“It’s not that anybody did anything wrong. I can’t say that he f—ed that up and I can’t say that I f—ed that up,” Good expressed. She emphasised that both she and Franklin have undergone a substantial amount of healing and personal growth since their separation. Good highlighted that in her perspective, their marriage wasn’t a failure, but rather a period of significant learning and evolution. She stated, “I don’t think that any time was wasted. I think that everything in life, every single season, you do learn so much, and you do grow so much, and you give so much, and you do get so much.”
Throughout the podcast, Good also reflected on her current relationship with actor Jonathan Majors. The pair started dating in May 2023 and got engaged in November 2024, with their nuptials confirmed by a source in March 2025. Good acknowledged the controversy surrounding Majors’ past legal issues, including an incident in March 2023 where he was accused of assaulting a woman. Despite these challenges, Good underscored that their relationship started as a friendship and she remains committed to supporting Majors through any difficulties. She stressed the importance of standing by someone’s side, even during challenging times, especially when you believe in the quality of that person’s character.
Reflecting on her past experiences, Good expressed gratitude for the personal growth and insights gained from her marriage to Franklin. She believes that every season of life offers valuable lessons and opportunities for development. Good also shared her perspective on choosing to prioritise her own well-being and that of her partner in every season of life. She affirmed, “It’s my conscious mind in every single season to choose what best serves my quality of life and best serves the other person’s quality of life.”
The actress emphasised that her journey with Franklin has equipped her to be a better partner in her current and future relationships. She acknowledged the importance of learning, evolving, and ultimately becoming a better version of oneself through life experiences. Good highlighted that the insights gained from her past marriage have contributed to her growth as a fiancée, wife, and most importantly, as a person.
In another development, PEOPLE confirmed in February 2025 that Franklin became engaged to Maria Castillo, his girlfriend of a year and a well-known celebrity trainer. This news comes after Good revealed her engagement to Jonathan Majors and reflected on the valuable lessons learned from her previous marriage. As both Good and Franklin embark on new chapters in their personal lives, they continue to inspire others with their resilience, growth, and commitment to personal development.
Overall, Good’s open and honest reflections on her past marriage provide a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
