Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good's relationship is seemingly blossoming well despite the challenges they've been met with in recent times. Majors and Good, who have been dating since May 2023, made their red-carpet debut on Sunday at the AAFCA Special Achievement Awards luncheon in Los Angeles.
The sighting marks the actor's first official public appearance since he was pronounced guilty in the domestic abuse trial against his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. He faces up to a year in jail, with the sentencing scheduled for April.

The pair were hands-in-hands as they walked the red carpet of the AAFCA Special Achievement Awards luncheon, held on Sunday at the Los Angeles Athletic Club in downtown L.A.
For the event, the "Love Country" actor wore a navy beret and a long grey coat over a navy sweater and a blue button-up shirt, with oversized black pants and black boots.
Meanwhile, the "Harlem" star turned heads as she flaunted her toned physique in a pastel yellow crop top and form-fitting maxi skirt. She completed her look with a chunky gold bangle bracelet and gold hoop earrings, styling her auburn tresses in long, skinny braids.
They were all smiles as they posed for photos and were seen mingling with Deon Taylor and Roxanne Avent at the luncheon.
Jonathan Majors' Trial Has Got Nothing On Their Relationship
The former Marvel star was found guilty of misdemeanor assault in the third degree, recklessly causing physical injury, as well as harassment in the second degree, and faces up to a year in jail when he's convicted.
However, Majors' guilty verdict has not hampered his relationship with Good, as a source confirmed to People magazine that "they're solid and very much in love." The source also noted that the pair have been living together in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City and now have a 3-month-old Belgian Malinois.
The actress was a constant presence during his trial and has reportedly grown closer to him as a result of the verdict. They have since jetted off to L.A., where they've been keeping a low profile, and have reportedly completed a cross-country trip together from L.A. to New York with a stop-off in Texas to visit Majors' mother, Terri, per TMZ.
According to the news outlet, Good believes her boyfriend's ex was manipulative during their time together and is unhappy with the fact that prosecutors kept bringing up their text exchanges.
Another factor that's reportedly holding them up is their deep faith in God as Good continues to support the "Loki" star through these challenging times.
The Actor Was Accused Of Domestic Abuse By Two More Exes
Two of Majors' former partners recently came forward to accuse him of abuse as he awaits conviction for the Jabbari case.
According to the New York Times, Emma Duncan noted that she began dating the embattled actor in 2015 while they attended the Yale School of Drama in New Haven, CT.
Duncan alleged that Majors threatened her with violence often and once threw her across a room. The actor's criminal defense lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, denied the incident to People, although she noted that "many serious arguments" did occur.
A second ex, Maura Hooper, alleged that she got pregnant when she dated Majors between 2013-2015 and that, while he dropped her off at the abortion clinic, he did not pick her up after the procedure.
"Mr. Majors and Ms. Hooper mutually agreed that they should end the pregnancy," Chaudhry said, calling both women "toxic."
Jonathan Majors Asked For His Conviction To Be Postponed
Majors was initially set to receive his sentence on February 6, 2024. However, it was delayed after his defense team filed a motion to set aside the verdict.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Creed III" actor appeared virtually for the hearing before the prosecutors argued that they needed more time to respond to the motion. The case revolves around charges brought against him by Jabbari for an incident that occurred last year.
Jabbari disclosed in her testimony that while they were sitting in the back seat of an SUV, she discovered a text that read, "Oh how I wish to be kissing you," suggesting Majors was cheating on her and grabbed the phone from him. He then allegedly proceeded to strike her on the head and injured her in the process of trying to get his phone back.
The conviction is now set to take place on April 8.
