Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good Officially Tie the Knot
In a surprising turn of events, actors Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good have officially confirmed their marriage. The announcement came during an interview with Sherri Shepherd, where Majors revealed that the ceremony was officiated by his mother, a pastor. This marks the first marriage for Majors, while Good was previously married to DeVon Franklin from 2012 to 2022.
The news has sent ripples through Hollywood, particularly given the controversial circumstances surrounding Majors in the past year. The couple’s relationship has been under intense scrutiny since they first sparked dating rumors in May 2023, shortly after Majors faced accusations of assault.
Majors shared details of the intimate ceremony with Shepherd, explaining that his mother had traveled from Dallas to Los Angeles to attend a screening of his new movie, "Magazine Dreams." It was during this visit that they decided to formalize their union. "We had told her that, ‘Hey, we’re going to do this thing,’" Majors said. "And we did. My mother married us yesterday. Her mother was there. We had these rings, and we got them engraved in Hawaii."
He also recounted a touching moment with Good, saying, "Today might be the happiest day of my life." The confirmation of their marriage puts an end to months of speculation and offers a glimpse into their commitment to one another, despite the external pressures they face.
The couple’s journey to the altar has been far from conventional. They confirmed their engagement in November 2024, a period that coincided with Majors’ legal battles. Good notably accompanied Majors to court throughout his trial, demonstrating unwavering support.
In December 2023, Majors was found guilty of assaulting his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, an incident that allegedly occurred during a car ride in New York. The conviction led to his dismissal from his prominent role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a significant blow to his career. He was subsequently sentenced to a 52-week therapy program focused on domestic violence.
Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, Rolling Stone recently published an audio clip that purportedly captured Majors confessing to assaulting Jabbari. In the recording, Majors could be heard responding to Jabbari’s accusation that he had "strangled" and "pushed" her against a car, by saying, "Yes, all those things are under aggressed, yeah. That’s never happened to me." The resurfacing of this audio has reignited public debate and criticism surrounding Majors’ actions. The audio was reportedly captured following a multi-day altercation between Majors and Jabbari.
Despite the controversy, Good has remained steadfast in her support for Majors. In a recent profile in The Hollywood Reporter, Majors recalled meeting Good at the Ebony Power 100 Gala in November 2022, well before the allegations against him surfaced. "She said to me, ‘I see you. I really love what you’re doing. Keep going,’" Majors recounted. "I stood up straight and said, ‘Yes, ma’am.’ We just looked at each other and that was that. And I didn’t stop thinking about it."
Good also addressed her decision to stand by Majors during his trial in the same interview, stating, "People tend to move out of the way out of concern for their careers or their reputations. To me, that’s not real love. If you know someone and if you believe in someone, it’s not conditional."
Her unwavering support has drawn both admiration and criticism. In an interview on the "Today" show last year, Good revealed that "every friend advised" her against dating Majors amid his legal troubles. However, she emphasized her faith and personal conviction in her decision. "At the end of the day, one thing I know is that I can always look myself in the mirror when I trust my spirit, when I trust God, when I ask God, when I move to the beat of my own drum — I can always look and say, ‘I’m proud of that,’" she said. "Whatever happens, I have peace in my heart and I have harmony in my heart."
Majors himself has spoken about his personal growth and changes over the past two years. In an interview with USA TODAY, he said, "I was so focused on separation of church and state, a bit of an isolationist, a bit of a lone wolf. It only got me so far. But in the past two years, with everything I’ve been participating in, and all the reflection I’ve gotten to have, my fiancée (Meagan Good), my buddy over here, I understand that there is a need to connect. There is a need to have support and help, and you have to help and support yourself – your full self, not just your mind, not just your body, not just your heart. Everything has to be supported to be made whole. Am I whole now? Nowhere close. But there’s an understanding that I’m not whole now."
The marriage announcement coincides with the impending release of Majors’ film, "Magazine Dreams," which was originally scheduled for release in 2023 but was shelved due to his legal issues. The film’s debut marks a significant step in Majors’ attempt to revive his career amidst ongoing controversy. The film has been highlighted as a potential vehicle for his comeback, although its reception remains uncertain given the public perception surrounding him.
The union of Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about events in Hollywood this year. It is a story of love, loyalty, and resilience, but it is also intertwined with serious allegations and public scrutiny. Only time will tell how their relationship will evolve and how Majors’ career will unfold in the aftermath of these events.
