Key Takeaways
- Jonathan Majors told Nigeria’s AFRIFF audience he was broke when he began dating Meagan Good, saying, “I got nothing to give her. But she just stayed.”
- Majors credited Good with supporting him through his criminal trial; his December 2023 misdemeanor assault and harassment convictions led Marvel to cut ties with him.
- The couple has since married, and Good says their relationship made her genuinely excited about having children.
Jonathan Majors says he was broke, his Hollywood career was falling apart, and his reputation was in shambles when Meagan Good came into his life. Now, the actor is getting emotional about how his wife stood by him when he had little left to offer, telling an audience in Nigeria that he didn’t even know who he was when their relationship began.
During a November 3 appearance at the 15th Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in Lagos, Majors opened up to Nigerian media personality Chude Jideonwo about the financial and personal fallout surrounding his legal troubles.
“I got this beautiful woman who’s coming into my life, and I don’t really know what to do with it,” he admitted during the special edition of WithChude. “I don’t know what to do with it ’cause I don’t know who I am.”
Then came his assessment of what he was bringing to the relationship: “I ain’t got no money. I got the wrong type of fame at the moment.”
According to Majors, Good stayed anyway. “I got nothing to give her. But she just stayed. She just waited. She just helped me.”
The admission comes from an actor who, just months before his arrest, seemed on the verge of becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest leading men. Majors had starring roles in Creed III and Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, with his portrayal of Kang positioned to anchor the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next major storyline.
That trajectory collapsed following his March 2023 arrest involving his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. In December 2023, a New York jury convicted Majors of misdemeanor assault and harassment while acquitting him of other charges. Marvel subsequently severed ties with the actor, and he was sentenced to a 52-week domestic violence intervention program.
Good, meanwhile, became a fixture at his court appearances, frequently accompanying him alongside members of her family. Majors revisited those scenes during the AFRIFF conversation, making a point of distinguishing his legal proceedings from the kind of adversity celebrities often describe in interviews.
“Through the actual trial. Not like, like, ooh, trial, tribulations. No, no, no. I’m talking trial,” he said. He recalled navigating crowds outside the courthouse while trying to escort Good, her mother, and her sister inside.
The conversation reportedly brought Good to tears, prompting Jideonwo to acknowledge her emotional reaction.
The couple has since married and made no secret of their plans for the future. During a July appearance on Danielle Brooks’ The InnerMission Podcast, Good revealed that Majors changed her mind about having children. “When Jonathan and I got together is when I became genuinely excited about it,” she said.
The pair also appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Africa, discussing their ambitions to support African filmmakers and entrepreneurs months after becoming citizens of Guinea through an ancestry initiative.
