Mia Goth has taken significant steps to officially end her marriage to Shia LaBeouf by filing for divorce in Los Angeles County. The actress submitted her petition on October 6, 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the separation. Goth indicated that the couple had parted ways on July 28, 2025, as noted in the legal documents obtained by various media outlets.

The pair, who have had a tumultuous relationship since 2012, share a four-year-old daughter. In her filing, Goth expressed a desire to gain primary legal and physical custody of their child while also requesting that the court not award either party spousal support.
Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf’s connection began on the set of the film “Nymphomaniac: Vol. II” over a decade ago. They engaged in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2016, although they later clarified that this union was not recognized legally. Their marriage faced challenges, with the couple announcing their divorce in 2018. However, sightings of them wearing wedding bands in 2020 hinted at a potential reconciliation.
Following their recent split, LaBeouf has relocated from Los Angeles to New Orleans. This move coincided with a series of legal troubles for the actor. On February 17, during Mardi Gras celebrations, he faced arrest for two counts of simple battery after an alleged incident in a local bar. He was later seen on Bourbon Street engaging in erratic behaviour, which included dancing with paperwork from his release in his mouth. In a subsequent social media post, he expressed a desire to be liberated with the phrase “Free me.”
This past June, LaBeouf entered a guilty plea to charges of misdemeanor battery stemming from that fateful night. Following his plea, he was sentenced to two years’ probation along with mandatory participation in rehabilitation for alcohol abuse, sensitivity training, and anger management classes.
Reports suggest that Goth and LaBeouf’s relationship has been consistently fraught with complications. A source informed PEOPLE in February that the pair had been struggling to get along and had experienced significant drama in the year leading up to their separation. According to the insider, Goth encouraged LaBeouf to leave their shared home, emphasising her independence and commitment to her career while prioritising their daughter.
In the wake of their split, Mia Goth is poised for a strong career trajectory with several notable projects ahead, including roles in “MaXXXine,” “Frankenstein,” and “Star Wars: Starfighter.” Her rising stardom contrasts sharply with LaBeouf’s recent struggles and controversies within the film industry.
While LaBeouf featured in a documentary titled “Slauson Rec,” which examined his controversial acting collective, his personal life has taken a back seat amidst ongoing legal issues and his adjustment to life as a single parent.
As the divorce proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact both actors personally and professionally. For now, it is clear that Mia Goth is taking decisive actions to ensure the well-being of herself and her child, while Shia LaBeouf faces the repercussions of his recent behaviours.
