Actress Meagan Good reveals ex-husband Devon Franklin initiated their 2021 divorce.

 Meagan Good has finally broken her silence on what really ended her eight-year marriage to DeVon Franklin—and her revelation has stunned fans.

Appearing on The Jason Lee Show podcast, the 43-year-old Harlem star gave a rare glimpse into the private pain behind the public breakup. Contrary to popular speculation, it wasn’t her decision to end the marriage. “He left,” Meagan shared bluntly, confirming that it was DeVon who initiated the split.

Good described the separation as amicable but offered no dramatic scandal or explosive fallout. “It’s not that anybody did anything wrong,” she insisted. “I can’t say that he f—ed that up and I can’t say that I f—ed that up.”

The actress emphasised that the breakup was less about blame and more about growth. “I don’t think either of us failed. If we failed, we failed upwards,” she said with quiet strength. “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.”

Fans had long viewed Meagan and DeVon as a model Hollywood couple—grounded, faith-centred, and committed. The pair met on the set of the 2011 film Jumping the Broom, tied the knot in 2012, and seemed to share a deep bond rooted in spirituality. Their joint book The Wait, which advocated celibacy before marriage, only strengthened that image.

But in December 2021, news broke that Meagan had filed for divorce. At the time, both parties remained tight-lipped, offering little more than a polished statement about mutual love and respect. Now, three years later, Meagan is ready to speak her truth.

“Our perception is our reality,” she reflected on the podcast. “And for me, 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. Anything else, to me, is a waste of time and it’s a waste of energy.”

Despite the heartbreak, the Intruder actress says the experience made her stronger. “I grew a lot. I learned a lot. I got a lot,” she said. “Everything that I have learned, and the ways I have grown, have allowed me to be a better fiancée and ultimately a better wife—but more importantly, a better person.”

Good has largely stayed out of the headlines since the divorce, instead focusing on her acting career and personal healing. In recent months, however, she has begun making more public appearances and speaking more openly about her journey.

While she didn’t dive into the details of what led DeVon to end the marriage, her message was clear: there was no betrayal, no scandal—just a painful, deeply human parting of ways.

As fans digest this new layer of her story, one thing is certain—Meagan Good is owning her narrative and walking into her next chapter with grace, clarity, and unshakable dignity.
