British actress Mia Goth has officially filed for divorce from Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf, best known for his role in the Transformers franchise. According to court documents filed in Los Angeles on October 6, 2026, the couple officially ended their marriage back in July 2025. The filing cites irreconcilable differences as the official reason for the breakup after years of a tumultuous relationship.
History of the Relationship and a Complex Journey
Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf first met in 2012 on the set of the film Nymphomaniac: Vol. II. Their romance was famously turbulent: they held an unofficial wedding ceremony in Las Vegas in 2016 before announcing their separation in 2018. However, they reunited two years later, welcoming their daughter in 2022. Insiders have frequently noted that the actors' union was always complicated by LaBeouf's struggles with alcohol and legal issues.
Court Demands and Custody Issues
In her filing, Mia Goth has requested primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter. Additionally, the actress asked the court to bar the awarding of spousal support to either party. Following their actual separation in the summer of 2025, the actor left Los Angeles and relocated to New Orleans, where he was arrested in early 2026 following a bar fight during Mardi Gras.
Contradictory Data
Some discrepancies appear in press and tabloid coverage regarding the timeline of the couple's public appearances following the breakup. While certain outlets highlighted the actress's red carpet appearances in early 2026 as a single woman, the actual legal divorce proceedings were not initiated until October 2026. Nevertheless, the date of separation—July 28, 2025—remains consistent across all official court documents.
Career Prospects and Future Outlook
Despite the family crisis, both actors continue to pursue active careers. Mia Goth has recently cemented her status as a horror and arthouse staple with roles in Maxxxine, Frankenstein, and the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter project. Shia LaBeouf continues to work in independent cinema despite ongoing legal hurdles, mandatory rehabilitation, and a two-year probation sentence stemming from a battery conviction.
