Halle Berryhas been showing love toMeagan Goodsince the week she got married — and as Good explains, she’s extended that supportduring her divorce, too.
Opening up about her admiration for Berry, 56, during an episode of theJennifer Hudson Showthat aired Monday, Good, 41, said that outside of following each other on Instagram and sharing one heartfelt conversation in particular, Berry has offered her an ear during the difficult times as well.
“We share the same makeup artist, shoutout to Jorge back there,” Good told Hudson. “He was saying, she was wanting to know [if] she should reach out to me when I was going through my divorce. So I was just like, that’s really sweet that there was a lot of support and love.”
Good and her former husband DeVon Franklin filed for divorce after nine years of marriage in December 2021. They first met on the set of the 2011 filmJumping the Broom, gotengagedin May 2012 andwedin June 2012 — the same month when she apparently first met Berry.
During her appearance on Hudson’s show, theHarlemactress told the exact story of how she and Berry met at a restaurant, when Good was contemplating if she should greet her or not. Ultimately, she decided she’d do so when Berry was done eating, and opened with “Hi, I’m Meagan,” before the fellow actress responded with “I know who you are.”
“I was like, ‘I love you so much, you’ve been such an inspiration to me. I know you’ve gone through so many things publicly and privately and in your career, and you’re just so strong.’ And she got emotional, and I got emotional,” Good recalled to Hudson.
Berry wasn’t the only person to show kindness toward Good amid her divorce.
The star has also creditedWhoopi Goldbergas being “instrumental” in the process thanks to conversations they had. On an episode ofThe Viewlast month, Good saluted the host, 67, and opened up about the process of having “rediscovered myself in a lot of ways.”
“Also I gotta say again, Whoopi was very instrumental in that, because we had some really good conversations I needed to have that were illuminating for me and eye-opening for me,” Good said.
At the time, Good noted she’d been “really excited about what’s next,” adding, “I’m like, ‘All right, Lord, if you allowed it, what’s next, Dad?’ It’s exciting for me low-key. I feel like I get to start my life over in some ways and have a second chance at whatever’s supposed to be next.”
She continued, “I’m really embracing that, excited about it. I don’t know what to expect and that’s kind of amazing.”
