Shia LaBeouf Daughter: What We Know About Isabel, the 4-Year-Old at the Center of His Divorce from Mia Goth

Key Takeaways

• Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth share one child: a daughter named Isabel, born in March 2022.
• Isabel is now 4 years old and has been living primarily with her mother since the couple’s July 2025 separation.
• Goth is seeking primary legal and physical custody, with visitation rights requested for LaBeouf.
• LaBeouf says he speaks to his daughter “twice a day” and describes co-parenting as a work in progress.
• Both parents have spoken publicly about how becoming parents changed their lives.

Who Is Isabel?

Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth welcomed their daughter, Isabel, in the spring of 2022. The couple never made a formal birth announcement; the public first learned of the baby’s arrival when the two were photographed pushing a stroller together in Pasadena, California, in April 2022. LaBeouf later confirmed her name and age in a letter published in August 2022, writing, “I have a little girl, Isabel; she is five months old and just beginning to develop the last half of her laugh; it’s AMAZING.”

Isabel, now 4 years old, has remained almost entirely out of the public eye. She was born after her parents reconciled in 2020, following their brief 2018 split. In January 2022, Goth was photographed with a visible baby bump, confirming the couple was expecting their first child.

The Custody Arrangement

According to divorce filings submitted by Goth in Los Angeles County on October 6, 2026, Isabel has been living with her mother since the date of separation, July 28, 2025. Goth has requested primary legal and physical custody of Isabel, with visitation granted to LaBeouf. She has also asked that neither party receive spousal support.

The filing does not indicate any dispute over LaBeouf’s access to his daughter; rather, it formalizes an arrangement that appears to have been in place for over a year.

Co-Parenting in LaBeouf’s Words

In a February 2026 interview on Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan, LaBeouf offered rare insight into his current relationship with Isabel. He said he speaks to his daughter twice a day and emphasized that he and Goth are making co-parenting work despite the end of their marriage.

“We’re trying to figure out co-parenting and we’re good,” he said. “She’s a good girl. Even through all this, she gives me grace. I still talk to my kid twice a day.”

LaBeouf also described how the couple navigates their respective filming schedules to ensure Isabel has both parents present. “She’s going to film in France,” he explained. “I got to film in April. So I got some time where I’m going to run out there and go be dad for a minute while mommy’s got to film.”

He acknowledged that his daughter understands the unusual nature of her parents’ lives. “She knows daddy’s a rolling stone. She knew that for a while. And she knows mommy’s a rolling stone too, in her way. She got cool parents, she’s gonna be a cool kid.”

How Parenthood Changed LaBeouf

LaBeouf has spoken candidly about the impact of fatherhood on his life. Shortly after Isabel’s birth, he said on the Real Ones podcast that becoming a father felt like “some kind of weird reset button.”

“I know that I’m never going to be the dude that I was in front of [my daughter],” he said. “It’s almost like having the ultimate parole officer. I need somebody to keep me accountable.”

He also described Isabel’s personality, saying, “My kid is so f—ing joyful. She’s raised in complete love, and my wife is such a good mother.”

Goth on Motherhood

Mia Goth has been more reserved about her personal life, but in an October 2025 interview with Elle, she opened up about what motherhood means to her.

“It’s a psychedelic experience,” she said. “You’re parenting her, but you’re also parenting the version of you that existed when you were that age. The amount of love that you can feel… she’s the greatest gift of my life.”

Goth also described Isabel as her “home” and spoke about her determination to be a steady presence. “More than anything, I’d say my daughter is my home,” she said. She added that she wanted to work through her own feelings of displacement “so that it’s not something I give to my daughter.”

What’s Next for Isabel

With the divorce now formally underway, Isabel’s day-to-day life is unlikely to change dramatically in the short term. She has been living with Goth for over a year, and the custody request in the divorce filing appears to codify that existing arrangement. LaBeouf’s public comments suggest the two parents have maintained a functional co-parenting relationship, focused on keeping their daughter’s routine stable despite their own turbulent personal histories.

As one source close to the couple put it, Goth’s priority has always been their daughter: “She loves him, but she also doesn’t need him. She’s very independent. She has her own life, her own career, and her priority is their daughter.”
