Mia Goth files for divorce from Shia LaBeouf after nearly 10 years

Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf are officially heading toward divorce after nearly a decade of marriage. The British actress filed to end their relationship on October 6, 2026, bringing another chapter of their complicated romance into the spotlight. The couple, who share a four-year-old daughter, had reportedly separated more than a year before the filing.

Mia Goth Seeks Primary Custody of Their Daughter

According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Goth, 32, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. The petition lists July 28, 2025, as the date of separation, confirming that the couple had been living apart for more than a year.

Goth is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel, while requesting visitation rights for LaBeouf. She has also asked the court to prevent either party from receiving spousal support.

These requests are part of the divorce petition, and no final custody decision has been announced. LaBeouf’s response to the filing was not immediately available, and representatives for both actors did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A Relationship That Began in 2012

Goth and LaBeouf first met in 2012 while working on the film Nymphomaniac: Vol. II. Their relationship developed during filming, and they soon became a couple.

They married in Las Vegas in October 2016. However, their relationship faced difficulties, and the pair announced their separation in 2018. At the time, they also indicated that they planned to divorce, but they remained legally married.

The two eventually reconciled in 2020 and later welcomed their daughter in March 2022. Their family life appeared to mark a new chapter after years of public ups and downs.

By early 2026, reports had emerged that the couple had separated again. The latest court documents now put a date on that split, identifying July 28, 2025, as the end of their relationship as a married couple.

Shia LaBeouf Has Spoken About Their Marriage

LaBeouf has previously spoken publicly about the difficulties in his relationship with Goth. In an interview with Andrew Callaghan, he acknowledged his role in the breakdown of their marriage, saying he felt he had failed her and needed to take responsibility for his actions.

He also described their relationship as deeply unhappy, despite praising Goth and expressing admiration for her. His comments offered a rare glimpse into the personal problems behind their separation, although the divorce filing itself cites irreconcilable differences rather than providing a detailed account of what happened between them.

Divorce Filing Comes Amid Other Legal Headlines

The divorce news also arrives during a difficult period for LaBeouf. In June 2026, he pleaded guilty to three counts of simple battery following a February altercation in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. He was sentenced to probation and ordered to complete rehabilitation and other court requirements.

The filing also came one day after a separate legal dispute involving his former partner, singer FKA twigs, reached a resolution. Twigs had previously accused LaBeouf of abuse in a 2020 lawsuit, which was settled. A later dispute concerned confidentiality provisions in that settlement; the parties subsequently agreed to terminate those provisions, and Twigs moved to dismiss the new case. The allegations in the original lawsuit should be distinguished from the criminal battery case, to which LaBeouf pleaded guilty.

What Happens Next for Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf?

The divorce process will now determine the remaining legal issues, including custody arrangements and any other matters raised in the petition. Goth’s request for primary custody is not a final ruling, and LaBeouf’s visitation arrangements have yet to be decided by the court.

For now, the filing marks the latest development in a relationship that has lasted more than a decade, included a marriage and reconciliation, and produced one child. Neither actor has publicly issued a detailed statement about the divorce.

Goth, known for films including Pearl, X and MaXXXine, continues to build her career in film. LaBeouf rose to fame as a child actor before starring in projects such as Transformers and Honey Boy. Their divorce now places the focus on how they will move forward separately while navigating co-parenting and the legal process.
