While all three Scott brothers hail from Vancouver, British Columbia, they now all reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jon, Drew and Drew’s girlfriend share a home near the airport and JD lives on his own in Las Vegas. Drew and Jonathan built a 5400-square foot house in Vegas so that they could be close to JD while they weren’t working and so that when mom and dad come for a visit, all three boys are in one location, making family reunions a sinch. But as the New York Times reported in a piece that only mentions JD in one sentence, Drew is hardly ever at home.
While Jon spends more time at home than his brother, he too has an extremely busy production schedule to keep. When they are all at home, they spend time in the game room made specifically with JD in mind complete with an arcade machine with around 60 classic games. Even so, these impromptu family gatherings are few and far between with JD choosing to do his own thing most of the time.
The Other Brother
Jon and Drew Scott came to fame as the hosts HGTV’s reality show, Property Brother. This has sprung a renovation reality show empire as the brothers have Property Brothers at Home, Buying and Selling and Brother vs. Brother. Depending how big a fan you are, you might have also listened to the hour-long radio show entitled Off Topic with the Scott Brothers.
Tuning into this talk show, one would become familiar with the fact that there is a third brother named JD Scott. He is the elder to his more famous twin little brothers. Although he is associated with the Property Brothers’ empire we never hear a thing from him because he has a ton going on in his life.
He Was Celebrity Impersonator
One of these side ventures happened from 2010 until 2012 when the elder Scott worked as a celebrity impersonator and blackjack dealer, or “Dealertainer” at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. On his LinkedIn profile, it says he performed up to five times a day, ranging from David Bowie or Adam Lambert, all while working his day jo...night...other job as a blackjack dealer. It was a very fun job, but extremely exhausting.
JD had been on stage before, however as a founding member of a sketch comedy group in Canada and is now a founding member of the entertainment company, Dividian Production Group.
He Keeps it Local
“What an honor to be recognized by MyVegas Magazine in their ‘Top 100 Men of Success’ issue. I am extremely proud to call”... posted by JD Scott on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. One reason you may not hear much about JD is that he focuses much of his undivided attention at the local level. In fact, he’s done a lot for Las Vegas, so much that MyVegas Magazine named him one of their Top 100 Men of Success for making a big difference in the community there.
To show his dedication to this end, he contributed in the Kili Climb 4 Kids charity event, where he among other participants went on an 8-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro to promote awareness for child slavery around the planet. He went to areas of Tanzania to participate in programs that empower young women and girls so they can resist exploitation. JD is passionate about helping children and maybe that’s why he stays out of the public so much. He is a passionate altruist in his community and around the world.
His Girlfriend
JD is in a committed relationship with model and professional makeup artist Annalee Belle. Despite JD staying out of much of the limelight, the two have a very strong presence on social media, though not much of it has resulted in much publicity outside of the social media universe. They make YouTube videos together, including their infamous 2015 “Onesie party,” and are very involved with Facebook and Insta.
It’s not difficult to locate bloopers from a New Orleans photo shoot, footage from the Producer’s Ball and many Instagram and FB posts, not to mention JD’s ancient Vine posts). Also, they’ve made speaking engagements at Montserrat Secondary School about making your dream a reality and have a joint Facebook page called Pinky and Proppy.
