Megan Good and Jonathan Majors are engaged! The couple, who sparked romance rumors back in 2023 during Jonathan’s legal troubles, dropped the big news at the Ebony Power 100 Gala on November 17. Megan looked absolutely glowing on the red carpet, but not everyone is convinced this engagement is all about love.
Social media is buzzing with skepticism, with many calling the announcement a strategic PR move rather than a heartfelt commitment. The timing, critics argue, couldn’t be more suspicious.
Let’s not forget—Jonathan recently went through a messy domestic violence trial, where he was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. He’s reportedly shelled out a fortune in legal and PR fees, lost major acting gigs, and is rumored to be in a tough financial spot. Now, out of nowhere, he and Megan announce their engagement? To some, it feels more like an image rehabilitation attempt than a love story.
Of course, Megan seemed genuinely excited during the announcement, but fans are split. Some are cheering them on, excited to see the couple take the next step in their relationship. Others are side-eyeing the whole thing, wondering if this is all just too convenient.
So, what’s the real deal here? Are Megan and Jonathan proving that love can truly conquer all—or is this just a masterclass in PR damage control?
Either way, their engagement has everyone talking, and it doesn’t look like the speculation will die down anytime soon. What do you think—true love or clever PR?
Jonathan Majors recently found himself in the spotlight, but not for the reasons he’d hoped. After being found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, he’s now serving a court-ordered sentence of 52 weeks in anger management counseling. One missed session, and he faces jail time. Yet, somehow, Jonathan managed to orchestrate not one, but two engagement proposals during this chaotic time.
Instead of focusing on salvaging his career, Jonathan seems intent on showing the world he’s moved on, announcing his engagement to actress Megan Good on the red carpet at the Ebony Power 100 Gala in Los Angeles. Megan proudly flaunted her ring, shutting down breakup rumors, but fans couldn’t help but wonder—how did Jonathan afford two proposals with everything else falling apart?
Career in Crisis
Jonathan’s legal issues have had a devastating impact on his once-promising career. After his arrest, he was dropped by his talent agency, Entertainment 360, and his PR firm, Lede Company. Major studios like Disney and Marvel quickly distanced themselves, halting or canceling projects such as The Man in My Basement and the much-anticipated Kang franchise.
Before this, Jonathan was a rising star, wowing audiences with his performances in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki. But now, with fewer opportunities and mounting legal fees, his financial stability seems to be on shaky ground. This has led to speculation that Megan might have financed her own engagement ring—a move that, while not unheard of, feels at odds with the romanticized image the couple is projecting.
A Convenient Love Story?
The timing of their relationship has also raised eyebrows. Megan, known for her pristine public image, started dating Jonathan just as his reputation hit rock bottom. Coincidence, or a carefully orchestrated partnership? Fans have noticed how quickly Megan stepped into the public role of the “supportive girlfriend,” attending court hearings and showing visible affection toward Jonathan in front of the cameras.
In one recent court appearance, Megan was seen holding Jonathan’s hand and stroking the back of his neck as they waited for his case to be called. While some saw this as a loving gesture, others questioned what she was doing with someone in the middle of such serious legal and career troubles.
Staged Moments?
Critics have also pointed out what they see as staged PR moments. Back in May 2023, TMZ reported that the couple was spotted at a movie theater in Los Angeles. A week later, paparazzi captured them stepping off a plane, with photos appearing suspiciously close and perfectly timed. Many fans believe these “candid” moments were anything but.
The staged vibe continued with photos of a family dinner at Red Lobster with Megan’s mom and sister just days after the airport sighting. It seemed like every move was designed to shape a narrative—one that wasn’t landing with skeptical fans.
Genuine Love or PR Strategy?
While Megan and Jonathan have certainly managed to keep the spotlight on themselves, the question remains: Is their relationship genuine, or is it part of a carefully curated image rehabilitation campaign?
Fans are divided, with some rooting for the couple and others questioning Megan’s motives for aligning herself so publicly with someone facing such significant legal and career struggles. Whether this relationship is based on true love or strategy, one thing is clear—people can’t stop talking about it. Only time will reveal if this engagement is the start of a fresh chapter or just another headline-grabbing spectacle.
Pictures from a recent outing have been circulating online, one of which shows Megan sitting next to Jonathan in a booth. Megan, her mom, and her sister were also photographed leaving a restaurant with flower bouquets—allegedly given to them by Jonathan. It almost seems like he’s playing the role of a “lover boy.”
Now, I could be reading too much into this, but it seems unlikely that the paparazzi just happened to know Jonathan and Megan would be having a family dinner at Red Lobster. The timing of it all feels a little too perfect.
If that wasn’t enough to raise some eyebrows, Megan and Jonathan were later spotted shopping in Fez, Morocco. I mean, celebrities don’t exactly flock to Fez when they want to be seen, do they? It’s a place known for its privacy, comfort, and security. The idea that someone just happened to be lurking around, waiting for them to show up, seems a little far-fetched—especially when they were later spotted shopping in LA just days later, buying rugs of all things.
So yeah, this relationship has definitely been looking suspicious for a while. However, the engagement probably shouldn’t have been a total surprise, considering Jonathan teased it during an interview with TMZ a few months ago.
When asked if he and Megan were planning to get engaged, he responded with:
“Maybe. Of course.”
They asked if they’d had that conversation, and Jonathan said:
“Yeah, for sure.”
And when asked about family support, he confidently confirmed:
“Yeah, for sure.”
It’s hard not to wonder if all of this is part of a bigger PR plan—he’s certainly playing along with the script.
What’s even more interesting is that just days before the engagement news dropped, there were rumors swirling that Megan and Jonathan were on the brink of a breakup. Megan’s team quickly released a statement to TMZ denying the rumors, saying they weren’t broken up and would actually be attending the Ebony 100 Gala together. And right after that, the engagement news came out. Talk about timing.
While we may not know the full truth yet, people have definitely formed their own theories about what’s really going on. Many aren’t buying it, thinking it’s all just a well-executed publicity stunt.
One person commented:
“Everything about this seems like PR. They made a huge announcement about their engagement but were super vague on how it happened. The mention of two proposals and Megan constantly fixing her hair made it look like she wasn’t really sure about it.”
Another person pointed out a serious concern:
“He was convicted of domestic violence, and she’s marrying him? Major red flag.”
On the other hand, some fans are defending them, pointing to how Jonathan expressed deep love and appreciation for Megan during his speech at the Perseverance Award ceremony, where he said:
“I love you. I love you beyond all limits, with all my strength, with all my heart. You’ve carried me so many nights. I love you.”
It’s hard to deny that’s a heartfelt and emotional declaration.
So while some people are still skeptical, others just want to see them happy and wish them all the best.
“People wrote off Jonathan Majors despite the fact that he was innocent. Megan stood by him, and now I’m happy for them. It’s their relationship, and they deserve happiness. Many blessings to them both.”
So what do you think? Are Megan and Jonathan really in it for the long haul, or is it just another Hollywood act? Let me know your thoughts!
