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.
The Three Brothers
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.
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.
In the Tattoo Parlor
JD has quite a few tattoos to the point he’s not even sure how many he has in total. On the radio show, Off Topic With The Scott Brothers that aired on the radio November 24, 2013, JD said that he loves the art of tattoos and wasn’t sure how much ink he had done, but guessed around 10 or 11 if he had to say.
On the episode, they had a tattoo removal specialist to talk about “thinking before you ink,” and although JD is a big fan of the art, he did reveal that the first tattoo - a compass he got at the age of 17 in Mexico-and said that while likes the design, he would consider removing it because it doesn’t fit with his other tattoos. Ever since his first, he has added several larger pieces, like a family coat of arms, bands on his arms and more.
His Own HGTV Web Series
Jonathan and Drew aren’t the only Scott brother’s you will see on HGTV these days. Every once in a blue moon, JD makes an appearance with this brothers, but not many people know he did an online series with other celebrities called Can I Come In: Las Vegas where he led the audience through some of the most interesting homes in his home city.
In one, he checks out Lonnie Hammargren’s house, theme park and museum called Catillo del Sol. Another episode has him introducing us to a small community of homes. Although JD is fun and entertaining in these videos, they weren’t heavily promoted.
