Why Did Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin Divorce?
Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin tied the knot in June 2012, and for years, they seemed like one of the happiest couples in showbiz. But like many relationships, things weren’t as perfect as they appeared on the outside.
After nine years of marriage, Franklin filed for divorce in 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences” (via The Root). Even though they tried everything they could to make their marriage work, including therapy and counseling, things just didn’t turn out as they had hoped.
Both Good and Franklin struggled with the breakdown of their relationship, but it became clear that they were no longer meant to be together. The couple made their divorce official in June 2022, just a week after what would have been their 10-year wedding anniversary.
Meagan Good Did Not Want to Divorce DeVon Franklin
While DeVon Franklin may have pulled the plug on their marriage, Meagan Good wasn’t exactly on the same page. In fact, she didn’t want a divorce at all. In her first Essence solo cover interview, Good admitted the split was something she never expected or chose. In her own words, she was “devastated” when it happened, saying:
It’s nothing that I would have ever chosen, and when I realized that it was happening, I was devastated. I was like, ‘This is me, Lord. I did everything that I could do to the best of my ability. I don’t understand why I did all these things, and then this is my end result.’
It was tough. And she really didn’t want to follow in her parents’ footsteps, who also split after 10 years of marriage. Like, can you imagine? The fear of becoming your parents is real, and Good was desperately trying to avoid that fate. The 43-year-old continued:
That was rough because my biggest fear was what happened between my mom and my dad would happen to me, which is you’ve been with your husband for 10 years and you break up. I would say, ‘I’m never getting divorced. I’m in it forever, good, bad, whatever it is, I’m never going to give up. You’re my person, I’m your person, that’s it.’
After some time to heal, Good didn’t let the divorce define her. Sure, it was rough at first, but she eventually came to a place of acceptance. The actress is grateful for the lessons and experiences, and she’s even more excited about what’s coming next.
