Debbi Morgan is happy to see Meagan Good happy.

Speaking with PEOPLE at the New York City premiere of their new movie, Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black, on Monday, July 8, Morgan, 72, said, "I don't know much about [Meagan's] relationship with Jonathan [Majors]. It's just every time I see her, she has a big smile on her face, so it must mean something."

And while they were filming the Tyler Perry project, Morgan said Majors, 34, "came to set with [Meagan] one day and she introduced us and I told him I was a big fan of his work."

"And I looked at him and I looked at her and I thought, 'I bet this is going to work,'" the All My Children actress continued, adding of Good, 42, "She deserves it."

Good and Majors were first linked after they were spotted on a movie date together. Reports of their relationship came two months after the Creed III actor was charged with physically assaulting a woman while riding in a New York taxi cab in March 2023.

In December 2023, Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor assault in the third degree, recklessly causing physical injury and harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. He was later sentenced to participate in a one-year domestic-violence-treatment program.

In a March interview with PEOPLE, Good discussed her mental health and self-care tactics during this “crazy time” and the chatter about her relationship with Majors amid his legal issues.

“I keep my eyes on God, you know, that’s the focus,” she said at the time. “And I stay true to myself and I stay authentic. I know what I know that I know. And in time, everything else just catches up with what you know, if you’re true to yourself and you’re authentic.”

“There’s some things you just gotta be like, ‘I ain’t got time for that. Let me go see what my nephew’s doing. Let me see what my mama’s doing. Let me go see what my man’s doing. Let me go get this job,’ ” Good added.

Majors and Good have moved in together in N.Y.C.’s Greenwich Village neighborhood and visited Majors’ mom in Texas during a cross-country trip from Los Angeles to Manhattan, a source told PEOPLE in February.

They have also made multiple red-carpet appearances together over the past few months, most recently at Monday's movie premiere and, before that, at the 4th Annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards on June 21.

“I'm in love, I’m transitioning, I’m healing, I’m growing [and] I’m getting excited about what's next,” Good told PEOPLE in March, nodding to her relationship with Majors. “Yeah, just a lot of things at once. But what I can say is, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time," she added.

Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black is available to stream starting Thursday, July 11 on Prime Video.
