The Property Brothers‘ Drew Scott has been waiting a long time for fatherhood. He’s learning quickly that with it comes the good and the, well, stinky. He recently posted a photo of himself with son Parker lying on his chest, describing perfectly the moment when you just know what’s coming.
“RDF (Resting Dad Face). This is the look when you just heard the (poop emoji),” he joked. He and his wife, Linda Phan, welcomed Parker on May 12, their fourth wedding anniversary. While the little guy looks completely calm sleeping in his tiny jammies, Scott, on the other hand, knows what he’s in for as soon as Parker wakes up.
Phan chimed in, commenting, “But the sweetest poop ever,” because everything they do at that age is adorable, even dirty diapers. Scott’s twin brother, Jonathan, also had to comment, writing: “I think being on diaper duty is your true calling.”
Scott announced his son’s birth in a sweet post with his tiny, perfect baby hand wrapped around Scott’s finger. “Our lives are forever changed. Welcome to the world Parker James,” he wrote in May. “Parker decided to come very efficiently on our anniversary. He’s stealing the show. It’s no longer about you and me on our anniversary,” Drew joked on his and Phan’s At Home podcast.
Phan and Scott met during Toronto Fashion Week in 2010 and got married in 2018. The couple has been open about their fertility struggles, sharing their two-year struggle to conceive in an essay for the Scott brothers’ Reveal Magazine.
“It has been an adventure to get here! We know we’re not alone in this experience and that everyone’s is filled with unique challenges along the way,” he added. “…We hope as we grow through this, that even one of you reading this can also feel a little less lonely in whatever path you’re on!”
Scott seems to be entirely appreciative of everything his wife has been through, including her role as a first-time mom. “This is a Linda appreciation post for kicking butt as a new mom,” he wrote earlier this summer.
He’s been open about his new role as well, adding that fatherhood is “amazing” and saying, “Our new baby boy, he’s a healthy baby, he’s adorable.” Poopy diapers and all.
