Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good’s romance began with a chance encounter at the EBONY Power 100 Gala, and in May 2023, the couple confirmed their relationship. They later became engaged and recently married in an intimate backyard ceremony at their Los Angeles home, officiated by Majors’ mother, a pastor.
During an appearance on “Sherri,” Majors shared that he had first asked for Good’s father’s blessing in Paris. A few months after the wedding, Good told Us Weekly she was “ready” for children, expressing her excitement to start a family with Majors, whom she called a “phenomenal father.” Throughout their relationship, Majors has been vocal about his deep admiration for Good. Here are 11 moments where the actor shared his feelings about their bond.
1. “I looked, and I couldn’t stop looking, and I haven’t stopped looking ever since, and she caught that vibe.”
In an interview with Jason Lee on Hollywood Unlocked, the Magazine Dreams star detailed their first meeting in the bathroom at the EBONY Power 100 Gala. “I’m coming out the bathroom, she’s coming in the bathroom,” Majors recalled. He said Good approached him to compliment his work, making a powerful and lasting impression.
2. “She’s been the best lesson of my life, and I can’t wait to continue the curriculum.”
Speaking with REVOLT, Majors explained how his relationship with Good deepened his understanding of people. “In learning her, I’ve found out so much about humanity,” he said. “That people can actually be that beautiful and kind. That people can actually be that strong and that kind.” He added, “She’s everything you think she is, and then some stuff that I know that y’all don’t [know].”
3. “I said to Meagan yesterday, ‘Today might be the happiest day of my life.’ I love that woman so much.”
While appearing on “Sherri,” Majors became emotional when discussing his recent marriage to Good. The two wed in an intimate ceremony at their home, and the actor revealed intimate details, including asking her father for permission to marry her. “My mother married us yesterday. Her mother was there,” Majors shared.
4. “I love you beyond limit, with all my strength, with all my heart.”
While accepting the Perseverance Award at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, Majors delivered a tearful tribute to Good. “I don’t need to be so tough and strong when you carried me so, so, so many nights,” he said to the Harlem actress. After his emotional speech, he lightened the mood by singing the chorus of Chaka Khan’s “Through the Fire.”
5. “She took an incredible hit.”
Majors revealed on “The Breakfast Club” that Good faced professional consequences for supporting him, including lost endorsements and rescinded invitations to events. He explained that her unwavering loyalty was apparent to the industry. “They knew if Meg was coming, Jay’s coming,” he added, emphasizing that Good stood by him without hesitation.
6. “She’s held me down like a Coretta. I’m so blessed to have her. The relationship is still fresh. I think I found her.”
In an interview with ABC’s Linsey Davis, Majors called Good an “angel” and compared her steadfast support to that of Coretta Scott King, the late wife of Martin Luther King Jr. “The relationship is still fresh,” he said at the time. “I think I found her.”
7. “I think Meagan and I do a good job of dealing with each other where we’re at, and you don’t know anybody until you’ve been through all the seasons with them.”
Majors told “Entertainment Tonight” that a key part of their connection is their ability to guide and motivate one another through life’s challenges. He emphasized their mutual understanding and their shared experience of weathering difficult times together.
8. “My experience with the queens in my life — first and foremost, my fiancée Meagan, who is quite the opposite, extremely supportive, extremely present, extremely loving and caring.”
In a Variety interview conducted the day before their wedding, Majors credited the Black women in his life—especially his then-fiancée—with providing crucial encouragement during his assault trial involving his former girlfriend. “I feel that love and I feel that support, and I’m so grateful for it,” he said. “They’ve kept me afloat.”
9. “I’m getting less and less powerful as I step away from Meagan, so I’m most powerful right here.”
At the 2024 EBONY Power 100 Gala, where the couple first met, Majors was asked when he feels his most powerful. Leaning in toward Good, he replied, “Right here, I’m most powerful.” Good echoed the sentiment just before showing off her engagement ring.
10. “I had to mature a lot. She caught me at a time when I was in a bad way.”
During his interview with “The Breakfast Club,” Majors reflected on the personal growth required at the start of their relationship, acknowledging he was in a difficult period when they began dating. He explained that he felt compelled to become “worthy of her patience and her time,” stating, “I had to get to that level — spiritually, socially, emotionally.”
11. “She holds me down. I hold her down.”
The 55th Annual NAACP Awards was a significant event for Good, who received three nominations. Majors, who was there to support her, told E! News that their strength comes from their mutual support. “We’re celebrating tonight,” he said, underscoring their partnership.
