Shia LaBeouf’s personal life has long been a subject of fascination, with a series of high-profile relationships that have captured the attention of fans and media alike. From his early days in Hollywood to his recent public life, the actor has been linked to a range of celebrities, including Megan Fox, FKA Twigs, and Mia Goth. These relationships have often been as public and dramatic as his film roles, offering a glimpse into the private struggles of a man who has faced both acclaim and controversy.

Early Romance with Megan Fox

One of the most well-known relationships in LaBeouf’s history is his brief fling with Megan Fox during the filming of Transformers in the mid-2000s. The two shared not only on-screen chemistry but also a romantic connection off-camera. LaBeouf has spoken openly about the relationship, admitting in interviews that the time spent together on set made it easy for the attraction to develop. According to TMZ, he described it as a ‘hookup’ during the production of the first Transformers film.

Megan Fox later confirmed the relationship on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, expressing fondness for LaBeouf but noting that the romance was brief and did not last beyond the end of the film series. ‘I love him,’ she said, but emphasized that it was a fleeting connection.

Other Early Relationships

Following the Transformers era, LaBeouf was linked to Australian actress Isabel Lucas, who was reportedly involved with actor Adrian Grenier at the time. Rumors suggested that LaBeouf’s relationship with Lucas contributed to the end of Grenier and Lucas’s relationship. While neither party confirmed the extent of their romance, paparazzi sightings and media speculation suggested a brief fling.

In 2009, LaBeouf began a relationship with actress Carey Mulligan, whom he met while co-starring in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The couple was linked in August 2009 and remained together for about a year before splitting in October 2010. LaBeouf described Mulligan as ‘the most talented actress’ he had ever met, according to GQ, but acknowledged that their differing life goals contributed to the breakup.

Later Relationships and Legal Issues

In 2011, LaBeouf began a relationship with stylist Karolyn Pho, who he credited with helping him mature and settle down after earlier personal struggles. However, their relationship reportedly ended in late 2012 due to tensions over LaBeouf’s career choices, particularly his role in Nymphomaniac, which included explicit content. Pho was later referenced in legal proceedings involving LaBeouf, though she was not a plaintiff in the 2020 lawsuit filed by FKA Twigs.

LaBeouf’s relationship with Mia Goth began in 2012 when they co-starred in Nymphomaniac: Vol. II. The couple married in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2016, officiated by an Elvis impersonator. They remained together for several years before filing for divorce in 2018 due to reported tensions. However, they reconciled around 2020, during which LaBeouf was in rehab. The couple welcomed a daughter, Isabel, in March 2022. Recent reports indicate that they have once again separated, with sources suggesting they split quietly in 2025.

In 2018, LaBeouf began dating FKA Twigs, whom he met on the set of his semi-autobiographical film Honey Boy. Their relationship lasted about a year before ending in mid-2019. In December 2020, Twigs filed a lawsuit against LaBeouf, alleging physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, including choking and coercive control. LaBeouf denied many of the specific claims but admitted to being ‘abusive to myself and everyone around me for years.’ The case was settled out of court in July 2025.

In late 2020, LaBeouf began a brief relationship with actress Margaret Qualley, whom he met on the set of a music video for Qualley’s sister Rainey’s song. The couple was spotted together publicly but split in January 2021, overlapping with the time of the Twigs lawsuit.

LaBeouf’s relationship history reflects a pattern of intense, high-profile connections that have often been marked by public drama and controversy. Each relationship has contributed to the narrative of a man grappling with personal demons while handling the pressures of fame. As he continues to evolve both personally and professionally, the public will undoubtedly remain interested in the twists and turns of his personal life.
