For Meagan Good, her newest film was especially personal.
After all, when the 42-year-old portrayed Ava in Divorce in the Black—a character whose marriage falls apart—while her relationship with now ex-husband DeVon Franklin came to an end after almost 10 years of marriage.
It’s one of the ways she was able to relate to her character’s journey.
“A big part of the journey was discovering that when it feels like your life is ending, sometimes it’s really just beginning,” she told E! News’ Francesca Amiker of the lessons she learned while making the film. “And there’s a blessing even in what feels like one of the worst moments of your life.”
She continued, “And then trusting that process, about your perception and your attitude and how you approach it and your mentality. And so that’s something I think I could relate to the most.”
At the end of December 2021, Meagan and DeVon first announced they were parting ways.
