Inside Meagan Good's Unraveled Marriage with Devon Franklin!
For a long time, nearly ten years to be precise, Meagan and DeVon Franklin were deemed to be the picture-perfect, and enviable couple in the industry. The former couple even preached about thriving relationships and the paragons to keep marriages going.
In their 2017 book, The Wait: A Powerful Practice for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love, Good and Devon unveiled their personal experience and the constructed lessons. The Eve's Bayou actress met Devon, an author, preacher, and producer, on the sets of 2011’s Jumping the Broom, where Franklin was working as an executive.
Sources close to the actress at the time reported how the two started dating almost immediately. "They moved really quickly when they first got together, and DeVon fell super hard for her," a source shared. Good and DeVon complimented each others' lifestyle, and mindset on more than one ground, including their strict religious adherence, and their conviction to remain chaste before marriage.
The pair's romance progressed in a whirlwind fashion and the two decided to settle down within a year of knowing each other. The Shazam actress and her then-beau walked down the aisle on June 16, 2012, in a romantic ceremony in Malibu, California. "DeVon makes me better, makes my life fuller, and completes my quality of life," the then-smitten bride gushed.
During their nearly decade-long marriage, Meagan and DeVon didn't delve into parenthood, albeit the pair did share their desire to welcome one. "I'm trying to get ready for babies," said the actress, adding, "I'm trying to be in the best shape of my life so that I can start from a good point."
While fans waited for the couple to announce the good news, Good and her then-husband dropped the bombshell split news instead. "After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go into our futures separately but forever connected," Good and Franklin wrote in their joint statement in December 2021.

Throughout her journey in the glamorous industry, Good has had her share of romances and heartbreaks. In fact, it was heartbreak that convinced the former Disney actress to choose stability over spark. Meagan was allegedly chaste for two years before she married DeVon.
