Most people learned that Shia LaBeouf's marriage was finished the same way they learn everything about him: through footage they wish they hadn't seen. Early on Tuesday, the actor was filmed bare-chested and bloodied on a New Orleans street, paramedics crouching around him while Mardi Gras crowds watched. Within hours,TMZ confirmedhe and Mia Goth hadseparated roughly a year ago.
There had been no statement, no filing, nothing public. The couple parted ways around mid-2025. Goth, 32, remained at the family's Pasadena address with their three-year-old daughter Isabel, while LaBeouf, 39, left for Louisiana at the start of January.
As of this week, no divorce paperwork has surfaced,according to Page Six.

TMZ also claims that there was a 911 call to the couple's Pasadena home in November 2024, about half a year before they are believed to have separated. The caller reported a domestic disturbance. Dispatch audio captured a woman, logged as an 'uncooperative female,' demanding that her husband leave. A man could be heard swearing in the background. Pasadena police attended but filed no formal report, and no arrests were made.
Nobody is claiming that one call explains the breakdown. But given everything else on the record, it is difficult to dismiss.
LaBeouf was said to have relocated to New Orleans in December, paying just over $1 million (£810,000) for a three-bedroom Uptown cottage. His father, Jeffrey, already lived nearby. People around him said he wanted to 'reset and refocus' and was sober.

That sobriety claim, however, fell apart in public.
In aMardi Gras weekend report,The Daily Maildetailed days oferratic behaviour across the French Quarter, with LaBeouf allegedly turning up bare-chested and visibly drunk at multiple bars. A bartender told the outlet he had been 'terrorising the city.' Staff at one venue said he tried to vault the bar and pour his own drinks before they removed him.
