Jonathan Majors ‘marries' Meagan Good nearly a year after domestic assault sentencing
Ahead of the release of Majors' latest film, Magazine Dreams, the couple were wed in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles, Entertainment Tonight reported.
Majors' mother officiated and Good's mother was the witness, according to the outlet.
The Independent has reached out to representatives for Majors and Good for comment.
The couple confirmed their engagement to People in November 2024 while attending the EBONY Power 100 Gala where they first met in 2022. "We're feeling great,' Good told People at the time while flaunting her diamond ring. 'It's a season of joy,' Majors added.
Good and Majors were first linked in May 2023, around the same time he was facing trial for misdemeanor assault and harassment charges. The charges stemmed from an incident involving his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in March 2023. Jabbari, 31, accused Majors of hitting her, fracturing her finger, twisting her arm, and causing her to bleed after striking her ear.
In December 2023, Majors was found guilty of two counts of misdemeanor assault and harassment. He was also found not guilty of one count of assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree.
Majors avoided jail time but was sentenced to a year-long domestic abuse prevention program in April 2024. Jabbari has since dropped an assault and defamation lawsuit against Majors, after the Marvel actor claimed both before and during the trial that he did not assault Jabbari.
Good — who was previously married to producer DeVon Franklin until their 2022 divorce — publicly supported Majors throughout the trial, even accompanying him to court. In July 2024, she admitted to People that Majors 'tried to encourage me not to be with him. He wanted to protect me.'
That same month, during an appearance on Today With Hoda & Jenna, the Think Like a Man actor said 'every friend' advised her to wait until Majors' proceedings were complete before engaging in a relationship.
'But at the end of the day, one thing I know is I can always look myself in the mirror when I trust my spirit, when I trust God, when I ask God, and when I move to the beat of my own drum,' Good continued. 'I can always look and say, 'Ok I'm proud of that.' No matter whatever happens I have peace in my heart and harmony in my heart.'
Magazine Dreams marks Majors' return to the big screen following the domestic assault scandal that brought his rising career to a halt. Majors plays an up-and-coming bodybuilder who abuses steroids on his ascent to stardom. The film opens in theaters on March 21.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter publicizing the movie, Majors admitted that the aftermath of the domestic assault trial forced him to address unresolved issues from his childhood.
'I dealt with sexual abuse from both men and women from the time I was 9,' Majors said. 'From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f***ed up.'
Through therapy, he's been able to confront the trauma he experienced. Majors said he's only recently spoken to his mother about what happened to him decades ago.
'I'm like, 'It's not even an issue, mom. I just want you to know. And now we can all get busy and continue to connect and grow and learn from it, because it's something that was in our family,'' said Majors.
As he looks to the film's release he acknowledged, 'There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself.'

His cause of death was listed as asphyxia by the authorities. But just weeks earlier on the podcast, Warner discussed his life and legacy in a poignant exchange. The host noted that "life is fragile" and asked him what he hoped his legacy would be. Warner reflected: "Because I'm 54, I think about that a lot. "I remember my mother said to me one time that Mr. Cosby gave you immortality." Ford jumped in to say: "Facts. That is very true." Warner continued: "I know on one lane there's legacy there." He added: "There's that legacy there, but then because I've had this full life after that show there's another lane of legacy that I get to leave. "And I'm still working through that. Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner dead at 54 after 'accidental drowning' "There is part of me that I will be able to leave this Earth knowing - and people knowing - that I was a good person." He added that he had been talking to his dad the previous day, who told him what made him the most proud is "that you are a good person". "That's wonderful," the host said. "But I'm a good person because my dad's a good person," Warner added. "It is possible to walk through this world - and will all of the darkness in the world - it is possible to maintain your soul and be a good person." Warner was best known for playing Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable on The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992. Beyond this, he would go on to have an illustrious career in TV and film. He is survived by a wife and a daughter, whom he has kept anonymous. In 2023, Warner told People: "I know I can speak for all the cast when I say The Cosby Show is something that we are all still very proud of. "We share a unique experience that keeps us lovingly bonded no matter how much time goes between seeing or hearing from each other." He defended the show despite it souring for many following a number of sexual assault allegations made against Cosby. Two years ago, he said: "Regardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I'm still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on — first and foremost, black culture — but also American culture."
