There is no bad blood between Zooey Deschanel and her ex-husband Jacob Pechenik. "It's awesome because my kids' dad is a great dad," Deschanel, 45, said during an interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast on Wednesday, December 17. "I always want to support him as a parent." Deschanel was married to Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard from 2009 to 2011. She moved on with Pechenik, whom she wed in 2015. The former couple welcomed daughter Elise, 10, and son Charlie, 8, throughout their marriage, which ended in 2020.
