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.'

Presenter who was one of the most recognisable faces on TV quit for 'normal' job

Michael Underwood was a mainstay of children's TV in the 1990s and 2000s, presenting shows like Jungle Run, Ministry of Mayhem and Xchange A beloved figure in children's television during the late 90s and early 00s, took an unexpected turn when his presenting roles became scarce - he courageously decided to retrain and embark on a drastically different career path. Initially stumbling into the world of presenting after discovering a callout for audition tapes during his time at a radio station, Michael Underwood carved out a niche for himself, hosting a range of iconic kids' shows like Jungle Run and Ministry of Mayhem, as well as becoming a familiar face as an entertainment reporter for GMTV and Good Morning Britain. ‌ Beyond his presenting credentials, at age 39, Michael has also participated in high-profile reality shows such as Dancing on Ice, Celebrity MasterChef, and All Star Mr and Mrs with his partner, fellow presenter and Celebrity Big Brother star Angellica Bell. She too is known for her work with classic children's programmes like Xchange, 50/50, and That's Genius! ‌ He and Angellica lead a comparably ordinary life in their five-bedroom Victorian semi in Kingston-upon-Thames, London, with their son and daughter. However, when Michael's opportunities began to wane, he found himself at a crossroads. Speaking to The Mirror, he disclosed: "The phone stopped ringing. It's just not a nice place to be in. I needed to make a decision." "I thought you know what, I've got my teaching degree, I've got 20 years in broadcasting behind me, maybe I can take that skill set and put it to good use. Help build children's confidence, help them with their oracy, and their presenting skills. That's when I thought: 'Yeah, let's grab the bull by the horns and maybe take a step out into a different career'." He first took up a part-time drama teacher position at Surbiton High Boy's Prep School, peppering Year 4 classes with his broadcast experience, until he stepped up as a form teacher in 2019. Last September, with a full teaching degree under his belt, he embraced a full-time position at King's College School in Wimbledon. Reflecting on his earlier ambitions, he shared: "I never grew up wanting to be a television presenter, acting's what I loved but my family could never afford to send me to drama school." Recounting familial influences, he continued: "My mum was a nursery nurse, my sister was a nursery nurse, so working with children was in the family. It was my mum who actually said: 'Why don't you think of doing drama as a teaching degree, specialise in that and you've got something to fall back on if the acting doesn't work out.'".

Wrestling icon Ric Flair reveals cancer diagnosis

Ric Flair has revealed that his skin cancer has returned for the second time in three years. The wrestling legend, 76, revealed that he is set to begin treatment next week, only a few years after he was diagnosed the first time. 'It's the second time in three years that I've been dealing with skin cancer. 'I will be undergoing treatment next week,' he told People. The wrestler has struggled with ill health over the years and in 2017, he was hospitalised with early-stage kidney failure and close to congestive heart failure. It was revealed at the time that this was due to alcohol abuse, and his family members were reportedly told he only had a 20% chance of survival. Part of his bowel was removed, a pacemaker was inserted, and the star was put in a medically induced coma to heal. After recovery, Flair has referred to the time as 'My Terrible Health Crisis In 2017'. The WWE Hall of Famer, who is recognised as a 16-time world champion. He previously wrestled his 'last match' in July 2022, but has since made it clear he'd like to do more. More Trending Flair scared fans earlier this year with some thinking he 'wanted to die in the ring' as he revealed he wanted to wrestle in AEW. He claimed that his attempt to return to the ring was thwarted as boss Tony Khan snubbed the idea after learning he was 'on blood thinners'. 'He wouldn't let me in the ring,' Flair – who first retired in 2008 after losing to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania – told the Five Star Podcast. Asked if he has 'one more match' left in him, the veteran wrestler said: 'Hell yeah, I do!' Got a story?
