<p>Breakups are difficult enough, but divorcing someone while also ushering in a new year can be incredibly taxing. Recently, Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin announced that they&#8217;re <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/meagan-good-and-devon-franklin-announce-divorce-theres-no-one-at-fault-news.145006.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">divorcing after nine years of marriage</a>, and the news came as a shock to their supporters. Over the years, the Christian couple has been open about their relationship as they spoke about waiting until marriage to have sex, and they even co-wrote a book together. </p>
<p>Franklin and Good did share a statement about their split, saying they still have love for one another, but they also posted individual messages about their thoughts as they walk into 2022.</p>

The author and preacher uploaded a tearful selfie that he said he took months ago. He detailed his journey without specifically naming his ex-wife.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not much of a crier so in a moment of deep pain and peace, I took this picture. It captures best how I feel,&#8221; wrote Franklin. &#8220;I share this with you because it is the most honest way to start this year. I know we are starting a new year yet I don’t wish you a Happy New Year…I wish you a Happy True Year. Why? Because just because it’s NEW doesn’t make it TRUE.&#8221;</p>
<p>After more affirmations and a prayer, Franklin added, &#8220;<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/meagan-good-and-devon-franklin-wont-seek-spousal-support-in-divorce-report-news.145071.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">I am fully in pain and peace</a> as we start 2022 and that’s the truest place for me to be.&#8221; He also shared that he&#8217;s taking a break from posting on social media while he figures things out.
