Prior to her time with Jonathan, Meagan was married to DeVon Franklin. The pair separated in December 2021 after nine years together. The split devastated Meagan.

The duo also spent Meagan’s birthday together. Just Jared obtained photos of the couple on August 10, enjoying a stroll in Hollywood.

In September 2023, Jonathan and Meagan attended the Congressional Black Caucus' eighth annual Black and White Gala, which was co-hosted by Meagan and Larenz Tate.
