Jonathan Majors says his wife Meagan Good sacrificed a lot by standing by his side.
On Friday, March 21, just days after publicly announcing he and the Harlem actress, 43, secretly tied the knot, the Marvel star, 35, told The Breakfast Club what their relationship cost Good.
“I told her from the jump, this ‘gon be crazy. This ‘gon be wild,” Majors said during an appearance on a Power 105.1 radio show, referring to the fallout from him being found guilty of two counts of misdemeanor assault and harassment against a former girlfriend in December 2023.
During the show, one host noted that Good was a respected actress long before her relationship with Majors, leaving many to wonder, “’Meagan Good, why are you doing this?’ ”
He admitted, “Yeah, I had a lot of that.”
“We’re in a relationship, now we’re in a marriage,” Majors said. “I’ll keep it straight. We have moments of like, ‘Hey babe, it’s cool. I love you more than I can imagine, but this ship’s going down.’ ”
“I’m Jack. You let go of me and you go get it,” he said, making a reference to Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jack Dawson in Titanic.
The Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania actor added, “That was a big thing and she took so many hits because of it.”
Majors continued, “I don’t think she mind me saying, they weren’t announcing it, but she lost endorsements, we got uninvited to stuff. She got uninvited to stuff because she had shown just how down she was and they knew if Meg was coming, Jay’s coming.”
“She took an incredible hit,” he said.
Majors also admitted that “a lot of our work” is “socializing,” but his situation made it hard for the couple to do so.
On Tuesday, March 18, a source told PEOPLE the two actors were married.
“They truly care for one another,” the insider added.
The following day, the Lovecraft Country star announced his marriage to Good during a Wednesday, March 19 appearance on Sherri to promote his new film, Magazine Dreams.
“I said to Meagan yesterday, I said, ‘Today might be the happiest day of my life,’ ” said Majors, who began to tear up. “I love that woman so much. So how it had happened — well, Lord, Sherri thank you. We fell in love.”
“We finally got to do it, but it was always the plan,” he added.
He revealed that he went the traditional route, asking Good’s father for his permission to propose to the Think Like a Man actress.

Majors also said that his mother, who is a pastor, officiated the ceremony.
“We had my mom come, and she came to the L.A. screening [of Magazine Dreams]. My mother had never been to one of my screenings. And we had told her that, ‘Hey, we’re gonna do this thing.’ And we did. My mother married us yesterday. Her mother was there.”
Good was previously married to pastor DeVon Franklin, from whom she finalized her divorce in June 2022.
