Mia Goth files for divorce from Shia LaBeouf and requests primary custody of their daughter.
Mia Goth has initiated divorce proceedings from Shia LaBeouf, marking a significant step in their relationship that had already been marred by private challenges. The couple has been separated since July 28, 2025, which Goth cited as the official date in documents filed late Tuesday evening. The filing notes “irreconcilable differences” as the primary reason for the divorce. In the legal documents, Goth is requesting primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel, while also seeking to prevent the court from granting spousal support to either party.
Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf’s paths first crossed while filming the controversial movie “Nymphomaniac” in 2012. Their romantic involvement began to surface publicly in 2013 after LaBeouf ended a prior relationship with actress Karolyn Pho. Their relationship has been characterized by volatility, including a high-profile public confrontation in Germany in 2015, which garnered significant media attention. However, the couple was subsequently seen together shortly after, demonstrating the complexities of their on-again, off-again dynamic. They became engaged in 2016, had a marriage ceremony soon after, and welcomed their daughter Isabel in 2022.
LaBeouf’s history includes various legal troubles that have sparked public scrutiny. Notable incidents include a disruption during a performance of “Cabaret” in 2014 and an assault charge in 2017 during a protest in Queens. That same year, he faced legal action from a bartender who accused him of racist remarks after being denied service. This series of events deepened concerns regarding his behavior and personal well-being.
Following their separation, LaBeouf relocated to New Orleans, where he faced additional legal challenges, including two arrests in February 2026. After his engagements with the law, he was released on a 0,000 bond and subsequently entered rehabilitation, a course of action encouraged by both Goth and his legal representatives. This spring, LaBeouf also pled guilty to misdemeanor battery charges related to one of his recent arrests.
Reports indicate that police frequently visited the couple’s residence in Los Angeles prior to LaBeouf’s move. Despite the personal difficulties, sources close to Goth have stated that she remains concerned for LaBeouf’s well-being and advocates for his rehabilitation. However, her current focus appears to be on her own stability and that of their daughter during this tumultuous period.
As the couple navigates the challenges ahead, their story continues to attract public interest, highlighting the complexities of celebrity relationships in the face of personal struggles and legal controversies.
