Meagan Good shares that 'everybody' had advice about her dating Jonathan Majors during his assault trial last year.
Meagan Good has nothing but good things to say about her relationship with her boyfriend, Jonathan Majors. During an appearance on Tuesday's episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna, the 42-year-old actress gushed about the 34-year-old former Marvel star, whom she's been romantically linked with since May 2023.
"The support that we've been able to give each other, the pouring into each other, the honest conversations, the love, the respect, just the care and the thoughtfulness... it's just been really wonderful," Good tells hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb.
Good and Majors have been nearly inseparable since going public with their relationship. Good was a frequent sight by Majors' side during his assault trial and conviction, and was visibly upset after the verdict was read in December, an eyewitness told ET at the time.
In January, Majors gave his first interview post-guilty verdict with Good Morning America and praised Good for standing by him during his trial and in the aftermath.
"She's an angel. She's held me down like... a Coretta," he said, referencing Coretta Scott King, the wife of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. "I'm so blessed to have her. You know, the relationship is still fresh, but, you know, I think I found her."
Considering his legal troubles, it's no surprise Good quips that "everybody" had advice about her being in a relationship with Majors.
"At the end of the day, one thing I know is that I can always look myself in the mirror when I trust my spirit, when I trust God, when I ask God and I move to the beat of my own drum," she adds. "I can always look and say, 'OK, I'm proud of that,' no matter what happens, I have peace in my heart and I have harmony in my heart. It's only when I do something based on someone else saying, 'I think you should do this."
Although the Divorce in the Black star says she takes the opinions of her loved ones into account, "at the end of the day I'm the one who has to live my life."
"I want to be responsible for the choices I make and I want to live the life I want to live," she concludes.
Majors has been on hand to support Good as she promotes Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black, in which Good stars as Ava, a young professional woman whose husband, Dallas (Cory Hardrict), abandons her. On Monday, the pair posed for photos together at the film's New York City premiere, where they shared some PDA at the event, kissing in front of the cameras on the carpet.
When asked if Majors has seen the new movie yet, Good told ET, "Oh yeah, we've seen it. We saw the screener. It's so crazy because the first scene is insane, [and] he was like, 'It's very good!' He's like, 'You're doing your damn thing!'"
Good also credited her buff beau for her impressively fit physique, which she flaunted on the red carpet in a stunning cutout gown.
When asked to share the secret to her remarkable abs, Good replied, "Mr. Majors! He works out very, very hard."
"That's the added benefit of someone who is consistent," she added with a smile. "It has changed my life and my physique."
Divorce in the Black premieres July 11 on Prime Video.
