Meagan Good is supporting Jonathan Majors as he faces domestic violence charges.

Majors appeared at a hearing on the fourth floor of the Manhattan Criminal Court Tuesday, and his girlfriend, Good, sat on his left, showing support by putting her left arm around his shoulders.

Majors' trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 3.

The Messenger confirmed last month that Good and the Creed III star are dating.

The new romance comes as Majors prepares for trial.

He was arrested on March 25 in New York City and charged with assault, attempted assault, harassment and aggravated harassment after a domestic dispute with a then unnamed 30-year-old woman allegedly led to her being hospitalized with minor injuries.

The Emmy Award nominee is accused of striking the victim near "the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear." She also alleged in the complaint that Majors grabbed her hand, "causing swelling, bruising and substantial pain to her finger," and that he "put his hand on her neck, causing bruising and substantial pain."

Although his attorney Priya Chaudhry said Majors "completely denies assaulting the woman" and shared text messages in which she appears to have recanted the allegations, more alleged victims have reportedly come forward with one being granted a temporary order of protection.

Majors has since been dropped by his management and public relations firms, as well as several onscreen projects.

Chaudhry called the allegations a "witch hunt" and accused the arresting officers of racial bias following a hearing in May, during which the district attorney presented a revised misdemeanor assault charge.
