Meagan Good Says Ex DeVon Franklin Is a 'Wonderful Man' and She Doesn't Regret Their Marriage (Exclusive)
"There's nothing that I regret about my marriage, and there's nothing I regret about the person that I married," she says
Meagan Good has no regrets about her marriage with ex-husband DeVon Franklin.
The actress, who is currently dating Jonathan Majors, married Franklin in 2012, before they later announced their divorce in December 2021. Good, 42, tells PEOPLE in this week's issue that she'll "always" see Franklin, 46, as a "beautiful human being regardless" of their breakup.
"When I say regardless, it's not that he did anything. I mean regardless of the marriage ending and me disappointing and being disappointed and all that," she says, adding, "What I will say is I think that we gave a lot and we got a lot. There's nothing that I regret about my marriage, and there's nothing I regret about the person that I married."
Good says, "I'm actually very, very thankful for that experience and how it's helped me grow. I'm thankful for what I gave to him, and he's thankful for it. And I'm thankful for what he gave to me, and he knows that I'm thankful for it."

Good calls Franklin "a wonderful human being, a beautiful human being." During their breakup, "nevertheless, I still was incredibly hurt. I still was incredibly devastated. I was incredibly angry, as I'm sure that he was as well."
The actress, who tackles a crumbling marriage via a "therapeutic" role in the new Tyler Perry film Divorce in the Black, says she and Franklin are "still friends" and "there's still genuine love" between them.
"When he finds his person, I'm going to be happy for him, and I want that for him," says Good.

When they later decided to be a couple, she says Majors eventually "tried to encourage me not to be with him" as he faced misdemeanor charges of domestic assault against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
"He wanted to protect me," says Good, who showed up to court to support Majors throughout the trial. (He was found guilty on two counts of assault and harassment and sentenced to attend a year-long domestic violence intervention program.)
