Mia Goth Files for Divorce From Shia LaBeouf

October 8, 2026

Mia Goth has officially filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf after a decade of marriage. The 32-year-old actress submitted a petition for dissolution of marriage in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, October 6, citing “irreconcilable differences” and listing their date of separation as July 28, 2025. Goth is seeking primary custody of their 4-year-old daughter and has asked the court to block spousal support for either side.

What did Mia Goth file in the divorce papers?

According to court documents obtained by USA Today, Goth filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, October 6. In the filing, she listed July 28, 2025 as the date of separation and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending the marriage.

Goth requested primary legal and physical custody of the couple’s daughter, Isabel, who was born in March 2022, while asking that visitation be granted to LaBeouf. The actress also asked the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to either party — meaning neither she nor the Transformers star would receive alimony — and requested that each of them cover their own attorney’s fees and costs.

Representatives for both Goth and LaBeouf were contacted for comment, but neither has publicly responded to the filing yet. TMZ was the first outlet to report that the divorce petition had been filed, with the story picked up overnight by major outlets including People, Page Six, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly.

Why did Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf separate?

The formal filing follows months of quiet separation. News that the couple had split broke in February, when sources said they had already been apart for nearly a year. A source told People at the time that their relationship “has always been complicated,” adding: “They weren’t getting along and had a lot of drama last year.”

The same source said Goth “encouraged” LaBeouf to move out of their Los Angeles home and that he had relocated to New Orleans to be closer to his family. That same month, LaBeouf made headlines after getting into a physical altercation at a bar during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans. He was arrested on February 17 and later pleaded guilty in June to misdemeanor battery charges, receiving two years of probation along with court-ordered alcohol abuse rehabilitation, sensitivity training, and anger management classes.

In March, LaBeouf spoke about the split during an appearance on “Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan,” admitting he was at fault in the marriage’s breakdown. “We were deeply unhappy,” he said. “I made a lot of mistakes early on before we tried to have a baby. I had violated trust in a big, big way.” Despite the split, he spoke warmly of Goth: “That’s one of the best girls that ever lived. She’s incredible, that woman. Incredible… all the time. 10 out of 10.”

How long were Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf together?

Goth and LaBeouf have been linked on and off since 2012, when they met on the set of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Vol. II. They married in a Las Vegas ceremony in October 2016, although officials later confirmed they were not legally married at the time. In 2018, they announced they were divorcing, but were spotted wearing wedding rings again by 2020, signaling a reconciliation.

They welcomed daughter Isabel in March 2022. Goth spoke about motherhood in an October 2025 interview with Elle, calling it a “psychedelic experience.” “You’re parenting her, but you’re also parenting the version of you that existed when you were that age,” she said. “She’s the greatest gift of my life.”

Professionally, both stars are active. Goth has had a career surge with leading roles in Ti West’s horror trilogy — X and Pearl — plus MaXXXine, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and she is attached to the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter. LaBeouf recently appeared as the subject of the documentary Slauson Rec, about his controversial acting collective.
