Love 500 Days of Summer? Well, Jonathan Scott is celebrating the past 365 days with Zooey Deschanel.

The HGTV host, 44, marked the actress' 43rd birthday on Jan. 17 with a sweet tribute on Instagram, posting a photo montage of the couple traveling, walking red carpets, enjoying the holidays and just hanging out together.

"You just keep getting even better," he captioned the post. "Happy Birthday Zooey." 

Needless to say, Zooey appreciated the gesture, commenting, "I'm the luckiest girl!"

This wasn't the only occasion the pair celebrated recently. Back in August, the Property Brothers star and the New Girl alum hit their third dating anniversary

"I got the best one," she wrote on Instagram at the time, "most wonderful three years ever."

Zooey met Jonathan in 2019 while they were filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke with his twin brother and HGTV co-host Drew Scott.

"I went to meet them and I was like, 'I can't believe he's so nice,'" she recalled on an October episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. "He's just the nicest person. People just aren't that nice generally."

The rest as they say is history. Zooey and Jonathan made their red carpet debut as a couple later that year and fans have continued to watch them support each other in their careers, go on dates, spend time with family and renovate a home together.

Jonathan has also formed a close bond with Zooey's two kids Elsie, 7, and Charlie, 5, whom she shares with her ex-husband Jacob Pechenik.

"The first time I realized [we had a connection] ... our youngest came back from school with a picture that he had drawn, and in the picture, he has Mommy and Daddy and Jonathan and his sister and our puppies," the home design expert told Today earlier this month. "He had drawn this whole picture. This is his happy family."

"I think that was when I was like, that's pretty sweet, because the way we think of it is, he has the benefit of a 'bonus dad,'" he added. "How cool is that? You have more people that love you."
