Tyler Perry premiered his new film, Divorce In The Black, starring Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict in New York City Monday (July 8). With fellow cast mates in attendance including Taylor Polidore, Shannon Wallace, Richard Lawson, Debbi Morgan, and Joseph Lee Anderson, the actual star of the evening were Good’s abs.
She flaunted her toned physique in a Laquan Smith dress, crediting her boyfriend Jonathan Majors for getting her to feel her best at 43. The divorcee explained to Extra, “He just has a crazy workout. He’s consistent. He’s like the 5 a.m. crew, I’m like the 10 a.m. crew, but we get it in and it’s been a blessing.”
Good also dished to the outlet that she leans on Majors for motivation in life as a whole. “We just cover each other. You know, pray together, talk about everything, talk through everything, have just real honest conversations, have fun together, dance together a lot, sing together a lot, road trip together a lot, raise dogs together, and all the good things,” she expressed.
She took this sentiment with her as she praised her Divorce In The Black co-star. When speaking on Hardrict, Good shared, “Cory is just an incredible person. I think that he really put his family first… I just want to see him win. Not that it’s my place to say, but I feel that he deserves it and he’s just an incredible actor.”
The film centers around Ava (Good), a young bank professional who is left heartbroken when her husband Dallas (Hardrict) abandons their marriage, which she’s steadfast on fighting for. Yet when fate intervenes and shows how Dallas intentionally sabotaged their relationship, she now finds herself fighting for love with her soulmate.
Good opened up about the challenge it took to portray Ava authentically with The Root. “I was able to just kind of go somewhere that I haven’t gone before with that challenge. At first, it felt weird because it was so different than how I would approach something to protect myself, per se. But with this, it was like it brought something different out of me. And I was really, really happy with the finished product. And when I saw it, I think that you’ll see some different sides, different things as you do in all characters, but also just for me, period. That’s growth.”
Divorce In The Black premieres on Prime Video on July 11.
