Actress Meagan Good has been in the spotlight for most of her life. From starring in films like “Eve’s Bayou” as a teenager to her most recent Tyler Perry production ‘Divorce in the Black,” there is no denying her stardom and her longevity in the business.
Of course with fame comes attention, especially on her personal life. The actress’ well publicized relationship with actor Jonathan Majors continues to have the internet talking, and this isn’t the first time Good’s love life has been up for discussion.
Take a walk down memory lane with some of the actress’ past lovers — some confirmed and some rumored.
1. DeVon Franklin
Before there was Jonathan Majors, there was DeVon Franklin. Best known for his work as a motivational speaker, author, and Hollywood producer, the story goes Franklin reached out to Good after seeing one of her movies. At first, their relationship was strictly business, as Franklin was employed at Sony’s production company. After working on Jumping the Broom together, Good and Franklin rekindled their friendship and started dating in 2011.
The couple tied the knot in 2012 and filed for divorce in 2021. This was Good’s longest reported relationship. She spoke about being mad after their divorce, but during an appearance on Club Shay Shay, she said “there’s nothing that I regret about my marriage, and there’s nothing I regret about the person that I married.”
2. Thomas Quinn Jones
Good and Thomas Quinn Jones dated from 2007 to 2010. Jones is a former NFL player turned actor. Throughout their relationship, the couple made several public appearances.
Although they were very cute together, their relationship ended when Jones reportedly cheated on the actress. After their relationship, Good began practicing celibacy while working on her relationship with God, according to Christian Post. A couple years later, she started dating the man she would later marry.
3. Soulja Boy
In 2008, rumors about Good’s relationship with rapper Soulja Boy started to swirl around the internet. Although they never confirmed their active romance, the two briefly dating from 2008 to 2009.
Soulja Boy, best known for his hit song “Crank That,” was at his peak of stardom during his relationship with Good. After they allegedly ended things, Good clapped back at a fan on X (formally Twitter) saying “No, me and Soulja Boy aren’t together... That ship has sailed. Apparently, he doesn’t like chicks.”
4. Nick Cannon
Hollywood sure knows how to spark up a rumor to promote a film. In the case of TV personality and actor Nick Cannon, rumors about a relationship between him and Good began in 2006 during the promotional tour of the co-stars’ movie Roll Bounce.
In 2016, Good came out to finally deny these allegations. In an interview with the Breakfast Club, Good said “Why would someone print something in a story that I never said and are not true and state it like it’s a fact?”
5. Jamie Foxx
Rumors, rumors, and more rumors followed the actress during the early 2000s when fans began to speculate about a romance between actor and singer Jamie Foxx and Good.
She would go on to deny such baseless rumors about Foxx and even rapper Lil Wayne after a New York Post article listed the two musical icons as exes of the Stomp the Yard actress, according to The Grio.
6. Tyrese Gibson
Although their relationship was never confirmed or denied, actor and singer Tyrese Gibson sparked dating rumors with Good around the time of the release of their 2006 film Waist Deep.
Their alleged romance continued on and off for several years. Regardless, Gibson and Good have remained friends.
7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Good was briefly linked to Inception actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 2005, although nothing was ever confirmed. They both starred in the film Brick, which is likely how the rumors blossomed.
To this day, fans remain obsessed with this unlikely pairing. Levitt went on to marry his wife, Tasha McCauley, in 2014.
8. Hosea Chanchez
Before Good starred alongside actor Hosea Chanchez in the comedy turned drama “The Game” in 2011, she suposedly dated Chanchez back in the late 90s.
There’s not a lot of information on the rumored couple, as Good likes to maintain her privacy, but it seems the pair are now good friends. Fans have seen the two act as lovers on TV and Good spoke out in support of Chanchez after he shared the story of his abuse during his childhood.
Good certainly has a very interesting dating history, but she seems to be quite happy with her current relationship with Creed III actor Jonathan Majors. The pair have been dating since last year, and despite receiving criticism from fans, Good is standing strong by her man.
