Jonathan Majors ‘marries' Meagan Good nearly a year after domestic assault sentencing

Jonathan Majors ‘marries' Meagan Good nearly a year after domestic assault sentencing

Independent19-03-2025
Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good have reportedly tied the knot.
Ahead of the release of Majors' latest film, Magazine Dreams, the couple were wed in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles, Entertainment Tonight reported.
Majors' mother officiated and Good's mother was the witness, according to the outlet.
The Independent has reached out to representatives for Majors and Good for comment.
The couple confirmed their engagement to People in November 2024 while attending the EBONY Power 100 Gala where they first met in 2022. "We're feeling great,' Good told People at the time while flaunting her diamond ring. 'It's a season of joy,' Majors added.
Good and Majors were first linked in May 2023, around the same time he was facing trial for misdemeanor assault and harassment charges. The charges stemmed from an incident involving his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in March 2023. Jabbari, 31, accused Majors of hitting her, fracturing her finger, twisting her arm, and causing her to bleed after striking her ear.
In December 2023, Majors was found guilty of two counts of misdemeanor assault and harassment. He was also found not guilty of one count of assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree.
Majors avoided jail time but was sentenced to a year-long domestic abuse prevention program in April 2024. Jabbari has since dropped an assault and defamation lawsuit against Majors, after the Marvel actor claimed both before and during the trial that he did not assault Jabbari.
Good — who was previously married to producer DeVon Franklin until their 2022 divorce — publicly supported Majors throughout the trial, even accompanying him to court. In July 2024, she admitted to People that Majors 'tried to encourage me not to be with him. He wanted to protect me.'
That same month, during an appearance on Today With Hoda & Jenna, the Think Like a Man actor said 'every friend' advised her to wait until Majors' proceedings were complete before engaging in a relationship.
'But at the end of the day, one thing I know is I can always look myself in the mirror when I trust my spirit, when I trust God, when I ask God, and when I move to the beat of my own drum,' Good continued. 'I can always look and say, 'Ok I'm proud of that.' No matter whatever happens I have peace in my heart and harmony in my heart.'
Magazine Dreams marks Majors' return to the big screen following the domestic assault scandal that brought his rising career to a halt. Majors plays an up-and-coming bodybuilder who abuses steroids on his ascent to stardom. The film opens in theaters on March 21.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter publicizing the movie, Majors admitted that the aftermath of the domestic assault trial forced him to address unresolved issues from his childhood.
'I dealt with sexual abuse from both men and women from the time I was 9,' Majors said. 'From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f***ed up.'
Through therapy, he's been able to confront the trauma he experienced. Majors said he's only recently spoken to his mother about what happened to him decades ago.
'I'm like, 'It's not even an issue, mom. I just want you to know. And now we can all get busy and continue to connect and grow and learn from it, because it's something that was in our family,'' said Majors.
As he looks to the film's release he acknowledged, 'There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself.'

Heartbreaking update in Prince Harry and William feud as author drops Diana bombshell

A royal author has revealed a heartbreaking detail in the years-long row between Princes William and Harry, as he reveals what Diana would have done to heal wounds A royal biographer has claimed that Princess Diana would have acted as a "peacemaker" during the years-long feud between Prince William and Prince Harry. ‌ Andrew Morton, who famously documented the life of the late Princess of Wales, believes that the long-running rift between Diana's two sons is a "great loss for the monarchy" and said Diana would have 'put an end to the cold war' between the princes. ‌ William and Harry are not on speaking terms after years of public barbs from the Sussexes, but the two men are still carrying on their late mother's life's work through their various philanthropic efforts, and are preparing to mark the 28th anniversary of Diana's untimely death. It comes after Prince Harry 'admits he is still part of the Royal Family and finally sees sense'. ‌ When Princess Diana tragically died on August 31st 1997, William and Harry - who were 15 and 12 respectively at the time - were united in grief. Now, decades later, they couldn't be further apart, but oyal biographer Andrew Morton says that Diana would have played a key part in healing wounds. ‌ He told People: "Diana always used to say she had two boys for a reason — the younger would be there to support the older in the lonely task as future King. There is no doubt Diana would have tried to act as a peacemaker between them. If she had been around, they would have worked things out in a different way." He added: "We all remember the days when Harry and William were joshing with one another, and it all seemed set for their relationship and the future — that Harry, as Diana always used to say, would be William's wingman. It's a great loss for the monarchy." Tensions between William and Harry deepened in 2020 when Harry and Meghan quit royal life and relocated to California. The rift then only grew after the Sussexes 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry's 2023 memoir Spare, which were both critical of the royal family. ‌ According to Andrew Morton: "Things were said that sparked the initial rift, and it's never healed." Harry himself echoed the sentiment during an interview with the BBC in May, in which he said: "Some members of my family will never forgive me." Harry has spoken openly about his hope for reconciliation with his family. Hopes of a truce were sparked last month when senior aides to both Harry and King Charles were spotted at a meeting in London, but William's representatives were reportedly not invited to the appointment. ‌ Sources have claimed that Harry's calls and messages to William have gone unanswered, with Robert Lacey, author of Battle of Brothers, saying: "They both deeply believe that they're fighting for profound points of principle." While a royal reconciliation has not yet materialised, many royal fans have long hoped for a reunion between the brothers, with some saying it is what Diana would have wanted. A source close to the royal household said: "This is the sadness of it — they aren't supporting each other like they should be. That's what any mother would want — that they are there for each other."

Diana Ross, 81, sparks concern after pulling out of performance

Music legend Diana Ross has pulled out of a high-profile performance aboard Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas, sparking concerns about her health. The 81-year-old icon was due to headline a three-day showcase cruise launching on August 20 and had even been named the ship's official godmother. However, in a shock announcement, her team confirmed on Tuesday that Ross would no longer be performing. 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, Diana Ross will be unable to appear,' her rep said in a statement to People. No further details were given, leaving fans speculating about her condition just weeks after her dazzling set at the Henley Festival. Ross was scheduled to lead the celebration for the Star of the Seas – state-of-the-art addition to Royal Caribbean's fleet – with a special naming ceremony and headline concert. The event, departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, and heading to Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas, was set to be one of the year's biggest at-sea entertainment launches. Royal Caribbean has since confirmed they're searching for a new godmother, though Ross' absence has clearly left big shoes to fill. 'We are disappointed that Diana Ross is unable to join us to be godmother of Star of the Seas,' the cruise line said in a statement. Plans to crown a new godmother will be announced 'soon,' they added. Back in June, Ross had expressed her excitement about the honour. Ross had even invited her family to join her on the Royal Caribbean cruise before her sudden withdrawal. 'I am truly honoured to join the Royal Caribbean family,' she said in a press release at the time. 'Having spent years creating beautiful music and memories and bringing people together from all over the world, this feels like a perfect continuation of my journey as godmother of Star of the Seas.' Royal Caribbean president and CEO Michael Bayley also praised her selection, calling her 'a true icon' and the perfect figure to represent the brand's celebratory spirit. Despite the cancellation, Ross has reassured fans she'll still hit the road for her Beautiful Love U.S. tour, which kicks off on August 16 in Saratoga, California. She's expected to make stops in Newark, Atlantic City, St. Louis, Lincoln, and more, before wrapping up in Palm Springs on December 13. Over the weekend, Ross took to Instagram to share the full list of dates. 'It's good to be back home,' she wrote. 'The Beautiful Love Tour is coming to cities across the U.S. for unforgettable nights filled with music, memories, and joy.' She added, 'The tour starts a week from today, on August 16th, at the @mountainwinery in Saratoga, CA. Come join the love celebration.' Ross also offered some insight into how she's keeping well in her 80s, telling People in June that health and family remain her top priorities. 'I like staying busy,' she said. 'Because I love what I do, it keeps me grounded. I'm swimming a lot lately to stay flexible.' The Motown queen admitted she's mindful of rest and diet – but not above the occasional indulgence. 'I must get my sleep, which is important to me,' she said. 'I do my best to eat well, but I do like Häagen-Dazs ice cream.' The singer is a mother to five – including actor Evan Ross, who's married to Ashlee Simpson – and grandmother to eight. Her family has always been a cornerstone of her life, something she speaks about often and with pride. 'And my family is equally everything to me,' she told People. 'I have been very blessed in my life. I love what I do. I love my family. I love my life. I'm a happy person.' She also shared her thoughts on staying young at heart. 'The love of what I do keeps me grounded, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually,' she said. 'When you can't find the sunshine, be the sunshine.' More Trending Ross rose to fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Supremes, the best-selling girl group of all time. Hits like Baby Love, You Can't Hurry Love, and Stop! In the Name of Love turned her into a global star. She later went solo, delivering classics such as Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Endless Love, I'm Coming Out, and Chain Reaction. Ross has earned 13 Grammy nominations and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award twice – once as a solo artist in 2012, and again in 2023 with The Supremes. Got a story?

Jack Nicholson's grandson 'knocked ex unconscious and broke her tooth'

Sean Nicholson, the eldest grandchild of Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson, is facing serious legal trouble after allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, leaving her with severe facial injuries. The 29-year-old techno producer, who performs under the name Cutter Mattock, was arrested on August 5 following a July 23 incident at his Venice, California apartment. According to a police report obtained by People, Sean – who is the son of Jack's daughter Jennifer Nicholson -is accused of knocking 28-year-old Elizabeth Lawlor unconscious during an altercation that broke her tooth. Elizabeth later posted a photograph of her injury on Instagram with the caption: 'This summer gave me PTSD.' Authorities say Sean grabbed Lawlor by the neck and head during a heated argument, throwing her into a hard object. Elizabeth, a psychology student at Pepperdine University, claims she briefly blacked out before realizing her tooth was broken. After fleeing the apartment, she says Sean escorted her back inside, where she documented her injuries and sent the images to his mother, designer Jennifer Nicholson, who then called 911. 'Victim stated that she blacked out and when she opened her eyes realized her tooth had broken,' the report reads. Emergency responders transported Elizabeth to Marina Del Rey Hospital, where she underwent oral surgery and received stitches for other facial wounds. The police report also states that Elizabeth and Sean had been in an on-and-off relationship between 2023 and 2024. Sean, who has no prior criminal record, posted $50,000 bail after his arrest. He faces felony charges of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon – in this case, police say, his 'hands, feet, and teeth.' If convicted, he could serve up to four years in state prison. He is scheduled to appear in court on August 26. Sean Norfleet Nicholson is the son of Jennifer Nicholson – Jack Nicholson's eldest child – and her former husband, Mark Norfleet. More Trending Jennifer was born in 1963 during his marriage to Sandra Knight. In 1970, he fathered son Caleb Goddard with Five Easy Pieces co-star Susan Anspach, and in 1981 welcomed daughter Honey Hollman with model Winnie Hollman, who raised Honey in Denmark. Nicholson later had two children – Lorraine and Ray – with actress Rebecca Broussard, and in 1994 became father to his youngest daughter, Tessa Gourin, with Jennine Gourin, though the two have remained largely estranged. Jack Nicholson, now 88 and retired from acting for many years, is among the most legendary living film stars. Over a career spanning six decades, he has won three Academy Awards, six Golden Globes. Sean's next court date has not yet been scheduled, and neither he nor his representatives have issued a public statement regarding the allegations. Got a story?
