Actors Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good have stirred excitement within the entertainment community, announcing their engagement at the 2024 EBONY Power 100 Gala held recently in Los Angeles. This moment marks a significant milestone for the couple, who have navigated the ups and downs of public scrutiny over the past months.
Good, adorned in a sparkling gown, proudly showcased her stunning engagement ring during their red carpet appearance. The ring's halo design, accentuated by its vibrant color, seemed to catch every eye at the event. "Life is crazy—I’m crying to you—she is the most perfect, beautiful, divine (and) powerful being I’ve ever met," Majors expressed emotionally to EBONY magazine, highlighting the depth of his feelings for Good. He emphasized, "The fact she said I’m gonna run with you, I’m with it. I feel great."
While the couple's engagement brings joy, it follows some tumultuous times for Majors, who faced legal challenges earlier this year. The actor, known for his roles in Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment stemming from allegations involving his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. He received probation along with a year-long domestic violence counseling program but avoided jail time due to his previously clean record.
Good and Majors initially crossed paths two years ago at the same EBONY Power 100 event. They wanted to commemorate this connection by announcing their engagement at the same venue. "EBONY Power 100 is the event where we met—in the bathrooms," Good revealed, adding humorously, "in the unisex bathroom."
Despite their blossoming relationship, their love story hasn't been without challenges. The couple began dating around May 2023, shortly after Majors's legal issues were made public. Throughout this tumultuous period, Good remained steadfastly supportive. She often attended court sessions alongside Majors, demonstrating her commitment amid public speculation and breakup rumors.
Reflecting on their relationship, Good shared insights about the foundation of their love, noting, "The support we’ve been able to give to each other, the pouring, the honest conversations—it's been really wonderful." During her appearances, she acknowledged the concern from friends who advised her to be cautious about becoming involved with Majors, especially under the weight of his legal troubles. "I take everyone’s opinion and advice but at the end of the day, I’m the one who has to live my life," she stated firmly.
Majors, 35, and Good, 43, have each made significant contributions to the entertainment industry, both enduring and thriving alongside personal adversities. Good's past includes being married to producer DeVon Franklin for nine years, but they separated amicably back in 2021.
Although Majors has faced fallout from his legal challenges, including being dropped from several high-profile projects, he is poised for potential career resurgence. His film Magazine Dreams, depicting the life of an aspiring bodybuilder, is now set to premiere in early 2025 after being pulled from Disney's schedule last year due to his trial. Tom Ortenberg, the CEO of Briarcliff Entertainment, announced its new distribution plans, generating anticipation among fans and industry insiders alike.
With their engagement, both actors have expressed hope for the future. Good seems enamored with their slow, sweet progress as they transition from partners to fiancés, sharing details of their relationship's unique dynamics. "We did two proposals; I was very shocked, and it was wonderful," she recounted, adding her excitement and disbelief. Majors, echoing her sentiment, mentioned the significance of having two proposals as something he felt was special because it's quite reflective of how he feels about her.
For her part, Good’s transparent reflections about her relationship have unlocked doors to wider discussions about loyalty and resilience, especially for those observing from afar. Their story exemplifies how love can flourish even under scrutiny. Despite challenges and criticism, the couple appears to be focused on what truly matters: their bond and commitment to one another, free from outside judgment.
While the world may continue to speculatively watch their next steps, for now, Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are not just engaged; they are hopeful about the adventures their love story promises. From the spark of their unlikely meeting to this recent engagement, the narrative of their relationship seems to reveal two people resilient against adversity and committed to each other, and as future chapters of their lives emerge, it will surely be interesting to see what they bring to the table—both as individuals and as partners.
