Mia Goth Files for Divorce From Shia LaBeouf More Than a Year After Their Split

Mia Goth has filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf, bringing an official end to their on-again, off-again marriage. The 32-year-old actress submitted the legal paperwork in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. In the filing, Goth cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and listed the couple’s date of separation as July 28, 2025. TMZ was the first to report the news, and Us Weekly later confirmed the filing.

The divorce petition includes significant requests related to custody and financial support. Goth is asking for primary legal and physical custody of the former couple’s 4-year-old daughter, Isabel. Primary legal custody would give Goth the authority to make major decisions for the child, including choices about health care, education and general welfare. Primary physical custody would mean Isabel resides with Goth for the majority of the time, while LaBeouf would likely be granted parenting time under a schedule that has not yet been detailed in the filing.

Goth also asked the court to terminate its ability to award either her or LaBeouf spousal support. This type of request effectively means that neither side would be able to collect alimony or ongoing spousal maintenance from the other. In high-profile divorce cases, such requests are sometimes used to create a clean financial break and avoid future litigation over income and lifestyle changes. It is a notable choice in this divorce because it means Goth is not seeking financial support from LaBeouf, and LaBeouf would not be able to seek support from her.

The actress also addressed the couple’s financial situation in broad terms. She stated that “the exact nature and extent” of any separate property assets or community property assets and debts belonging to either party are “currently unknown.” Because the full scope of the couple’s finances has not yet been established, Goth asked the court to allow her to amend her petition once that information is determined. This is a common step in celebrity divorces, where property, real estate, investments, retirement accounts and other financial holdings may be complicated and require additional investigation before a final settlement can be reached.

The court papers also included a request regarding legal fees. According to the filing, Goth and LaBeouf are each being asked to pay their own attorney fees. This too can help streamline a divorce case by removing the question of whether one spouse is responsible for the other’s legal costs.

Us Weekly has reached out to LaBeouf’s attorney for comment, but no response was immediately available.

The divorce filing is the latest chapter in a relationship that has drawn public attention for more than a decade. Goth and LaBeouf began dating in December 2012 after meeting on the set of Nymphomaniac: Vol II. At the time, LaBeouf was already a well-known actor, having risen to fame through his role on Even Stevens and later through major films such as Holes and the Transformers franchise. Goth was building her career as an actress and model, and the two quickly became one of Hollywood’s more talked-about couples.

Their relationship progressed quickly. Us Weekly confirmed in March 2016 that LaBeouf and Goth were engaged. The couple then tied the knot in October 2016, after roughly four years of dating. Their marriage was not always smooth, however. Two years into their marriage, the pair went their separate ways, and LaBeouf filed for divorce from Goth in September 2018. At that point, it seemed as though their marriage was over for good.

But the couple eventually reconnected. In March 2020, LaBeouf and Goth sparked reconciliation rumors when they were spotted together in Los Angeles while wearing their wedding rings. The sighting suggested that the pair had decided to give their marriage another try, and over the following months, they seemed to be back together. Less than two years later, Goth debuted her growing baby bump in January 2022, seemingly confirming that she and LaBeouf were expecting their first child together.

The news of the pregnancy came as a surprise to many, since the couple had largely kept their reconciliation out of the public eye. In April 2022, news broke that Goth had given birth after she was spotted pushing a stroller. Later that summer, in August, LaBeouf confirmed their daughter’s arrival, revealing that the baby girl, Isabel, was 5 months old. The couple rarely shared details about their family life, and they managed to keep their daughter mostly out of the spotlight.

While Goth focused on her family and her acting career, LaBeouf continued to make headlines for reasons unrelated to their relationship. In February 2026, the actor was charged with two counts of simple assault following an alleged altercation in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The charges added more public scrutiny to LaBeouf’s personal life, and in the weeks that followed, reports emerged that his marriage to Goth had already ended. According to multiple outlets, LaBeouf and Goth had quietly split sometime in 2025. Page Six reported that LaBeouf had relocated to New Orleans after their breakup, which was consistent with the legal timeline included in Goth’s divorce filing.

The separation date of July 28, 2025, is significant under California law. In a California divorce, the date of separation helps determine what is considered community property and what is considered separate property. Generally speaking, income earned and debts incurred during the marriage but before the date of separation may be treated as community property and subject to division. Earnings and liabilities that arise after the date of separation are often treated as separate property. By listing a specific separation date in her filing, Goth has created a clear marker for how the couple’s assets and debts may be divided.

Goth’s request for primary legal and physical custody of Isabel also reflects the practical reality of the family’s situation. LaBeouf has been living in New Orleans, while Goth filed for divorce in Los Angeles. A long-distance custody arrangement may be part of the eventual parenting plan, though the divorce filing does not provide details about how the couple intends to share time with their daughter. The court will need to determine a custody schedule that serves Isabel’s best interests, taking into account the distance between the parents and their respective work commitments.

The divorce filing also continues a pattern of complicated personal history between Goth and LaBeouf. Their relationship has never followed a straightforward path. From their initial meeting on the set of a provocative film to their engagement, marriage, divorce filing, reconciliation, and the birth of their daughter, the couple has experienced more than a decade of highs and lows. Now, with Goth’s legal petition, the marriage appears to be moving toward a final resolution more than a year after the two actually separated.

For now, neither side has commented publicly on the filing. LaBeouf’s attorney has not responded to Us Weekly’s request for comment, and Goth has not issued a statement. The legal process is still in its early stages, and it remains to be seen whether the divorce will be settled quickly or whether it will become a more extended negotiation.

What is clear is that Goth wants to establish custody, waive spousal support, and preserve her rights to amend the petition as the couple’s financial picture becomes clearer. These requests suggest that she is looking for a relatively straightforward divorce, one that allows both parties to move forward without ongoing financial entanglements.

As the case moves forward, fans and observers will likely be watching for more details about how LaBeouf and Goth plan to co-parent Isabel. The couple has previously shown a preference for privacy, and the divorce proceedings may remain just as guarded. But with the legal paperwork now filed, the end of their marriage is officially underway.
