A recent report has confirmed that Meagan Good is dating actor Jonathan Majors.
An insider spoke to TMZ stating that “the course of the last several weeks, Jonathan and Meagan have gotten close, and the relationship is “fairly new.” What’s more, a witness tells us they were at the Alamo Drafthouse in L.A. last weekend to see a movie … so it’s not like they’re hiding the fact they’re hanging out,” according to the report.
The news comes months after a woman associated with Majors claimed she was domestically abused by the Creed III actor. He was formally charged with assault and harassment, according to New York police.
Following the dispute, the woman, 30, was transported to a local hospital where she was treated for minor injuries to her head and neck. Majors was taken into custody without incident.
The “victim of an altercation with a woman he knows,” Carrie Gordon, a representative for Mr. Majors, and attributed to Priya Chaudhry, wrote in a statement shortly after the incident became public. “Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever.”
On March 25 shortly before noon, the New York Police Department said that officers responded to a call from an apartment near West 22nd Street and Eighth Avenue in Chelsea. Investigators say the 33-year-old actor was involved in a “domestic dispute” with the woman who informed them that he had assaulted her.
The next day, Majors was arraigned on several misdemeanor charges including assault and aggravated harassment, according to a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office. He was granted a limited order of protection and was ordered to be released on his recognizance.
Shortly after the news broke, an Army spokeswoman said that the actor would be removed from two advertisements in which he appeared promoting the U.S. Army’s “Be All You Can Be” campaign.
Many critics deemed the California native was well on his way to becoming a Hollywood A-lister and worthy of a potential Oscar nomination. His most recent work was Creed III, which he starred in with fellow actor Michael B. Jordan.
Meanwhile, Good opened up for the first time since her husband Devon Franklin filed for divorce in December 2021.
In a recent Essence cover story, the 41-year-old actress shared that she feels like she is “in her prime” following the high-profile split and says she’s in a “unique space” to take her career to the next level.
“I can still change people’s minds about me, and I don’t look at that as a bad thing,” Good told Essence in the feature story. “I look at that as a purpose thing.”
She also revealed how “devastated” she felt after getting divorced from what she thought would be her lifelong partner. The couple went their separate ways after 10 years of marriage.
“That was rough because my biggest fear was what happened between my mom and my dad would happen to me, which is you’ve been with your husband for 10 years and you break up,” she said. “I would say, ‘I’m never getting divorced. I’m in it forever, good, bad, whatever it is, I’m never going to give up. You’re my person, I’m your person, that’s it.’”
She continued: “It took me a long time to understand that God didn’t do divorce,” she continued. “DeVon and I both have free will. So, I had to accept that God didn’t lie when he told me that was my husband. That was my husband. But he didn’t say we’d be together forever. God’s word remains true no matter what happens to you and if anything changes, it’s because sometimes life deals you cards you don’t expect or anticipate, but He’ll still bring you through it and He still has an incredible plan for your life.”
She recalls times when she would be ostracized for wearing revealing clothes – some even going as far as to judge her for wearing a Halloween costume.
“For years, I was scared to post Halloween pictures,” she recollected. “I would do it anyway because I’m never going to not do what I want to do. If I feel like it’s good between me and God then I’m going to do it regardless, but it was a lot of trauma because I was brave enough to do it anyway.”
Overall though, she said that her marriage to Franklin was a “beautiful journey” and is excited to transition into the second phase of her life.
“I think people are starting to get who I am,” she concluded. “I think for a long time they didn’t. And I had to get to a place where I stopped caring in order for me to walk into the place where people now are like, ‘No, I actually get her.’”
