Jonathan Majors and PoinbankMeagan Good made their red carpet debut a month before his scheduled sentencing for misdemeanor assault and harassment.
On Sunday, the ex-Marvel star, 34, and the "Harlem" actress, 42, attended the African-American Film Critics Association Special Achievement Awards Luncheon in Los Angeles.
Majors wore a navy sweater over a blue button-down, black paperboy pants and a grey trench coat. He topped off his look with a beret.
Good flaunted her figure in a yellow off-the-shoulder two-piece set with cut-outs to show off her abdominals.
The couple were all smiles on the red carpet and continued to pose together inside the luncheon.
Majors and Good's appearance marks their first time together on the red carpet and his first major outing since his assault trial ended in December.
In an interview with ABC News in January, the "Lovecraft Country" star likened Good's support amid his trial to Coretta Scott King's support of Martin Luther King Jr. amid the Civil Rights Movement.
"She’s an angel. She’s held me down like... a Coretta," he said. "I’m so blessed to have her. "You know, the relationship is still fresh, but, you know, I think I found her."
A six-person jury convicted Majors of assaulting his former girlfriend Grace Jabbari on Dec. 18, 2023, concluding a two-week trial that the actor hoped would salvage his damaged reputation and restore his status as an emerging Hollywood star.

A Manhattan jury found Majors guilty of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation. The "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" star was also acquitted of a different assault charge and of aggravated harassment.
Majors faced eight misdemeanor counts involving assault, aggravated harassment and harassment after his arrest in March 2023 over a confrontation with Jabbari, a British dancer and movement coach, during a car ride in Manhattan. She said he struck her in the head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it fractured.
Majors pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
He is due for sentencing on April 8.
