Meagan Good says ex-husband DeVon Franklin initiated their breakup.
The 43-year-old actress appeared on the Monday, April 14, episode of Zeus’ The Jason Lee Show podcast, and opened up about her marriage with Franklin, 47.
The former couple married in 2012. Good filed for divorce from Franklin in December 2021.
She explained during the episode that Franklin “left” her. She noted that it was “an amicable parting,” but she wouldn’t divulge too many specifics of their relationship.
“What I can say is, it’s not that anybody did anything wrong. I can’t say that he f—ed that up and I can’t say that I f—ed that up,” Good said. She added that they both have “done a lot of healing” and had “a lot of growth.”

“I don’t think either of us failed. If we failed, we failed upwards,” she said. “I don’t think that any time was wasted. I think that everything in life, every single season, you do learn so much, and you do grow so much, and you give so much, and you do get so much.”
“Our perception is our reality,” she continued, and said that she is “thankful” for their relationship.
“It’s my conscious mind in every single season to choose what best serves my quality of life and best serves the other person’s quality of life,” she said. “Anything else, to me, is a waste of time, and it’s a waste of energy.”
“I grew a lot. I learned a lot. I got a lot. Everything that I have learned, and the ways I have grown, have allowed me to be a better fiancée and ultimately a better wife, but more importantly, a better person.”

During Good’s appearance, she also spoke about her marriage to Jonathan Majors. Majors, 35, and Good began dating in May 2023 and got engaged in November 2024. A source confirmed the couple’s nuptials to PEOPLE in March 2025.
Good and Majors began dating two months after the latter was charged with physically assaulting a woman while riding in a New York taxi cab in March 2023. Court documents obtained by PEOPLE alleged that Majors “[struck the victim] about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear.”
However, Good told Lee that since their relationship started with friendship, she wasn’t going to step away from Majors.
“It’s not about throwing yourself into the fire,” she explained. “If you are walking away with someone and you know the quality of the human being that they are, and if they have to walk through fire, are you going to walk beside them? Or are you going to step aside because it will hurt your career?”
In February 2025, PEOPLE exclusively confirmed that Franklin got engaged to his girlfriend of a year, celebrity trainer Maria Castillo.
