When I avoid facing my feelings, I end up searching for other ways to cope with the pain. By the way, did you hear that Devon Franklin has been crying himself to sleep every night since his divorce from Megan Good? It’s surprising because he was the one who filed for divorce, right? This whole situation has left me with more questions than answers. Did they break up because Devon was too controlling? Was he pressuring Megan to bleach her skin and lose weight? Did Megan really not want to start a family? And what’s all this talk about Devon being on the down-low?
Are you ready for this juicy gossip? We tend to avoid pain and seek comfort, which is understandable. But often, if we don’t allow ourselves to feel, we can’t truly reveal what’s going on inside.
Devon and Megan were married for nearly a decade, and many people remember how Devon consistently defended Megan from criticism by the Christian community over her style and fashion choices. Sadly, in December 2021, Devon filed for divorce. They later released a joint statement confirming their split: “After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go into our futures separately but forever connected. 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. We are incredibly grateful for the life-changing years we’ve spent together as husband and wife.”
At the time of the divorce, sources close to the couple said that the split had been a long time coming due to their work schedules, which often kept them apart, preventing them from spending much time together. While it’s common for Hollywood couples to blame conflicting schedules for their breakups, there’s probably more to Devon and Megan’s story. This marriage showed many red flags, and I think a lot of people feel the same way. They might be keeping details private out of respect for each other, which is understandable. However, it seems likely that their personalities and lifestyles were too different, making it difficult to compromise and maintain their marriage.
It seems like they’ve been giving one interview after another about their divorce, and honestly, it’s getting a bit old. Back in January 2023, Megan spilled the beans on The View about how the divorce helped her find herself again. She said, “You know, I feel like I get to start my life over in some ways and have like a second chance at whatever’s supposed to be next, and so I’m really embracing that, excited about it, and I don’t know what to expect, and that’s kind of amazing.”
Then, just a few weeks back, Megan opened up to Essence and dropped the bomb that Devon was the one who called it quits. Despite being heartbroken, she didn’t point fingers at her ex. She said, “It’s nothing that I would ever have chosen, and when I realized that it was happening, I was devastated. I was like, ‘This is me, Lord. I did everything that I could do to the best of my ability. I don’t understand why I did all these things, and then this is my end result.'”
Megan made it clear that neither she nor Devon did anything shady to end things, and their book The Wait: A Powerful Practice for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love was legit. Remember, they wrote about abstaining from sex until marriage, hoping it’d lead to a forever kind of love. But hey, even with all that, their marriage still hit the rocks. Megan also spilled that the divorce hit her hard because she didn’t want to repeat her parents’ story—they split after a decade together.
Devon has been remarkably open about his divorce journey. Back in December 2022, he sat down at the Red Table and poured out his heart, expressing how divorce blindsided him. He vividly described the stark reality of seeing “an unmarried man” written on his property contract, highlighting the profound shift from marital bliss to heartbreak. More recently, on the Tamron Hall Show, Devon spoke of allowing himself to feel the pain, emphasizing the importance of embracing it as a teacher on the path to healing.
In another candid interview on The Breakfast Club, Devon admitted to nights spent shedding tears over his split from Megan Good. Despite appearing composed during public appearances, he stressed that his emotional stability was a result of a continuous inner struggle.
However, despite their openness, public opinion still speculates on the deeper reasons behind their divorce. Many believe that fundamental personality differences, exacerbated by Megan’s public persona and the accompanying scrutiny, may have played a significant role in their marital troubles.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about Megan’s reluctance to start a family with Devon. Despite what she shared in her Essence interview about the divorce not being solely about that, some folks think it might’ve played a role in Devon pulling the trigger. Then there’s this ongoing rumor mill about Devon’s real character, despite his whole positive vibe thing. It’s wild—some say he had Megan feeling like she needed to change herself, which is crazy because she’s stunning as is. And there’s this story floating around about Megan whispering her every move to Devon from a bathroom stall, painting a picture of him being super controlling throughout their marriage.
Others point to how Megan’s career took off after they split as evidence of Devon’s alleged grip on her professional life. Before the divorce, it was strange how little we saw of her on screen, especially given her background in the industry. Some even wonder if Devon’s control extended to Megan keeping quiet about rumors concerning his sexuality.
And then there’s the whole cheating thing. Megan’s denied it, but people talk, you know? But let’s not get too deep into those rumors without some solid proof. They’re out there, though, along with whispers about Devon’s sexuality. It’s all just speculation for now.
There’s a group of people out there who argue that Devon isn’t as much of a mess as everyone seems to think. They point to moments where he stood up for his wife, even when she was under fire from church folks during his speaking engagements. And let’s not forget when their private photos leaked – he didn’t abandon her; he stayed loyal. Maybe, just maybe, the decision to call it quits was more about something Megan did, and Devon’s just keeping it quiet. Then there’s this whole theory that their whole relationship was just a PR stunt orchestrated to boost Devon’s career. They say he wanted to use his faith to clean up Megan’s image and help her become a serious actress through his production company. But, well, it didn’t quite work out that way. Megan couldn’t quite shake off her party girl reputation, and her acting skills weren’t up to par. Maybe Devon just got fed up with it all.
That’s the word on the street. Personally, I can’t claim to know the full story. But it feels like there’s more going on here than meets the eye. What do you think? Do any of these rumors strike a chord with you? Let me know in the comments below.
