Mia Goth files for divorce from Shia LaBeouf

Mia Goth has filed for divorce from actor Shia LaBeouf after nearly a decade of marriage, marking another major chapter in the couple’s complicated relationship.

The Pearl actress submitted divorce documents on Tuesday night, October 6, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation. The filing comes more than a year after the couple reportedly ended their relationship privately.

Mia Goth seeks primary custody of daughter

Along with ending her marriage, Goth has requested primary legal and physical custody of the couple’s four-year-old daughter, Isabel.

The actress is also asking the court to prevent either her or LaBeouf from receiving spousal support. Her requests regarding custody and financial support will now be addressed as the divorce proceedings move forward.

The couple’s official date of separation is listed as July 28, 2025, in the divorce documents.

Although their relationship had already come to an end by that time, the former couple managed to keep the split largely private. Details about their separation emerged publicly several months later amid reports surrounding LaBeouf’s arrest in New Orleans.

Shia LaBeouf faced arrest after reported brawl

In February 2026, reports surfaced that LaBeouf had been separated from Goth for almost a year. The news came around the time the actor was arrested following an alleged drunken confrontation during the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans.

LaBeouf was reportedly taken into custody after an altercation and was expected to face court proceedings over two counts of simple battery.

The incident added further attention to the actor’s personal life, particularly as his relationship with Goth had already reportedly been experiencing difficulties.

Shia LaBeouf admits he failed his marriage

A month after reports about their separation became public, LaBeouf spoke openly about the breakdown of his marriage.

During an interview in March, the actor reflected on his relationship with Goth and admitted that he believed he had failed in the marriage.

LaBeouf acknowledged that the couple had been deeply unhappy and said he had made several mistakes earlier in their relationship, particularly before they decided to have a child together.

The actor also admitted that he had seriously damaged Goth’s trust.

Despite discussing the difficult period in their relationship, LaBeouf continued to speak highly of his former wife. He described Goth as an incredible woman and praised her character while expressing admiration for her.

His comments suggested that, despite the end of their marriage, he still holds Goth in high regard.

Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf’s relationship

Goth and LaBeouf first became romantically linked in 2012. Their relationship was often marked by periods of separation and reconciliation before they eventually married.

The couple tied the knot in 2016, but their marriage did not last long at the time. They separated in 2018 before reconnecting several years later.

In 2020, Goth and LaBeouf reunited and appeared to rebuild their relationship away from the spotlight. Their family grew in 2022 when they welcomed their daughter, Isabel.

For a time, the couple kept their family life relatively private while continuing to work on their respective careers.

However, their relationship eventually came to an end, with the documents now confirming that they had separated in July 2025.

Goth’s latest divorce filing officially begins the legal process of ending their marriage. The former couple will now have to work through custody arrangements and other matters concerning their daughter as they move forward separately.

While both actors have experienced significant changes in their personal lives, their focus will likely remain on co-parenting Isabel and navigating the next stage of their relationship as former partners.
