- Jewelry mogul Kendra Scott and her fiancé, country star Zac Brown, are preparing for their first Thanksgiving together since their engagement in July.
- The celebration will unite their blended family of eight children in a massive “Brady Bunch”-style holiday event.
- The feast is set to take place at Scott’s ranch near Austin, where Brown and Scott’s eldest son will take charge of the cooking.
- Approximately 25 friends and family members are expected to attend the blowout holiday gathering.
A Holiday First for the Newly Engaged Couple
As the holiday season approaches, Kendra Scott, 51, and Zac Brown are already deep in planning mode for what promises to be an unforgettable Thanksgiving. The jewelry designer and the country music frontman are set to host their first Thanksgiving as an engaged couple, and they’re doing it in a big way by bringing all their children together for a massive celebration.
The Modern-Day Brady Bunch
With a combined total of eight children, the couple is lovingly embracing their new family dynamic. “We’re going to have about 25 people between friends, and then Zac and I have eight kids between us,” Scott revealed. “We’re like the Brady Bunch — four girls, and four boys.”
The family includes Scott’s sons Cade, 24, Beck, 21, and Grey, 12, alongside Brown’s children: daughters Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 15, and Joni, 14, and son Alexander, 11. This year’s feast, held at Scott’s scenic barn on her ranch near Austin, will mark the beginning of new traditions for the blended family.
A Kitchen Takeover
While Scott is a mogul in the business world, she’s happily taking a backseat in the kitchen. The culinary duties are being left to the experts in the family: her fiancé and her eldest son.
The Head Chefs
“Zac is an incredible cook,” Scott shared. “He’s next level. He’s had a cookbook out. And then my son [Cade], he’s also a chef. He’s been working in restaurants since he was 18.” With these two at the helm, Scott is content with her role. “The two of them take care of the food, and I just take orders, like a sous chef. I’ll cut vegetables, or whatever they tell me to do.”
Balancing Business and Family
The holiday planning comes during an intensely busy period for Scott, who refers to the holiday season as the “Super Bowl” for her billion-dollar jewelry brand. With 25 new stores opened this year, she’s been traveling extensively to visit her retail teams and engage with customers.
Despite her demanding schedule, Scott remains deeply committed to her philanthropic work through the Kendra Scott Foundation. She recently partnered with singer Ciara to donate a “Yellow Library” to a New York school, providing children with access to diverse and relatable stories to promote literacy.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Scott and Brown are proving that even with hectic careers, family comes first, and they are ready to embrace the joyful chaos of their new, big, blended family celebration.
