Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth Split: What We Know About the Divorce

Mia Goth filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, ending a legal marriage of nearly 10 years that began with a live-streamed Las Vegas ceremony and survived one earlier breakup.

Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth: The Quick Answers

The news moved fast this week. Here is what readers are asking most.

• Are Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf still together? No. Court papers list their separation as July 2025, and Goth has now asked a judge to end the marriage.

• Are they still married? Yes, legally, for now. The divorce is filed but not finalized.

• How long were they together? They met in 2012 and were an on-and-off couple for about 13 years. They married in 2016, so the marriage lasted nearly 10 years.

• Why did they break up? The filing cites “irreconcilable differences,” the standard reason in most U.S. divorces. Neither has explained more publicly.

• Does Mia Goth have a child? Yes. She and LaBeouf have a daughter, Isabel, born in 2022. She is now 4.

The filing was reported by the Associated Press via ABC News. Representatives for both actors had not responded to requests for comment at the time.

A Love Story With Many Plot Twists

Few Hollywood couples have had a path this bumpy. Here is the record, from first meeting to the courthouse.

Inside the Divorce Filing

The petition landed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on a Tuesday. It lists Goth, 32, and LaBeouf, 40, as separated since July 2025.

The most important line for many readers is about their daughter. Goth is asking for primary legal and physical custody of Isabel, with visitation rights for LaBeouf. Some headlines say “sole” custody, but the Associated Press reports it as primary custody with visits. She also asked the court to deny spousal support to either side. It was the first marriage for both.

Why did Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf break up?

The honest answer is that no one has said, and the filing gives only the usual legal reason: irreconcilable differences.

What we do know comes from the outside. People magazine’s sources described their bond as complicated and said the two “weren’t getting along” in 2025, per coverage of that report. The same reports say LaBeouf then moved to New Orleans, closer to family, and that he stays in touch with Isabel.

The legal backdrop around LaBeouf has been heavy this year:

• In February, he was arrested during Mardi Gras and charged over a street fight.
• In June, he was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to punching three people outside a New Orleans bar.
• The day before Goth filed, he settled a lawsuit with FKA twigs for the second time. She had alleged in a 2020 suit that he emotionally and physically abused her.

No source ties any one event to the end of the marriage, and it would be unfair to guess. The separation began months before any of these headlines.

A child in the middle

Isabel was born in March 2022, and her parents have kept her out of the spotlight. One insider described Goth as independent, with a career of her own and a daughter who comes first. That is a source’s view, not a statement from Goth herself.

For a parent, the next months are likely to be about routines: school, visits and a calm home. Courts in California treat a child’s well-being as the guide in custody cases. A judge will decide if the two cannot agree.

What’s the Deal With Mia Goth?

The short version: she is one of the most daring actors working in horror today, and her own career has kept climbing through all of this.

A childhood on the move

Mia Gypsy Mello da Silva Goth was born on October 25, 1993, in London. Wikipedia says she attended nine schools in a single school year in Canada, a sign of how unsettled her early years were. She was a teenager when she was discovered by a fashion photographer at a London music festival and began modeling.

Mia Goth’s age, height and ethnicity

• Age: 32. She turns 33 on October 25, 2026.

• Ethnicity: Her mother is Brazilian and her father is Canadian, from Nova Scotia. Her grandmother was the Brazilian actress Maria Gladys, and her grandfather is the American artist Lee Jaffe. She was born in England, so she is British with Brazilian and Canadian roots.

• Height: Sources disagree. Fan sites list anywhere from about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, and I found no official figure.

• Eyebrows: Fans often ask about them as part of her distinctive look. I found no verified statement from her on the subject.

The films that made her a star

Goth made her screen debut in Nymphomaniac: Vol. II, then built a career with bold choices. Her best-known work includes:

• Everest and The Survivalist (2015)

• A Cure for Wellness (2016) and Suspiria (2018)

• X and Pearl (2022), where she wore heavy prosthetics to play the older version of Pearl

• Infinity Pool (2023) and MaXXXine (2024)

• Frankenstein (2025), Guillermo del Toro’s film, in which she had a dual role

Mia Goth in The Odyssey

This summer she joined Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey, which opened July 17, 2026. She played Melantho, a servant in Odysseus’s household whose loyalty is in question, according to The Playlist. She is part of a huge ensemble that includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland.

The point worth making: after a hard year in headlines, her work is what audiences keep talking about. She appeared at the Actor Awards in March, her first major outing after the separation news, per SheKnows.
