Inside Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good’s Road to Engagement

As I delve into this captivating narrative, I can’t help but marvel at the tumultuous yet resilient journey of these two individuals. Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin have navigated the stormy seas of love and personal growth with unwavering determination, showcasing an admirable testament to human spirit and resilience.


Meagan Good is pretty, uh, good at keeping details of Jonathan Majors’ proposal close to the heart.

Or should we say proposals?

As an overjoyed admirer, I can’t help but spill the beans: we presented not one, but two heartfelt proposals! During our enchanting encounter at the EBONY Power 100 gala in LA on November 17th, with Francesca Amiker of TopMob News as our captivated audience, I found myself lost in thoughts about the second proposal. Yes, we’ve decided to keep it a secret for now. The surprise was beyond my wildest dreams, and I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Are you serious, babe?” Fast forward some months later, and another magical moment unfolded, leaving me utterly smitten!

Regarding why the Lovecraft Country alum proposed marriage twice, he explained, “Always go big or go home.

The couple’s public announcement of their engagement, which occurred as Good displayed her radiant yellow diamond ring on the red carpet with Majors, marked a significant return to their origins since they first crossed paths at that very event two years earlier.

The bride-to-be mentioned, “We met at the EBONY Power 100 event, and it was in the shared restroom.

Moreover, whereas Good had landed the role in “Love by the 10th Date,” her bond with Majors developed more swiftly than that timeframe suggests.

In my own words, “There was an immediate connection, yet I wasn’t quite ready for it at the time,” I shared with People magazine in July, having just turned 43 and freshly divorced from film producer DeVon Franklin three months prior to our encounter at the October event. “Four months later, we met again, and I felt an undeniable pull, thinking ‘This is going to happen. This is going to happen.’ And it did.

Reports spread that Good and Majors were dating in May 2023.

As events unfolded, it wasn’t a particular instant when I chose to reveal our relationship, she explained further. Instead, it was the point where I acknowledged, ‘I see you.’ And since we are destined to experience this journey together, that’s simply what will transpire, and I must be at peace with that choice or not.

In December 2023, following a court trial where Good stood with him as a show of solidarity, Majors was declared guilty on one count of third-degree assault and another count of second-degree harassment. However, he was acquitted on another third-degree assault charge and a charge of aggravated harassment. Four months later, he received a sentence for a 52-week counseling program and a fine of $250.

As Good progressed in their relationship, she anticipated that others might have different views.

She shared with People that he had attempted to persuade her against being with him, to which she responded emphatically, “That’s simply not an option.” Later, she mentioned, “To be truthful, the one thing that has made me a bit more cautious lately is the potential criticism – especially when Jonathan and I are on the red carpet. I don’t think it bothers me, but there’s a part of me that wants to shield him because I understand our relationship intimately.

Approximately three months following the finalization of Meagan Good’s divorce with producer DeVon Franklin, she attended the 2022 EBONY Power 100 gala. It was at this event that she encountered her future fiancé, Jonathan Majors. In an interview with Francesca Amiker from TopMob News two years later, Good revealed, “We met in the bathroom at the EBONY Power 100,” and added, “in a unisex bathroom.” While Good confessed that she wasn’t particularly ready to start dating again, she acknowledged a strong immediate connection with Majors. “Then we ran into each other again about four months later,” she said, “and I knew it was going to happen. It was going to happen, and it did.

It wasn’t until May 2023 that reports surfaced saying they were dating.

In June 2023, Majors attended a court appearance, with an August trial scheduled thereafter. Good remained supportive, holding his hand as they exited the courtroom following the hearing.

During the trial, which was initially set for August 2023 but later moved to November of that year, Cousin Skeeter alum remained supportive of Lovecraft Country actor Majors. Majors pleaded not guilty to his charges.

In December 2023, Majors was convicted on charges of Assault in the Third Degree and Harassment in the Second Degree. However, he was acquitted of another charge of Assault in the Third Degree and a charge of Aggravated Harassment.

In a January 2024 interview with ABC News, the actor from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania who was recently let go by Marvel after the verdict expressed his shock and fear. He exclaimed, “I can’t believe it! With all the evidence presented, both by the prosecution and our team, how is this possible?” The actor also emphasized that he has never struck a woman in his life.

In March 2024, the duo first appeared as a couple on the red carpet at the African American Film Critics Association Special Achievement Awards luncheon in Los Angeles. During an interview with TopMob News at the NAACP Awards later that month, Good publicly acknowledged Majors as his partner and confirmed they were in love. According to TopMob, Majors stated, “She supports me, I support her.

Three months following my hero’s trial verdict, he was handed a 52-week counseling regimen and slapped with a $250 fee. Once more, my heart swelled with admiration as she stood by his side, guiding him towards the courtroom.

At the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, as Majors received the Perseverance Award, he expressed his deep affection and gratitude towards Good while tearing up. In a video posted by Chris Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter, Majors stated, “I love you more than any limit, with all my strength, with every fiber of my heart.” He also reminisced about how the star from Harlem had supported him countless times during difficult nights.

And Good has sent the love right back.

“The support that we’ve been able to give each other, the pouring into each other, the honest conversations, the love, the respect, just the care and the thoughtfulness,” she said on a July 2024 episode of Today when asked how they’ve been able to navigate their relationship, “it’s been just really wonderful.”

And while she said “every friend advised” her to wait until Majors’ court case was over to begin a relationship, the Shazam! actress chose to follow her heart.

What I’m certain of is that when I trust my inner self, have faith in God, seek His guidance, and follow my own path, I can always look at myself and say, ‘Yes, I’m satisfied with that,'” she emphasized. “Regardless of what life throws at me, I maintain peace and harmony within.

Two years since their initial encounter, Good unveiled her engagement to Majors by showing off her ring at the 2024 Ebony Power 100 Awards.
