Divorce filing and custody petition

British actor Mia Goth filed for divorce from American actor Shia LaBeouf on 6 October 2026 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The petition lists irreconcilable differences as the legal reason for ending the ten-year marriage. Court filings identify the date of separation as 28 July 2025, confirming that the couple had lived apart for more than fourteen months prior to the formal filing. Goth, 32, requested primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel, who was born in 2022. The filing also requests visitation rights for LaBeouf and asks the court to deny spousal support to both parties. Representatives for both performers did not issue immediate public statements following the filing.

Relationship history and reconciliation

The relationship between Goth and LaBeouf began in 2012 after meeting on the set of the film "Nymphomaniac: Vol. II". The couple held a wedding ceremony at a chapel in Las Vegas in 2016, marking the first marriage for both. They separated in 2018 and announced divorce proceedings at that time, though they never finalized the legal dissolution and reconciled in 2020. Their daughter was born two years later, during a period of professional collaboration and personal stability. The separation in July 2025 became known publicly in February 2026 after LaBeouf relocated to New Orleans, where he purchased a home for one million dollars. Court records indicate the couple maintained separate residences throughout the intervening year.

Legal disputes and assault settlement

The divorce filing took place twenty-four hours after LaBeouf resolved a separate legal dispute with musician and actor FKA Twigs, born Tahliah Barnett. Barnett dated LaBeouf during his prior separation from Goth after appearing in his 2019 film "Honey Boy". In 2020, Barnett filed a civil suit accusing LaBeouf of sexual battery, physical violence, and emotional abuse throughout their relationship. That lawsuit was resolved with an out-of-court settlement in 2025, but Barnett filed a new claim in March 2026 alleging that nondisclosure provisions in the agreement unlawfully prevented her from speaking under California statutes. On 5 October 2026, Barnett moved to dismiss the second suit after LaBeouf formally agreed to void the contested nondisclosure terms.

Criminal charges and career backgrounds

The resolution of the dispute and the divorce petition follow multiple public altercations involving LaBeouf throughout 2026. Police arrested LaBeouf in New Orleans during Mardi Gras in February after he punched three people outside a local bar and used slurs. In June 2026, a court sentenced him to probation after he entered a guilty plea to two counts of simple battery. In an interview with Andrew Callaghan on Channel 5, LaBeouf addressed his separation from Goth, describing her as "one of the best girls that's ever lived" while discussing his need to overcome an inferiority complex. Goth had recently starred in the horror films "X", "Pearl", and "MaXXXine", as well as "Frankenstein" and "The Odyssey". LaBeouf, who began his career on Disney Channel's "Even Stevens" before starring in the "Transformers" franchise and "Megalopolis", has since spent time in Rome with Nicole Mumphrey.
