When it rains, it pours—and for Jonathan Majors, the past few months have been a torrential downpour. The actor, 35, found himself embroiled in a high-stakes domestic abuse trial with his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, at the center.
What followed was a tale filled with painful courtroom revelations, career setbacks, and a reputation on the line. But, as the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens, and for Majors, a new chapter is now beginning—one that’s not defined by scandal but by a surprising love story.
Let’s rewind a bit. In March 2023, Majors’ life took an unexpected turn when he was arrested for allegedly assaulting Grace Jabbari. The fallout was swift. The actor was dropped from several high-profile projects, including his role as Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—a loss that left many wondering if this was the end of his career.
But life, as they say, has a way of throwing curveballs. Just when things appeared to be at their darkest, Majors found a silver lining. Meagan Good—actress, beauty, and perhaps the biggest surprise in this entire story. The couple made a public announcement that left everyone speechless. They are engaged!
Jonathan Majors Sentenced to Probation After Assault Conviction?
When things fall apart, they can come crashing down fast. Jonathan Majors has certainly experienced that firsthand after being convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari (via Economic Times). Now, after months of legal battles, the courts have handed down their verdict: probation, therapy, and a domestic violence intervention program (see BBC).
The drama began in 2023 when Majors was accused by Jabbari of physically assaulting her during a dispute in New York. According to prosecutors, it all started when Jabbari saw a flirtatious text message from another woman on Majors’ phone. What followed was a violent confrontation: prosecutors allege that Majors twisted Jabbari’s arm behind her back, hit her in the head, and caused serious physical harm.
While Majors denied these claims, the court ultimately found him guilty of third-degree assault and second-degree harassment (see NDTV). We learned from BBC that Justice Michael Gaffey, presiding over the case, sentenced Majors to probation and mandated that he complete a 52-week domestic violence intervention program.
He also ruled that Majors must continue with mental health therapy. “I pray that I do,” the actor said in an interview with ABC News, expressing his hope that he would be able to return to Hollywood despite the conviction.
With Marvel’s Kang the Conqueror role now off the table and his reputation forever tied to this incident, Majors faces a steep uphill battle. Yet, in the midst of this turmoil, Meagan Good has quietly become an integral part of his journey.
Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Are Engaged?
Love often blooms in the most unexpected of places. For Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good, that place was, quite fittingly, the bathroom. Yes, you read that right—the unisex bathroom at the Ebony Power 100 Gala, of all places, became the backdrop for the start of a beautiful love story (via E! News).
Fast forward just a few months, and the couple is now officially engaged. Good said:
[The] Ebony Power 100 is the event that we met at in the bathrooms, in the unisex bathroom.
On Sunday, November 17, Majors and Good proudly shared the news of their engagement while walking the red carpet at the star-studded Ebony Power 100 Gala in Los Angeles. The moment was as joyful as it was poignant, with Good, 43, flashing her sparkling engagement ring alongside her fiancé, 35-year-old Majors.
I’m really, really proud of him. It’s been quite a year to say the least, and how he’s handled it, how he’s grown, how we’ve learned to dance in the rain and how we’ve learned to just look at God first and foremost above everything.
The engagement marks a major turning point for Majors, who spent much of 2023 embroiled in a high-profile legal battle.
In the midst of this storm, Good has stood by him, offering firm support. The couple’s relationship has endured through the ups and downs, and she has been a steady source of strength throughout the whole ordeal. “He is literally my favorite person,” she shared (via US Weekly). Meanwhile, Majors admitted:
At 34 years old, who would have thought that this would be my friend. The one thing I work for, fight for, sacrifice for. She makes me good, as cliché as that sounds.
This isn’t just about love—it’s a full-on growth spurt, with mutual respect and a healthy dose of understanding. Sure, Majors’ road to redemption might be a bit like a marathon with a few speed bumps, but if anyone can help him cross the finish line, it’s Good. With her support, he’s got a fighting chance to turn the page and write a much better chapter ahead!
