Mia Goth Files for Divorce From Shia LaBeouf, Seeks Primary Custody of Daughter Isabel

Hollywood is abuzz with the news that British actress Mia Goth has taken legal steps to end her marriage to actor Shia LaBeouf. Goth, 32, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, marking the formal conclusion of their tumultuous decade-long relationship. The filing comes just days before what would have been their 10th wedding anniversary. Shia LaBeouf Legal Troubles 2026: FKA Twigs Files New Lawsuit Over ‘Illegal’ NDA Following Actor’s New Orleans Battery Arrest.

Mia Goth Files for Divorce from Shia LaBeouf

Court documents obtained by TMZ confirm that Mia Goth initiated the divorce proceedings, listing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The petition also explicitly states July 28, 2025, as their date of separation, indicating that the couple has been estranged for over a year.

At the forefront of Goth's requests is primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel, who was born in March 2022. Furthermore, Goth has asked the court to prevent either herself or LaBeouf, 40, from receiving spousal support.

The couple's on-again, off-again romance began in 2012 when they met on the set of Lars von Trier's film Nymphomaniac: Vol. II. They famously tied the knot in a non-traditional Las Vegas ceremony on October 10, 2016. While their marriage faced an initial public separation in 2018, they later reconciled by 2020 and welcomed their daughter in 2022.

A Troubled Road: Separation Amidst LaBeouf's Legal Woes

The formal divorce filing follows a period of significant turmoil for LaBeouf and reports of a long-standing estrangement. Sources cited by TMZ and other outlets previously indicated that the relationship had been facing problems for some time, with police reportedly called to the couple's Los Angeles home on multiple occasions before LaBeouf eventually relocated to New Orleans.

Shia LaBeouf himself publicly acknowledged the end of his marriage months ago. During a February 2026 appearance on "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan," the Transformers star confessed, "I failed my marriage, and so I had to own up to that," indicating the breakup occurred well before it became widely known.

LaBeouf's move to New Orleans coincided with a series of fresh legal troubles. In February 2026, he was arrested following an alleged altercation during Mardi Gras celebrations, facing two counts of simple battery. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanour battery charges in June 2026, resulting in a sentence of two years' probation and orders to undergo alcohol abuse rehabilitation, sensitivity training, and anger management classes. These events also unfolded concurrently with the settlement of a high-profile lawsuit filed against LaBeouf by his former girlfriend, FKA Twigs, which was resolved just prior to Goth's divorce filing on October 5, 2026.

Throughout these developments, Mia Goth has remained largely private, focusing on her career and motherhood. She has openly described her daughter, Isabel, as "the greatest gift of my life," emphasising her commitment to parenting. LaBeouf is reportedly in a new relationship with Nicole Mumphrey. Shia LaBeouf Arrested: New Orleans Police Arrest Actor on Battery Charge Amid Recent Comments on Drinking.
