“My heart is broken.” These poignant words from Drew Scott encapsulate the profound grief he is experiencing following the death of his mother-in-law, Habu, announced on February 5, 2026. The loss has not only affected Drew but also his wife, Linda Phan, and their two children, Parker and Piper, who are still young and learning to navigate the complexities of life and loss.
Drew Scott and Linda Phan, who tied the knot on May 4, 2018, have built a life together since they first met at Toronto Fashion Week in 2010. Their family expanded with the birth of their son Parker in May 2022 and daughter Piper on May 21, 2024. The couple’s journey has been filled with joy and milestones, but the recent tragedy has cast a shadow over their family dynamic.
In the wake of Habu’s passing, Drew expressed feelings of helplessness in comforting Linda and her family. This emotional turmoil is compounded by the fact that Habu was a significant figure in their lives, providing love and support as they raised their children. Jonathan Scott, Drew’s brother, also shared his sentiments, stating, “What a loving soul through and through.” This reflects the deep affection and respect the family held for Habu, highlighting the impact of her absence.
As the family grapples with this loss, the support from friends and the public has been overwhelming. Viola Davis reached out with a heartfelt message, saying, “So very sorry. ❤️❤️” Similarly, Egypt Sherrod expressed her condolences, stating, “Oh no I am so very sorry for your loss. Please give Linda my love.” Such expressions of sympathy underscore the community’s support during this difficult time.
While the family mourns, they also reflect on the memories and lessons imparted by Habu. The bond between grandparents and grandchildren is irreplaceable, and the children will undoubtedly feel the void left by her absence. As they grow, Drew and Linda will have the challenging task of helping Parker and Piper understand and cope with this loss.
Looking ahead, the Scott family will likely lean on each other for strength as they navigate this challenging period. The completion of their Madison Park Bungalow in November 2023 was a significant milestone, but now it serves as a bittersweet reminder of the family gatherings and moments that will be different without Habu. The home, once filled with laughter and love, will now also carry the weight of their grief.
As they move forward, Drew Scott and Linda Phan will continue to honor Habu’s memory, ensuring that her legacy of love and support lives on in their children. The journey of healing will take time, but with the support of family and friends, they will find a way to cherish the memories while coping with their loss.
