14 Things You Didn't Know About Linda Phan
Property Brothers star Drew Scott would probably agree with the sentiment "behind every great man there's a great woman" thanks to his wife, Linda Phan. Although fans have gotten a closer look into their relationship on his HGTV show in the past few years, there's so much more to Linda besides being Drew's better half. Ahead of the couple's TLC wedding special, Drew and Linda Say I Do, on June 2, here's everything you need to know about Linda Phan.
She has a big family.
In addition to her mom and dad, Linda, age 33, has three older sisters and a younger brother. And she seems pretty close to her siblings: Her sisters helped pick out her two gorgeous Claire Pettibone gowns and stood beside their little sis as bridesmaids. "[Linda] looked so beautiful, stunning. It was a fairytale dream come true," her sister April Phan told People. "Her sweet sweet smile melted everyone's hearts."
She's more than a foot shorter than Drew...
Pint-sized Linda is reportedly just 5 feet, 2 inches tall, which is much shorter than her husband's towering 6-foot, four-inch frame. The height difference does make for some cute photos!
...and quite a bit younger, too.
Age is just a number for these two lovebirds. Drew just celebrated his 40th birthday on April 28, and Linda turned 33 a few days before on April 22.
Linda met Drew in his motherland.
The future Mr. and Mrs. met in 2010 at Toronto Fashion Week where Linda was dressed up as the "fashion police." "She was wearing a big cop badge and giving out tickets for 'bad fashion,'" Drew told People. We wonder if she gave Drew a ticket!
Linda and Drew currently call Los Angeles home.
After living in Las Vegas for several years (with Drew's twin brother, Jonathan), the duo bought their first house together-and revealed they'd be documenting the home renovations on a new show titled Property Brothers at Home: Drew's Honeymoon House. The series premiered in November 2017, and fans got a personal look into Drew and Linda's relationship and their new digs.
She's a part of the Scott family and the Scott family business.
Although they were just married in May, Linda has been working for Scott Brothers Entertainment for several years. She now serves as the creative director, and though it seems Linda is pretty light-hearted, she does take her job very seriously. Drew once told Your Tango that he and his wife are both "workaholics." "We love what we do and that we can work side by side," he told the site.
Her first job was at a movie theater.
Linda's career has come a long way; she started out as a barista at a movie theater. On the first day, Linda had to watch all the trailers that played before every single movie-but Linda didn't mind. "I love movie trailers, though, so I thought 'this is the best job ever!'' she told HGTV Canada.
She has a surprising secret skill.
When asked by HGTV Canada about her hidden talent, Linda replied, "I can beat your in Mario Kart or Tetris." Game on, Linda!
Linda loves pizza.
A girl after our own hearts, Linda loves to indulge in some good old pizza pie. In fact, one of the reasons the couple decided on an Italian destination wedding was because of the delicious food."We're looking at somewhere where we can chow down on pizza, pasta, and gelato. Those are the requirements," Linda told People. And if you're wondering which toppings Linda takes on her slice, they're a bit more sophisticated than plain old pepperoni. "I love goat cheese, olives, spinach, tomatoes, banana peppers, and pineapple," she said to HGTV Canada.
She loves Dr. Seuss.
Drew's proposal was even inspired by Linda's admiration for the author. HGTV Canada reports that he had a custom cake made with the words "Oh, The Places We'll Go"-a take on Oh, The Places You'll Go.
And she's a die-hard Disney fan.
A true kid at heart, Linda seems to love all things Disney. She told the publication that Walt Disney World is her favorite family vacation, and when asked about her usual karaoke song, she said "'A Whole New World' from Aladdin ... or any Disney song."
Charity work is important to her.
Both Linda and Drew have made giving back a major part of their lives. The newlyweds have dedicated a large portion of their efforts to WE, a charity helping people out of poverty. In lieu of wedding gifts, they asked guests and fans to donate to WE to help provide clean water to 50,000 people in need. Linda also told HGTV Canada that her dream vacation is "any charitable trip."
Crafting is Linda's cardio.
Known for her impressive DIY skills, Linda loves to get crafty-Drew even told People that she's the "crafting queen." She has a crafting space in their home and often posts her handmade treasures on Instagram.
She's ready to become a mom.
First comes love, then comes marriage ... Drew and Linda have been open about the next step in their lives: children. "We're excited to have kids," Drew told People. "I think Linda and I will be great parents, and we're excited to start that chapter of our lives." While renovating their Los Angeles pad, the couple kept future kids in mind. "We plan on being in it for a long time," Linda told the publication. "I'm willing to give up my craft room for the nursery."
