Shia LaBeouf's Wife Mia Goth Files for Divorce Amid Actor's Tumultuous History

Mia Goth has filed for divorce from actor Shia LaBeouf after a decade-long marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." The actress listed the date of separation as July 28, 2025. The couple, who married in Las Vegas in October 2016, share a four-year-old daughter, Isabel.

This filing comes after a turbulent period for LaBeouf, who was arrested in February following a bar brawl in New Orleans. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery charges related to the incident and received two years of supervised probation. Video of the altercation showed LaBeouf engaging in a physical fight outside a bar, and police reports indicated he used homophobic slurs during his arrest.

LaBeouf's personal life has been marked by numerous public controversies and legal issues dating back to his early career. After rising to fame as a teenager on the Disney Channel series "Even Stevens," his life began to spiral publicly around 2013.

Early Controversies and Artistic Declarations

One of the first significant public incidents occurred in late 2013 when LaBeouf admitted to plagiarizing cartoonist Daniel Clowes' graphic novel for his short film "HowardCantour.com." The film was criticized as a near-direct adaptation, and the publisher called the actions "shameless theft."

In 2014, LaBeouf garnered further attention at the Berlin Film Festival for his film "Nymphomaniac: Volume I." He walked the red carpet wearing a brown paper bag over his head with the words "I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE" written on it. Earlier that day, he had walked out of a press conference for the film, quoting footballer Eric Cantona. Around this time, he also declared he was "retiring from public life."

Performance Art and Legal Troubles

Following the paper bag incident, LaBeouf claimed a woman had raped him during his week-long performance art installation, "#IAMSORRY," in Los Angeles. During the installation, he sat in a room with a paper bag over his head, inviting the public in one-on-one sessions. He later described the alleged assault in an email interview.

LaBeouf's legal issues continued. In June 2014, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespass at Studio 54 in New York City for disrupting a Broadway performance of "Cabaret." He was later sentenced to six months of outpatient alcohol rehabilitation.

In 2015, he was arrested for public intoxication in Austin, Texas. The following year, he was arrested for an altercation at his livestreamed anti-Trump art installation in Queens, though the charges were later dropped. He was again arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in Savannah, Georgia, in 2017, which led to court-ordered rehab.

In 2020, an incident in Los Angeles involving misdemeanor battery and theft resulted in mandated therapy, 12-step programs, and sobriety monitoring.

FKA Twigs Lawsuit

In 2020, singer FKA Twigs sued LaBeouf for sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress, alleging he knowingly gave her an STD and subjected her to abuse. LaBeouf acknowledged having "a history of hurting the people closest to" him, stating, "I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years." The lawsuit was settled out of court in July 2025.

Relationship with Mia Goth

LaBeouf and Goth met on the set of "Nymphomaniac: Vol II" and began dating in December 2012. Their relationship has been described as tumultuous, with the couple first separating in 2018, though a divorce filing at that time was never finalized. They reconciled in 2020 and welcomed their daughter in March 2022.

In her current divorce filing, Goth is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their daughter and is requesting that the court not award spousal support to either party.
