At 47, Property Brothers’ Drew Scott Finally Confirms The Rumors
“I’ll never forget that day,” said Drew Scott, now 47, as he finally addressed a long-standing rumor that has followed him and his brother Jonathan for years.
The *Property Brothers* star, known for his charismatic presence, polished renovations, and seemingly unshakable bond with his twin, has revealed a truth that fans have speculated about but never confirmed—until now.
For over a decade, the Scott brothers have built an empire in home renovation and real estate television, captivating millions of viewers with their creativity, humor, and brotherly chemistry.
Yet, behind the scenes, Drew says there was a moment in his life that nearly changed everything.
A moment he kept private. A moment he’s only now ready to share.
The rumor in question? That Drew once considered stepping away from the show permanently—and that it nearly tore apart the dynamic that made *Property Brothers* a household name.
“It was during our fifth season,” Drew revealed in a recent interview. “We were working non-stop. Flights, filming, renovations, appearances. I barely saw my wife, and Jonathan and I were both completely burnt out. But I was the one who started to break.”
According to Drew, the pressure of maintaining their growing brand, combined with personal exhaustion and emotional stress, led him to a breaking point.
He recalls sitting in a hotel room in New York, watching hours of footage the team had just wrapped, and realizing he no longer recognized himself.
“I didn’t feel joy,” he said. “Not even when we handed over the keys to a newly renovated home. That’s when I knew something was wrong.”
The decision he nearly made was to quit—quietly and permanently. He had even drafted an email to the network, explaining his desire to step away for good and pursue a quieter life, possibly focusing on writing or design consulting off-camera. He never hit send.
What stopped him, Drew says, was a single conversation with Jonathan. “I told him everything. That I was done, that I was exhausted, that I didn’t think I could do it anymore. I expected him to try to convince me otherwise. But he didn’t. He just listened. And then he said, ‘If you leave, I leave too.’ That hit me hard. Because it reminded me that we weren’t just building a brand. We were building it together.”
The brothers took a brief hiatus, which at the time was disguised as a “seasonal break.” But behind the scenes, it was a crucial pause that allowed them to reassess their priorities, restructure their production schedule, and create better boundaries between work and personal life.
Drew now looks back on that period not with regret, but with gratitude. “It saved my career. It saved our relationship. And honestly, it saved my sense of purpose. I realized I wasn’t tired of *Property Brothers*. I was tired of the version of myself I had become while trying to please everyone else.”
This revelation has left fans both stunned and supportive. Many took to social media to share how much Drew and Jonathan’s work has inspired them, while also expressing admiration for Drew’s honesty and vulnerability.
Drew also revealed that the decision to go public with the story now was intentional. “I think people assume if you’re on TV and things look perfect, then life must be perfect. But it’s not. And I think it’s important to talk about that, especially as we get older. We change. Our priorities change. And that’s okay.”
In recent years, Drew has leaned more into family life. He married his longtime partner, Linda Phan, in 2018, and the couple welcomed their first child in 2022.
Fatherhood, he says, has reshaped his worldview entirely. “When you have a child, suddenly the show isn’t the most important thing in your life anymore. That clarity helped me more than any break ever could.”
As for the future of *Property Brothers*, Drew says he and Jonathan are more committed than ever—but on their own terms.
They’ve expanded into more meaningful projects, focused on sustainability, mental health awareness, and using their platform for good.
“I’ll never forget that day I almost walked away,” Drew said. “But I’m glad I didn’t. Because everything we’ve built since then has been even more fulfilling—and more real—than I could’ve imagined.”
