Jonathan Majors and his girlfriend Meagan Good reportedly gave an emotional interview while recently speaking on their romance and the actor’s recent trial.
The couple spoke exclusively to US Weekly while appearing on the red carpet at the New York Urban League’s Frederick Douglass Awards Dinner on Thursday, June 6. During the chat, Good shared how “proud” she is of her boyfriend.
“I’m really, really proud of him,” she said. “It’s been quite a year to say the least, and how he’s handled it, how he’s grown, how we’ve learned to dance in the rain and how we’ve learned to just look at God first and foremost above everything.”
Good explained that Majors is her “favorite person.”
“He is literally my favorite person,” the actor continued. “Just because of his heart, just because of the way that he’s helped me grow because of his honesty, because of his laughter, his jokes and I can go on and on.”
In turn, Majors mirrored Good’s sentiments. The actor explained that the 42-year-old is the “one thing” he works for and makes sacrifices for, and added that she “makes” him “good.”
“I don’t want to cry, but she’s my best friend,” he told the outlet. “At 34 years old, who would have thought that this would be my friend? The one thing I work for, fight for, sacrifice for. She makes me good, as cliché as that sounds.”
According to the outlet, the couple then became emotional. They reportedly touched on “how the past few months have affected them.” However, US Weekly did not provide explicit quotes.
As the conversation continued, Good was reportedly asked if she was open to getting re-married. According to PEOPLE, Good was married to DeVon Franklin for nine years before the motivational filed for divorce in December 2021.
Good gave a brief yet confident answer to the outlet’s question.
“Yup,” she said.
From there, Majors spoke about Good’s support of him while sharing a quote from Frederick Douglass.
“You take support for granted. I know I did,” he said. “Because when you have it, it’s a whole different thing. Like, two nights ago, I was doing something and she came and backed me up, and tonight she’s up there, you know, showing out, and I’m here to back her up. We’ve learned to bring it forward back to the moment. And Frederick Douglass being the moment, there’s a quote of his that I will paraphrase. He says we are not judged by the heights we have reached, but by the depths we have overcome.”
As The Shade Room previously reported, reports alleging Good was dating Majors surfaced in May 2023. At the time, social media users appeared astonished. Just a few months earlier, in March, Majors had been arrested for strangulation, harassment, and assault of his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, per The Shade Room.
Later, in May 2023, Good and Majors’ romance was confirmed after photos surfaced of them holding hands.
Then, in December 2023, Majors’ domestic assault trial kicked off as Good remained by her boyfriend’s side as Major’s alleged treatment of Jabbari, text messages after their physical altercation, and surveillance footage of the incident surfaced.
In December 2023, Majors was convicted on two out of four charges of assault and harassment of Jabbari, per The Shade Room. In April, the actor avoided jail time after being sentenced to participate in a year-long intervention program for batterers. Major’s sentencing also reportedly includes him keeping no contact with Jabbari.
If he violates the terms of his probation, the actor could be sentenced to jail time, per The Shade Room.
Amid their appearance at the New York Urban League’s Frederick Douglass Awards Dinner earlier this week, the couple also appeared at the NAACP Theatre Awards.
Before this, the couple made headlines after lip-lockin’ on the beach in May.
