Mia Goth has initiated divorce proceedings against Shia LaBeouf, filing a petition Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. According to the filing, Goth, 32, and LaBeouf, 40, have been separated since July 2025.
The actors first became a couple while working together on 2012’s “Nymphomaniac: Vol. II.” They married in 2016. Their relationship has been on and off: they announced a split and divorce plans in 2018 but never legally ended the marriage, later reconciled in 2020, and welcomed a daughter in 2022.
In her petition, Goth seeks primary legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old child, with visitation for LaBeouf. She also asks the court to deny spousal support to either party. The filing cites irreconcilable differences, the standard reason in most U.S. divorces. Neither actor had been married before. Representatives for both did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Goth, born Mia Gypsy Mello da Silva Goth in London, has become known for her work in horror and independent film. She recently appeared as Melantho, an unfaithful servant, in this summer’s “The Odyssey,” and played a dual role in last year’s “Frankenstein.” She also starred in the horror trilogy “X,” “Pearl,” and “MaXXXine.”
LaBeouf rose to fame as a child star on Disney Channel’s “Even Stevens” and in the 2003 film “Holes.” He later appeared in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and director Michael Bay’s first three “Transformers” movies.
The divorce filing comes shortly after another legal development involving FKA Twigs, the singer, songwriter, and actor who dated LaBeouf while he was separated from Goth. One day before Goth filed, LaBeouf settled a lawsuit with FKA Twigs for a second time. FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, had alleged in a 2020 suit that LaBeouf emotionally and physically abused her during their relationship, which began when she had a supporting role in “Honey Boy,” the semi-autobiographical film he wrote and starred in.
The two previously settled the case and had it dismissed last year, but Barnett sued again in March, claiming that nondisclosure provisions in the settlement illegally silenced her under California law. On Monday, she moved to dismiss the second lawsuit, saying in court documents that LaBeouf had agreed to void those provisions.
In June, LaBeouf was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to punching three people outside a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras.
