The Mia Goth divorce is official — for the second time. The 32-year-old Pearl star filed court papers on Tuesday, October 6, ending her 10-year marriage to Shia LaBeouf, according to documents cited by OK Magazine. The filing lists “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and names July 25, 2025, as the couple’s date of separation.
It is the definitive end of one of Hollywood’s most unpredictable on-again, off-again romances — and it lands at the exact moment Goth’s career is peaking. Here is what the paperwork says, how the couple got here, and what comes next.
What the Mia Goth Divorce Filing Says
The paperwork tells a clear story. Goth is asking for primary legal and physical custody of the couple’s 4-year-old daughter, Isabel — the major parenting decisions plus Isabel living with her most of the time.
In addition, she has asked the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to either party. That is a significant move. Support battles are common in long celebrity marriages, especially when one partner’s earning history has been uneven. By taking support off the table entirely, Goth appears to be aiming for a clean, final break.
However, a judge still has to approve these requests, so nothing is settled yet. LaBeouf has not publicly responded to the filing as of this writing. High-profile splits often play out quietly when both sides want them to — Kim Kardashian’s famously low-drama divorce proceedings are one recent example.
A Timeline of Their Tumultuous Relationship
Goth and LaBeouf’s story has always read like a screenplay. Here is how a decade unfolded:
- 2012 — They meet on the set of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Vol. II, playing on-screen lovers.
- 2014 — The couple makes their red carpet debut.
- 2016 — They wed in a live-streamed Las Vegas ceremony, Elvis impersonator included. At the time, some treated it as performance art, and the legal paperwork behind it stayed murky.
- 2018 — Goth files for divorce for the first time, roughly two years after the Vegas ceremony. Representatives call the split amicable and private.
- ~2020 — In a twist worthy of a movie plot, the pair reconcile — quietly, without any grand public announcement.
- March 2022 — Daughter Isabel is born, and the couple look like a settled, if extremely private, family.
- 2025 — The quiet split. Page Six reported in February 2026 that the pair had parted ways the previous year; the new filing lists July 25, 2025, as the separation date. LaBeouf relocates from Los Angeles to New Orleans for what sources describe as a fresh start.
- February 2026 — LaBeouf is arrested during Mardi Gras in New Orleans and faces two counts of simple battery, according to TMZ and court records. He is released, ordered into a rehabilitation program, and told to submit to regular drug and alcohol testing.
- October 6, 2026 — Goth files for divorce. OK Magazine breaks the story the next day.
The First Divorce Filing — and the Reconciliation Nobody Saw Coming
Yes, this is their second trip to divorce court. When Goth first filed in 2018, she was still a rising genre actress, and the split seemed final. Then came the quiet 2020 reconciliation and Isabel’s arrival in 2022. That history is exactly why this second filing feels less like a shock and more like the closing chapter of a relationship that kept trying — and failing — to work.
Why the Mia Goth Divorce Hits Differently This Time
Timing is everything. When Goth filed in 2018, she was best known as LaBeouf’s partner. Today, she is one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, and the split arrives at the absolute peak of her career.
Consider the résumé. Goth headlined Ti West’s horror trilogy — X, Pearl, and MaXXXine — earned career-best notices for Infinity Pool, and stars in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. She has also joined Star Wars: Starfighter, the standalone 2027 film starring Ryan Gosling, and remains
attached to Marvel’s long-delayed Blade reboot. She is no longer “Shia LaBeouf’s wife” in the public eye. She is simply Mia Goth.
Meanwhile, LaBeouf’s recent headlines have been turbulent. Reports describe the New Orleans move as an attempt at a reset, followed by the February arrest. Friends in Goth’s circle have reportedly urged him to seek long-term help. In that context, the filing reads less like a sudden decision and more like the paperwork catching up to a separation that sources say happened over a year ago.
What’s Next After the Split
Two questions now hang over the case: custody and money. Goth wants primary custody of Isabel, and her request to end spousal support for both sides suggests she expects no financial war. After a 10-year marriage, that is a notable choice — and it hints that both sides may want this done quietly.
For Goth’s career, nothing appears to slow down. Star Wars: Starfighter is dated for May 28, 2027, and Frankenstein continues its awards-season run. If the custody case stays out of the headlines, this could become one of Hollywood’s quietest major divorces — which, given this couple’s famously chaotic history, would be the biggest plot twist of all.
