As The Shade Room previously reported, Good’s ex-husband, DeVon Franklin, filed for divorce in December 2021 after they had been married for nine years. While speaking with the ‘TODAY’ hosts, Good explained how her latest film aided her healing.
“I was happy to kind of just like delve into this role because of her journey,” Good explained. “And her journey was one of — once she accepted what was happening, and she realized there was nothing she could do about it, then she had to get excited about the second act of her life. And I understand that feeling very, very intimately, so I wanted to be able to display that because I want women and men to feel like, ‘Yeah, I can do this’ — it seems like something ended, but something beautiful is beginning.”
Good went on to share that she and Franklin have remained friends, and she feels she is a “better person” from that experience.
The Actress Opens Up About Why She Decided To Date Jonathan Majors
As the conversation continued, the hosts brought up Good’s romance with Majors and attempted to inquire about how it began. In turn, Good explained that she wouldn’t dish on how it started. However, she believes their relationship is filled with love, respect, care, and thoughtfulness.
One of the hosts then asked Good if her friends advised her to wait on pursuing a relationship with Majors due to his recent domestic abuse trial, which began in 2023 and concluded earlier this year.
“Uh, yeah, every friend,” Good replied before laughing. “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… and when I move to the beat of my own drum. I can always look and say, ‘Okay, I’m proud of that,’ no matter whatever happens, I have peace in my heart, and I have harmony in my heart…”
Good explained that she takes everyone’s opinions into account. But, “at the end of the day,” she’s the one who has to live her life and “be responsible” for the “choices” that she makes.
“And I also want to live the life that I want to live,” Good concluded.
