It’s official: Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good have tied the knot.
The “Creed III” star, 35, confirmed in an interview with Sherri Shepherd that aired Wednesday that he and the “Think Like A Man” actress, 43, are married.
Majors told Shepherd that his mother, a pastor, married the couple after she came out to Los Angeles from Dallas to attend a screening of his new movie, “Magazine Dreams.”
“We had told her that, ‘Hey, we’re going to do this thing,'” Majors said. “And we did. My mother married us yesterday. Her mother was there. We had these rings, and we got them engraved in Hawaii.”
Majors also recalled telling Good, “Today might be the happiest day of my life.” This is the first marriage for Majors, while Good was previously married to DeVon Franklin from 2012 to 2022.

Jonathan Majors reflects on his ‘dream and hope’ of a Hollywood comeback
Majors and Good first sparked dating rumors in May 2023, and they confirmed their engagement in November 2024. The actress accompanied Majors to court in 2023 after he was charged with assaulting his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, during a car ride in New York.
In December 2023, the “Lovecraft Country” star was found guilty of assaulting Jabbari, prompting his firing from his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel franchise. He was sentenced to a 52-week therapy domestic violence program in April 2024.
Earlier this week, Rolling Stone published an audio clip that appeared to show Majors confessing to assaulting Jabbari. In the resurfaced audio, Majors could be heard telling Jabbari that he “aggressed” her. “You strangled me and pushed me against the car,” Jabbari told Majors, to which he replied, “Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah. That’s never happened to me.” Rolling Stone reported the audio was captured “in the aftermath of a days-long fight between Majors and his then-girlfriend.”
In a recent profile of Majors in The Hollywood Reporter, the actor recalled meeting Good at the Ebony Power 100 Gala in November 2022. “She said to me, ‘I see you. I really love what you’re doing. Keep going,'” Majors told the outlet. “I stood up straight and said, ‘Yes, ma’am.’ We just looked at each other and that was that. And I didn’t stop thinking about it.”
Good also spoke to the outlet about why she stood by Majors during his trial. “People tend to move out of the way out of concern for their careers or their reputations,” she said. “To me, that’s not real love. If you know someone and if you believe in someone, it’s not conditional.”
In an interview with the “Today” show last year, Good said that “every friend advised” her against dating Majors amid his legal troubles.
Jonathan Majors reportedly admits to assaulting ex Grace Jabbari in resurfaced audio
“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, when I move to the beat of my own drum — I can always look and say, ‘I’m proud of that,”‘ she said. “Whatever happens, I have peace in my heart and I have harmony in my heart.”
Majors recently spoke to USA TODAY about how he has changed during the past two years.
“I was so focused on separation of church and state, a bit of an isolationist, a bit of a lone wolf,” he said. “It only got me so far. But in the past two years, with everything I’ve been participating in, and all the reflection I’ve gotten to have, my fiancée (Meagan Good), my buddy over here, I understand that there is a need to connect.
“There is a need to have support and help, and you have to help and support yourself – your full self, not just your mind, not just your body, not just your heart. Everything has to be supported to be made whole. Am I whole now? Nowhere close. But there’s an understanding that I’m not whole now.”
Majors’ marriage news comes the same week he is set to debut his movie “Magazine Dreams,” which was originally set to release in 2023 but was shelved amid Majors’ legal issues.
