Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good think “being present” keeps their relationship strong.
The 34-year-old actor — who was recently sentenced to a one-year domestic violence counseling program after being found guilty of harassing and assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in December — and Good support one another by living in the moment and focusing on what life has to offer.
“Presence,” asked how they support one another, Major told People magazine.
“Being present with life. It’s an interesting thing, life. We have to be present in the moment, right now,” his 42-year-old partner agreed.
And Good has learned to stay positive and “just dance no matter what.”
“Whether it’s raining, whether it’s shining, no matter what. This is a moment in life that we never ever get back. We never get this day, we never get this time. We get this in a minute, making everything worth it,” she added.
The Creed III actor noted that “learning” is also key in their one-year relationship.
“I’m in love, I’m transitioning, I’m healing, I’m growing [and] I’m getting excited about what’s next. Yeah, just a lot of things at once. But what I can say is, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time,” Good recently admitted,
“It is like a crazy time in general. I just have peace in my heart and I have joy in my heart, and I love myself and the skin that I’m in and the season that I’m in and the growth that’s happening,” she told People magazine.
“I keep my eyes on God, you know, that’s the focus. And I stay true to myself and I stay authentic. I know what I know that I know. And in time, everything else just catches up with what you know, if you’re true to yourself and you’re authentic.
“There’s some things you just gotta be like, ‘I ain’t got time for that. Let me go see what my nephew’s doing. Let me see what my mama’s doing. Let me go see what my man’s doing. Let me go get this job,’ ” she said.
The couple recently moved in together in New York City’s Greenwich Village and Goof is particularly happy to get to hang out with Majors’ three dogs, Hero, Captain and Bishop.
“They love me. They protect me. They’re so gentle and wonderful and emotional and it blows my mind because I was not a dog person. I like dogs, but I didn’t want one. Now, I have three,” she said.
