In March 2023, Meagan Good spoke to Essence about the end of her nine-year marriage to DeVon Franklin saying that while she was devastated by the divorce, she was thrilled to start a new chapter. “Once I accepted everything, I felt grateful for the time we had together and the beautiful journey. Then there was an excitement,” she told the magazine. “I get to start life all over again, in my prime, with so many incredible things happening in my life and in my career.” While reflecting on her divorce on “The View” in January 2023, the actor hinted that she was open to finding love again after Franklin. “I’m just really excited about what’s next. I feel like I … have a second chance at whatever is supposed to be next,” she said. So I’m really embracing that.”
Friends of the “Harlem” star told People that Good dating Johnathan Majors actually makes perfect sense. “It’s been a little stunning to see her go from [DeVon], with faith at the center of their marriage, to Jon. But also understandable why she’d go for someone who’s totally different after being with the same person for so long and not having it work out.” They added that Good struggled a lot after her split from Franklin. “[It] was very tough for her to process, and the decision to end the marriage is something both she and DeVon took very seriously,” they said.
