Story summary

Mia Goth, an actress born in London, has filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf nearly 10 years after their marriage. The petition was filed on Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, stating that they have been separated since July 2025. The couple first met while filming Nymphomaniac: Vol. II in 2012 and got married in 2016. They had previously announced a split in 2018 but remained legally married until reuniting in 2020, after which they had a daughter in 2022.

Goth is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their four-year-old child, with visitation rights for LaBeouf. She also requested the court to deny spousal support for both parties. The reason cited for the split was irreconcilable differences, which is common in U.S. divorces. Representatives for both actors did not respond to requests for comment.
