Devon Franklin has joined the hit Lifetime show “Married At First Sight” as an expert in the upcoming season.
On Thursday, Franklin shared with his Instagram followers the news of his upcoming business venture. Franklin will be joining the Lifetime series’ regular relationship advisors, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Calvin Roberson, and Dr. Pia Holec. The four experts will provide guidance to the couples in the new season.
In his post, Franklin revealed that the show approached him before he parted ways with ex-wife Meagan Good. He added that the show told him that his divorce “didn’t matter to them because they still felt like I could help their couples.”
“I was going to tell them ‘No’ because I felt shame, and that voice in my head said, ‘you’re a failure. How can you help anybody save their marriage when yours didn’t work out,” Franklin wrote. “That voice in my head also had me thinking about what would ‘people’ say? Would ‘people’ approve or disapprove? And then I had to ask myself: Is this how I’m going to live the rest of my life? In fear about what ‘people’ say? And who are ‘people’ anyway? So I went back to the @mafslifetime team and told them YES, I’ll still come. I REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR OR SHAME!”
Franklin filed for divorce from Meagan Good in December 2021 for “irreconcilable differences.” The two got married on June 16, 2012 and have no children together. The former couple met on the set of the 2011 film, “Jumping The Broom” and got engaged in May 2012.
