The duo first turned heads on the red carpet while putting on a public display of affection and radiating happiness.
When asked about their relationship, Good boldly declared they were "in love" and called Majors "the one."
She then flashed a stunning diamond ring on her finger, which drew cheers from the paparazzi. Both stars were impeccably dressed for the occasion in complementary shiny fabrics.

A second user commented, "Kinda the dream to find your wifey when you're at your lowest, rather than at your heights."

Someone else said, "Cheers to the happy couple! May your engagement be the start of a beautiful journey."
One more fan commented, "Well done. When you have a woman that rides die you, you've won. No need to stay in the game anymore."
The Couple Was Confirmed To Be Dating In May 2023
In May 2023, the couple were confirmed to be dating after being spotted on a movie outing at the Alamo Drafthouse in Los Angeles.
A few days after the appearance, a source shared that the duo first had a platonic relationship that later turned into an affair.
"Meagan and Jonathan have maintained a friendship for some time," the insider shared, per People Magazine.
They added, "Meagan has shown considerable support towards him. It seems their relationship has developed further from that point."
As hinted by the source, Good was seen all through the remainder of the year showing up with Majors to the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City, where he was being tried for assault and harassment against his ex, Grace Jabbari.
Earlier this year, the duo finally made their red carpet debut at the 7th annual African-American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) Special Achievement Awards Luncheon in Los Angeles.
Jonathan Majors Tried To Convince Good Not To Date Him
While a fairytale wedding now seems on the horizon for Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good, their relationship had a challenging start due to Majors' legal troubles.
At one point, Majors, aware of the negativity surrounding his situation, attempted to "encourage" Good to distance herself from him as a way to "protect" her from potential backlash.
However, the actress was already deeply in love with him and convinced him that she was confident in her ability to handle public scrutiny.
"I was like, 'My love, first of all, you're dealing with a Black Leo,'" Good recalled telling Majors, per People. "And also, I grew up in this industry. The things that I've been through gave me the bandwidth to love other people, regardless."
Still, watching her partner endure such an ordeal took an emotional toll on Good, who described the experience as "tough to watch."
Despite the difficulties, she claimed that they found strength in their bond and practices like "praying together, meditating, and working out."

On the red carpet, they told People that "presence" is key to their support for each other.
Good added, "Being present with life. It's an interesting thing, life. We have to be present in the moment, right now."
She emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive outlook: "Just dance no matter what. Whether it's raining or shining, this is a moment in life we never get back. We never get this day, we never get this time. We get this in a minute, making everything worth it."
Majors also mentioned that "learning" plays a crucial role in keeping their relationship strong.
