Mia Goth Files for Divorce From Shia LaBeouf and Seeks Custody

Mia Goth has officially filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences” and asking for primary legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old daughter, Isabel. The legal filing arrives on Tuesday night, October 6, more than one year after the couple quietly separated on July 28, 2025. While Page Six exclusively reported the separation in February, the paperwork formalizes the end of a relationship that began when the two met on the set of Nymphomaniac: Vol. II in 2012 and married in Las Vegas in 2016.

What Led to the Split and the Fallout in New Orleans

The timing brings a legal close to a marriage that weathered an initial 2018 split, a 2020 reconciliation, and the birth of their child in 2022 before ultimately fracturing permanently. Goth, 32, the star of Pearl, MaXXXine, and Frankenstein, is also asking the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to either her or LaBeouf. According to her petition, the exact nature and extent of separate property assets or community property assets and debts belonging to either party are currently unknown, leaving the door open for an amended filing once that information is ascertained.

That leaves the former couple to untangle their financial assets while navigating co-parenting responsibilities from a distance. The dissolution follows a turbulent period for LaBeouf, 40, the star of blockbusters including Fury, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and the first three Transformers films. LaBeouf admitted in March on Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan that he contributed to the breakdown of the marriage, stating, We were deeply unhappy, and adding, I made a lot of mistakes early on before we tried to have a baby. I had violated trust in a big, big way.

LaBeouf also told Callaghan, You got to deal with that and God puts that on your heart for a reason, and noted, And I feel like it's not new heartbreak. I don't want to talk too much about it. It's not my story alone to tell but my side is, you know, I failed my marriage, and so I had to own up to that.

Despite the admission, LaBeouf praised his estranged wife. As he noted on the program:

That's a good girl. That's one of the best girls that ever lived. She's incredible, that woman. Incredible … all the time. 10 out of 10.

An insider told Page Six that the actor moved to New Orleans following the breakup to be closer to family members. That relocation preceded a high-profile arrest in February after a drunken bar brawl during Mardi Gras, which resulted in a guilty plea to misdemeanor battery charges.

The Legal Landscape Surrounding the Actors

The intersection of Goth's divorce petition and the conclusion of the FKA Twigs litigation places intense media scrutiny on LaBeouf all at once. Meanwhile, Goth's petition moves forward independently in Los Angeles, focusing strictly on the termination of the marriage, asset division, and the future of young Isabel.

At the same time, representatives for Goth and LaBeouf have yet to hear back after being contacted for comment.

That leaves the actor facing the formal end of his marriage to Goth while the legal architecture surrounding his past relationships shifts dramatically.

What Comes Next for the Family

The immediate next steps involve financial disclosures from both actors as Goth's legal team works to determine the full scope of property assets and community debts. Because the initial petition notes that these details are currently unknown, an amended filing will follow once that information is ascertained. Custody terms for 4-year-old Isabel will also move from an informal co-parenting arrangement into a binding court order, depending on whether LaBeouf contests Goth's request for primary legal and physical custody.

Whether the amicable tone of LaBeouf's public remarks will translate into an uncontested property settlement remains to be seen. As both parties manage attorney fees and the final division of the relationship, the answers depend entirely on how swiftly the Los Angeles court can process the amended financial disclosures.
