In a snippet of a specialFather’s Dayinterviewon their website shared with PEOPLE, theProperty Brothersstar said it was a “struggle” determining what his stepkids would call him.
“They have their dad and they have a great relationship with him, so he’s daddy. I couldn’t say papa because that’s what they call their grandpa — though at one point we tried to change the narrative and get them to call me papa instead, but they weren’t having it,” he explained.
“Eventually, they came up with ‘my Jonathan,’ So, whenever they tell a story they say, ‘There’s daddy, there’s mommy, and he’s my Jonathan.'”
“The kids’ dad is a great dad. We have an amazing relationship there as well,” Scott told ET of Pechenik. “I love it when the kids draw photos. They draw Mommy and Daddy and Jonathan. It’s really sweet.”
