Jonathan Majors And Meagan Good Are Dating
Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are confirmed to be currently dating, according to TMZ. Sources close to the actors revealed they started talking a while back and have gotten very close over the past months.
According to the news outlet, Majors and Good's relationship is still "fairly new." Eyewitnesses also say they saw the new couple on a weekend movie date at the Alamo Drafthouse in Los Angeles. It's unclear how serious the couple is as Majors was recently involved in a domestic abuse scandal with his now ex-girlfriend.
Jonathan Majors Was Arrested On Assault Charges
Majors' new relationship with Good comes a few months after he was arrested on charges related to domestic abuse and assault. In March, the "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" star was charged with multiple counts of misdemeanor assault and harassment over an incident with his ex-girlfriend.
Earlier that month, Majors' ex (who has remained anonymous during the scandal) accused him of slapping her in a taxi after they'd spent the night drinking and partying in New York. Several videos of their night together have since been shared by Majors' team to prove his innocence. One video showed the ex drinking and partying in a club hours after she claimed Majors had hit her.
Per TMZ, the actor's lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, provided more videos and texts from the alleged victim, telling Majors the arrest was a misunderstanding by the police. He's been charged with third-degree assault, which carries a maximum sentence of a year or a three-year probation.
He Had A Hearing On The Charges
Earlier last week, Majors had a virtual appearance for a short hearing at the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York. After the hearing, Chaudhry made a statement to People Magazine, where she said her team has provided "irrefutable evidence" of Majors' innocence to the District Attorney's office.
In the statement, Chaudhry claimed that the alleged victim lied about what happened between her and Majors. The woman's identity is still being kept secret by authorities, and it's not confirmed if she has legal representation. Majors' next hearing is set for June 13, and the presiding Judge Pauley stated he must physically appear for it.
He said, per Deadline, "I'm required to inform you that, as you know, if you fail to appear in court on June 13, a warrant can be issued for your arrest within 48 hours, and if you're brought back on the warrant, the next judge can revoke and even set bail. I don't want that to happen." He also reminded the actor that he's bound to an order of protection obtained by his alleged victim.
Meagan Good's Divorce From DeVon Franklin
Majors' alleged new lover, Meagan Good, has been single since she and her ex-husband DeVon Franklin separated in 2021. The former couple first announced their breakup In December of that year and then finalized the divorce process in June 2022, shortly after the would-be date of their 10th anniversary.
In an interview with Essence magazine, Good shared that she didn't want the divorce to happen. During the chat, the "Think Like A Man" star spoke about her difficulties since their marriage ended. She also said Franklin will always be "an incredible and beautiful person" and confirmed their split was not malicious.
Good kept herself busy with her film career amid her marriage issues with her ex. The actress has been in hit films like "Shazam," "Death Saved My Life," and "Day Shift," opposite Jamie Foxx. She is currently starring as Camille in the Amazon Prime series, "Harlem."
