Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf File for Divorce After Nearly a Decade of Marriage
The tumultuous Hollywood relationship between actors Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf has officially come to a legal crossroads. Mia Goth has filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf, bringing an end to a high-profile union that spanned nearly a decade.
According to legal documents filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the 32-year-old actress and the 40-year-old actor have been separated since July 2025, citing the standard legal grounds of irreconcilable differences.
The couple’s romance began in 2012 on the set of Lars von Trier’s controversial drama “Nymphomaniac: Vol. II.” After several years together, they tied the knot in 2016 in a ceremony in Las Vegas.
Their relationship has frequently made headlines for its turbulent trajectory; in 2018, representatives announced they were divorcing and had split up, though they never legally finalized the divorce.
They subsequently reconciled in 2020 and welcomed a daughter together in March 2022.
In the newly filed divorce petition, Goth is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their now 4-year-old daughter, while requesting that LaBeouf be granted visitation rights.
Additionally, Goth has asked the court to deny spousal support to either party. Representatives for both Goth and LaBeouf have not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the filing.
Both actors have maintained demanding careers in the entertainment industry. G
oth, born Mia Gypsy Mello da Silva Goth in London, has experienced a major career surge in recent years, cementing her status as a modern horror icon through Ti West’s acclaimed trilogy “X,” “Pearl,” and “MaXXXine.”
Her recent film credits include a dual role in last year’s “Frankenstein” and an appearance as the unfaithful servant Melantho in this summer’s cinematic release “The Odyssey.”
LaBeouf’s career spans decades, beginning as a beloved child star on the Disney Channel series “Even Stevens” and in the 2003 family adventure film “Holes.”
He transitioned successfully into major Hollywood blockbusters, starring in Steven Spielberg’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and headlining director Michael Bay’s first three massive “Transformers” films.
The divorce filing arrives amidst a backdrop of ongoing legal and personal headlines for LaBeouf.
Just one day prior to the court filing, LaBeouf resolved a lingering legal battle with singer, songwriter, and actress FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett. The two had dated during a period when LaBeouf and Goth were separated.
In 2020, FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against LaBeouf alleging severe emotional and physical abuse during their relationship, which began after they met on the set of the semi-autobiographical film “Honey Boy,” written by and starring LaBeouf.
While that initial lawsuit was settled and dismissed last year, FKA Twigs filed a new lawsuit in March, arguing that nondisclosure provisions included in the original settlement illegally silenced her under California law.
However, court documents filed on Monday indicated that she moved to dismiss the second lawsuit after LaBeouf agreed to void those specific nondisclosure provisions.
Furthermore, LaBeouf’s personal legal troubles have included a criminal case earlier this year.
In June, the actor was sentenced to a term of probation after entering a guilty plea for punching three individuals outside a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras celebrations.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the primary focus for the court will center on custody arrangements for the former couple’s young daughter.
Neither party has issued a public statement regarding the dissolution of their marriage, leaving the final resolution of the divorce in the hands of the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
