Mia Goth has filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf after nearly a decade of marriage, seeking primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old daughter Isabel. The petition, filed on October 6, 2026, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, cites irreconcilable differences and lists July 28, 2025, as the couple’s separation date, according to court documents reported by People, TMZ and Page Six.
Goth, 32, is requesting primary authority over major decisions affecting Isabel, including education, medical care and international travel, along with primary physical custody, which would determine where the child principally resides. Her petition provides for visitation with LaBeouf, 40, and asks the court to terminate its authority to award spousal support to either party. Those requests remain subject to judicial review, and a divorce petition opens a court process — it is not a final custody order.
A long and turbulent relationship
Goth met LaBeouf while filming Nymphomaniac: Vol. II in 2012 and began an on-and-off relationship that has spanned more than a decade. They married in Las Vegas in October 2016, announced a separation and said they were divorcing in 2018, but never finalised that divorce and later reunited. Their daughter Isabel was born in 2022.
The filing arrived at a notable moment: the day before Goth filed, LaBeouf settled a lawsuit for the second time with singer and actor FKA Twigs, whom he dated while split from Goth. In October 2026, LaBeouf also agreed that the confidentiality provisions in their 2025 agreement were terminated and void, according to court filings. LaBeouf pleaded guilty in June 2026 to three counts of simple battery stemming from a February Mardi Gras altercation in New Orleans, and was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to complete an alcohol treatment programme, according to reports.
What happens next
No public statement from LaBeouf’s representatives had been identified in reports reviewed as of mid-October, and LaBeouf will have an opportunity to respond to the petition and address the custody, visitation and financial requests. The court has yet to determine the final parenting arrangement or resolve the remaining terms of the divorce. Goth, who does not engage in social media on any platform according to her representative, has also had to address a fake AI photo of herself circulating online since the filing, with her spokesperson telling The Verge she does not own social media accounts.
