Timeline of Jonathan Scott’s Family Tragedy: from the Heartbreaking News to Now
By Elena Rostova
The news arrived without warning. Linda Phan’s mother passed away suddenly, leaving Drew Scott, Linda, and their young children reeling from the void left behind. For Drew, who has worked side by side with his wife across multiple business and media ventures since their 2018 wedding, navigating her immense grief required an immediate recalibration of their daily priorities.
Speaking candidly in spring 2026, Drew described the loss as an earth-shattering moment for Linda and her siblings. The family immediately pulled together, establishing daily rituals designed to comfort Linda and keep her mother’s presence alive for the grandchildren. Drew explained that honoring her legacy was not about a single grand gesture, but about continuous, quiet remembrances embedded into home routines, cooking family recipes, and sharing stories that anchor the kids in their grandmother’s heritage.
Throughout this period, Jonathan Scott took an active role behind the scenes. When a personal crisis strikes one brother, the other consistently steps in to manage the broader machinery of the Scott Brothers Global enterprise. Jonathan shouldered additional production obligations and coordinated scheduling buffers so Drew and Linda could step away from the cameras and mourn in private.
