Devon Franklin has sparked rumors of a new romance with celebrity fitness trainer Maria Castillo. The pair were both spotted posting vacation pictures from Cabo, Mexico, around the same time in early September 2024. Fans quickly noticed the similarities in their social media posts, particularly a matching silver chain seen in both Maria’s and Devon’s photos, leading to speculation that they were vacationing together. Their followers pointed out that this could be more than just a coincidence, and with Devon and Maria following each other on Instagram, rumors of a romantic connection are only growing stronger(Rolling Out)(Atlanta Black Star).
Maria Castillo has a strong presence in the fitness world. She’s worked with notable celebrities, including Angela Simmons and other well-known figures. Maria’s journey into the fitness industry began when she discovered she had hereditary heart issues at just 18. This revelation inspired her to make a major life change, moving to Los Angeles and launching her fitness brand, Flawed&Fit. She’s also involved in nonprofit work, serving as a head coach with Strides In Recovery, a group focused on helping individuals maintain sobriety through exercise. Her commitment to fitness and wellness has earned her a strong following and a reputation as a sought-after trainer(theJasmineBRAND)(Rolling Out).
For Devon, this rumored relationship comes nearly two years after his divorce from actress Meagan Good. The two were married for almost a decade before parting ways in 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. Their split was amicable, and in a joint statement, they expressed gratitude for the time they spent together. Devon has been relatively quiet about his love life since the divorce, though he was seen holding hands with a mystery woman in Los Angeles earlier in 2024(Atlanta Black Star)(theJasmineBRAND).
Meagan, on the other hand, has moved on publicly with actor Jonathan Majors, a relationship that also attracted attention due to the legal troubles surrounding Majors. Devon, however, has maintained a positive attitude about Meagan’s new relationship, even stating in interviews that he’s happy for her.
In a June 2023 interview on The Breakfast Club, Devon Franklin opened up about his feelings regarding his ex-wife Meagan Good’s relationship with actor Jonathan Majors. Devon, while candid about his emotional healing journey, made it clear that he holds no bitterness or ill will towards Meagan or her new relationship. When asked if seeing them together upset him, Devon responded, “Upset? No. She’s happy, that’s a blessing.” He emphasized the importance of not harboring negativity, stating that holding onto negative emotions would only bring negativity back into his life. However, he did admit that there are still feelings, saying, “I think that, you know, there are feelings. And I’ll leave it at that.”
