University.
Zooey Deschanel’s sister is probably best known for her work on the Fox crime show Bones. Emily Deschanel portrayed Dr Temperance Brenna (the eponymous ‘Bones’) for 12 seasons. It ran from 2005 to 2017.

It’s unsurprising that Zooey Deschanel and her sister both went into showbusiness. Their mother is Mary Jo Deschanel, an actress, and their father, Caleb Deschanel, is a cinematographer and director.
The Deschanel sisters had to wait until 2009 to actually work together, though. That year, Zooey Deschanel guest-starred in a Christmas episode of Bones, playing a cousin of her sister’s character, Temperance.

She’s gained further fame by playing quirky teacher Jess Day in the comedy New Girl. Her performance in the comedy also got her nominated for plenty of awards.

Actually, Zooey’s net worth is about $25 million – not bad for an actress who is just 42 years old.
You might be surprised to know, though, that Zooey Deschanel’s sister Emily, on the other hand, has a net worth of about $30 million.
She earned most of this money from her starring role on Bones, but she also earned quite a bit in a real-life lawsuit. Emily and her co-star sued Fox for “intentional fraud and malice” and ended up receiving a $179 million payout.
After Bones ended in 2017, Emily stayed busy. She has voiced a character in the Netflix animated series Bojack Horseman, and will also star in the upcoming thriller Devil in Ohio.
Who Is Zooey Dating?
Zooey Deschanel’s net worth has crept up a little bit more since the announcement of her new boyfriend. The actress is now dating Jonathan Scott, known for starring in the TV show Property Brothers with his twin brother Drew.
The pair met when they filmed an episode of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Zooey Deschanel and her sister Emily starred alongside Jonathan and Drew as they drove around LA and sang along to tunes.
According to Jonathan, he was attracted to Zooey straight away – but the producers edited out a lot of his flirting from the final video.
He said: “From the first moment she walked over to say hello, she had a bounce in her step and an energy about her that made me immediately take notice.”

Rumours surrounded them for months afterwards, and they all ended up being true. Zooey officially confirmed her new relationship in an Instagram post in October 2019.
The PDAs progressed, and by New Year’s Eve Jonathan was posting loved-up pictures of the pair together with the caption: “Once in a lifetime you meet someone who changes everything.” Aw!
They’ve been inseparable since then, and now they’re making another big leap – buying a house together. Jonathan revealed last December that they’ve been renovating a house since 2020, making it ready for their family, which includes Zooey’s two children from a previous marriage: Elsie Otter, 5, and Charlie Wolf, 4.
