Longtime couple actress Meagan Good and her pastor husband DeVon Franklin have ended their marriage. The couple got engaged in May 2012 after meeting on the sets and working together on 'Jumping the Broom'. They married after spending two months as an engaged couple. "After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go into our futures separately but forever connected," the couple said in a joint statement to PEOPLE.
"We celebrate almost a decade of marriage together and a love that is eternal. There's no one at fault, we believe this is the next best chapter in the evolution of our love," their statement continued. "We are incredibly grateful for the life-changing years we've spent together as husband and wife. We are also extremely thankful to God for the testimony being created inside us both and for blessing our lives with each other," they said in conclusion. This announcement comes after they celebrated their ninth anniversary in June this year. 2021 saw a number of famous couples heading for splitsville - including Miguel and Nazanin Mandi, Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook, John Mulaney with Anna Marie Tendler, and Scooter Braun with Yale Cohen among others.

Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin were gearing up to
Good froze her eggs in her late 30s after years of thinking of herself to be someone who isn't the marriage type and someone who didn't want kids. In an interview with Romper, after freezing her eggs, Good said, “When you say you’re not sure you want to be a mom, people look at you like you’re a bad person. As if something’s wrong with you. But I was never really that girl who said, ‘I can’t wait to get married,’ ‘I can’t wait to be a mother.’ I was very much a tomboy, and I started my career so young that I’d always been very business-oriented."
Good's experience of freezing her eggs wasn't a nightmare at all, except for the injections. "I wanted to have someone come inject me because I couldn't ever imagine injecting myself," Good said whose only issue was the "tenderness" that followed. "Once I got used to it, it was like, 'Let’s get this thing done!'" Good continued, “The process gave me peace of mind, 100%. I’m a believer in what the Bible says: ‘Faith without works is dead.’ I have my faith, and freezing my eggs, to be proactive instead of reactive, is me putting in work with my faith. You’ll never regret doing it, but you might really regret not doing it.”
