By the end of 2024, the couple announced their engagement at the EBONY Power 100 Gala, proving that their bond was unshakable. Speaking on their relationship in July 2024, Meagan shared in an interview with TODAY, “The support that we’ve been able to give each other, the pouring into each other, the honest conversations, the love, the respect, just the care and the thoughtfulness. It’s been just really wonderful.”

Meagan later told EBONY after the engagement that her relationship with Jonathan has taught her ”about unconditional love.” “What it means to be loved in the fullness of who you are and to love someone who brings out the best in you,” Megan said about her romance with the Lovecraft Country alum, adding that their romance has been “an amazing journey, and I cherish it deeply.”
Jonathan, just as smitten, said about Meagan, “I love you beyond limit, with all my strength, with all my heart.” Their love story is a reminder that relationships aren’t about public opinion—they’re about the connection between two people and the ways they show up for each other when it matters most.

While Meagan was navigating a new chapter with Jonathan, DeVon was on his own journey of self-discovery, healing, and eventually, new love. Enter Maria Castillo, a celebrity trainer who completely changed his perspective on what was possible in love. On February 14, DeVon surprised Maria with a breathtaking proposal in Maui. In true Hollywood fashion, he produced a moment she would never forget.
“You know I’m a producer, so I wanted to produce a proposal that she would never forget. To do that, I knew it had to be a surprise,” Devon explained on Instagram.

To pull it off, DeVon told Maria they were doing a photo shoot in Maui, hiring a videographer and even using a drone to capture the moment. With the help of a production team, he planned each location, waiting for the perfect moment to get down on one knee. He opened up on social media about the emotional work it took to heal, admitting that he had to come to terms with his own pain, allow himself to cry, and let go of the idea of perfection.
“It took me a lot of work on my heart to get to this moment,” he wrote on Instagram. “Over the last few years, I had to sit in isolation and give myself the time to process the why, when, what, and how of my life. I had to learn to not look for love but to become more loving… Love is our divine design. I learned we must not close our heart, no matter the pain.”
For DeVon, meeting Maria was an act of divine timing. His heartfelt words show that sometimes, love comes when you least expect it, but exactly when you need it. “If you look up the word love in the dictionary, you will find Maria’s picture. It’s an honor to begin this chapter of life with you,” Devon said.
Meagan and DeVon’s journeys prove that even after heartbreak, love is still possible. Here are a few takeaways from their experiences that can help others navigating their own love lives:
1. Healing Takes Time, and That’s Okay
Both Meagan and DeVon took time after their divorce to reflect, heal, and grow. DeVon was open about his process of self-examination and emotional healing, reminding us that rushing into something new before processing the past can do more harm than good.
2. Love Can Find You When You Least Expect It
Neither Meagan nor DeVon went looking for love, but they remained open to it. Meagan’s relationship with Jonathan blossomed in a way she may not have expected, and DeVon’s connection with Maria felt like divine intervention. Sometimes, love finds us when we’re not searching.
3. Love Looks Different for Everyone
Meagan’s relationship with Jonathan and DeVon’s with Maria show that love comes in many forms. What matters is how someone makes you feel, how they support your growth, and how they show up for you in the moments that matter.
4. The End of One Love Story Doesn’t Mean the End of Love
Divorce doesn’t mean failure. For Meagan and DeVon, their split was not the end of their love stories—it was the beginning of new ones. Their experiences show that love doesn’t always look the way we thought it would, but that doesn’t make it any less real or meaningful.
