TheProperty Brothershost, 45, and theNew Girlalum, 43 — who gotengagedin August — tell PEOPLE in this week’s cover story about their relationship, and how they’ve communicated with each other every day, except for one instance when Scott was partaking in a hiking trip.
“We talked or texted every single day, I think, and still have every day since we’ve met, except for the [time] I went up on a packed trip up into the middle of the Rocky Mountains, where there was no cell service,” Scott tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“She thought I was just blowing her off because I didn’t respond for, what, three days or something?” he says of Deschanel, who chimes in with, “Uh-huh.”
Scott says, however, that his soon-to-be bride received “the very first text I sent when I came out of the mountains,” and details: “I had recorded a video of a song she sent me and I showed the Rockies and everything. And then we’ve literally talked every day since.”
