Sabrina has worked as a teacher at a catholic school in Ontario, Canada for years, and while much of her career-life is kept private, Scott has been open about how he admires her dedication to her work.

Scott went on to share that it’s up to him to spoil her every now and then “since she rarely takes time for herself.”

She and Scott married in 2008

Scott and Sabrina tied the knot in June, 2008 in Vaughn, Ontario, ona day that he once described in a post on X (formerly Twitter) as “incredible”with “so many amazing memories.”

Reflecting on 15 years of marriagein 2023, Scott wrote on Facebook, “Has anything changed in 15 years? Well… Yes. And I couldn’t be happier. Not to brag, but this is the best investment I’ve ever made! Happy 15th babe!”

Prior to having kids, Scott and Sabrina enjoyed date nights which included dinner and drinks.

Speaking about Sabrina’s unwavering support for him, Scott penned: “I need to be clear that while I love to give Sabrina great gifts, she’s done a million amazing things for me too. She has always supported everything I’ve done with my career, but one thing she was never interested in was joining me on camera. But when the idea forMoving the McGillivrayscame along, I knew it could never happen without her. Despite her hesitations, she agreed, because she knew how important it was to me. It’s not an easy thing to allow strangers into your home and to put yourself out there, but she did it for me. How awesome is that?”

Scott also explained that he doesn’t wait until a special occasion to celebrate life with his wife.

“You know, as much fun as it is to be romantic on Valentine’s Day, my favourite thing to do is sit back any night of the week after the kids have gone to sleep and have a glass of wine with my wife,” he wrote. “It’s the perfect time to reconnect, let go of the stress of the day, and remind each other why we chose to spend our lives together. I’m a very lucky guy, and I’m reminded of it each and every day.”

She and Scott share two daughters

Duringa 2022 podcast interview, Scott opened up about how being a father changed his mindset.

“I find as a parent, I’m living in the future a lot,” he shared. “I’m always thinking down the road, I’m always trying to think, ‘am I setting them up for success?’ ”

“Valentine’s Day used to be all about romance, but since our two little girls have entered the scene things have changed a bit,” he wrote. “Champagne flutes may have been replaced with juice boxes, but I still like to make it a special night. So every year on February 14th I take all three of my girls on a “date.” We dress up and go to a nice restaurant and I treat them to whatever they want.”

He added: “As my daughters grow up I hope they’ll remember that this is how they deserve to be treated.”

In September 2016, Scott wrote a heartful post about what an amazing mom Sabrina is.

“Not only is she insanely beautiful, Sabrina’s also the most incredible mother & a saint of a wife,”he captioned a Facebook post. “Thank you for being especially patient & loving this year as we make big moves (pun intended) towards our bright future.”

Sabrina joined her husband on the reality showMoving the McGillivraysin 2016, which followed the couple and their children as they built their dream home together. “With Scott’s toughest and most demanding clients yet — his own family — he’s under pressure to deliver big results,”a synopsis for the show on Scott’s website teased.

In the show, Sabrina’s sewing skills were highlighted, even surprising her own husband that she was the talent behind their living room throw pillows.

Scott previously dished on Sabrina’s creativity while describing his favorite Halloweens, saying his wife is a great costumer.

“The family that plays together, stays together and we definitely like to play together. Sabrina is the best at making costumes and decorating the house,” he wrote in 2019. “And she really goes all out at Halloween. But to be honest, sometimes I think Layla’s just humouring us.”

Sabrina, along with Scott, uses her creativity for good, having partnered with Habitat for Humanity to help build a home for local, hard-working families.

She’s a dancer

“Little did we know at the time that the video of our wedding dance would end up on YouTube and get hundreds of thousands of views!”he added of the viral videoin which the couple danced to Edwin McCain’s “I Could Not Ask for More.”

InSabrina’s Instagram bio, she also refers to herself as a “dance mom,” seemingly hinting that at least one of their daughters has followed in her footsteps.
