Before the most recent news, Meagan Good had received a fair amount of backlash for sticking by Jonathan Majors despite allegations of physical abuse and the court case that ensued.

Meagan Good, an American actress and model, first gained momentum with her breakout role in Eve's Bayou (1997), followed by her portrayal of Nina in the Nickelodeon sitcom Cousin Skeeter (1998-2001). As of this report, Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors have reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in their Los Angeles home on Tuesday, March 18, as per Entertainment Tonight.

The news also comes off the heels of leaked audio coming to light where Majors admits to assaulting former girlfriend Grace Jabbari when filming for Marvel’s Loki in London. In the conversation obtained by Rolling Stone, Majors admits to strangling Jabbari and pushing her up against her car, “I aggressed you”.

Meagan was universally loved before her puzzling decision to support Majors despite all the accusations, some of which seem to be turning out to be more valid than previously expected. To better understand her choice to continue to stand by Majors’ side, let’s first delve into who Meagan Good is and how she got here.

Who is Meagan Good?

Meagan Good is an American actress and model who began her work in the industry at a very young age. She appeared as an extra on well-known television shows Doogie Howser M.D. and Amen before being cast in the iconic comedy classic Friday at 13. Two years later in 1997 and at just 15 years old, Good appeared in Eve’s Bayou for which she would garner 2 nominations for her portrayal of Cisely Batiste.

After her first taste of success and acclaim, Good parlayed her rising status into a role on Nickelodeon’s Cousin Skeeter, while simultaneously taking a host of other roles including music video appearances for 50 Cent, Tyrese, and Will Smith. After this period in her career, Good actively transitioned into more mature projects as she was ready to take on more in terms of the scope of her work.

Good has captivated movie-going audiences with memorable roles in the years since, in the Think Like a Man series, Anchorman 2, Shazam! and Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Brick, and Day Shift. Her work on the small screen cannot be neglected either as she had scene-stealing performances in shows like Californication, White Famous, Minority Report, and Deception to list a few.

Before dating Majors, Good was married to Columbia Pictures executive, motivational speaker, and author DeVon Franklin. The pair began dating in 2011, tied the knot a year later, and divorced in 2022 after 10 years of marriage.
