Drew and Jonathan Scott are ready to open up about the trials and tribulations of their lives. From divorce and bankruptcy to marriage and babies, the brothers are not holding anything back in their new memoir, "It Takes Two: Our Story."
"We didn't want to cut anything out of the book," Jonathan told People magazine. "We talk about all the highs and all the lows."
Fans may be surprised to hear that before hitting it big with the HGTV series “Property Brothers,” Jonathan filed for bankruptcy and Drew was $100,000 in debt.
"We had been doing real estate for some time, but I missed my passion -- acting," Drew said. "I went to Vancouver to pursue that, and I was taking acting courses, networking and doing all the things I had to do to make sure that I was being seen."

Within months, Drew had racked up debt. "In the end, that experience was really important because it created the buzz for our first auditions, which got us on TV and made it worth it," he said,
Jonathan had dreams of becoming a magician but lost everything after all of his props and equipment were stolen. “It really turned out to be a game-changer for us, because we realized how any reckless decision you make can leave you vulnerable,” he said.
The twins eventually bounced back and found great success with their HGTV home improvement series. Now, they are entering a new chapter in their lives -- marriage and family. Drew and his fiancee, Linda Phan, are busy planning a destination wedding and recently bought a home in Los Angeles while Jonathan has settled down with his longtime girlfriend, Jacinta Kuznetsov, and apparently, he has baby on the brain.
"Of all the success and everything we've achieved, I think I'll be a great dad," he said. "That's going to be exciting."
