Relax, Internet. Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good Aren’t Married

The Marvel star sparked rumors of alleged nuptial over the weekend thanks to one little word.

Are there wedding bells in the near future for Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good? The internet seems to think so and I’ll tell you why.

Video will return here when scrolled back into view

Thanks to footage that began circulating over the weekend on social media, many are wondering if the Marvel star and the DC star have said β€œI DO.” In the clip, you can hear Good, dressed in white, talking to a crowd of folks at the Congressional Black Caucus’ eighth annual Black and White Gala co-hosted by her and Larenz Tate in Washington D.C.

β€œWe’re just so happy to be here with y’all tonight, celebrating us, celebrating the moves we’re making, celebrating the way we love and support each other, the way that we shift the world. Let’s enjoy ourselves,” the Harlem actress said. β€œSo many beautiful Black faces. I love us, y’all! We are so beautiful! That’s all I got. I’m just happy to be here and I love y’all!”

Referring to the Ant-Man actor, Good then turned to him and asked: β€œBabe, you want to say anything?” Majors then responded, β€œY’all heard the missus, so that’s what it is.”

Well, as you could expect, it was the β€œmissus” that got folks in a tizzy. However, and I really I hate to be the bearer or bad news, but seeing as how Majors is a true Southernerβ€”a Texas boy at thatβ€”with an old soul, β€œmissus” doesn’t necessarily mean wife in this context. As someone also from the South (Arkansas and Louisiana, to be exact) β€œmissus” is almost always used in reference to the woman you’re with regardless of if you all are married or not. It’s akin to β€œold/ole lady”—you’re really calling the woman you’re with old, it’s just a colloquialism.

That being said, I think we ought to pump the breaks on the wedding bells, huh? They’ll let us know when they’ve taken things to another level.
