Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth have had ups and downs throughout their relationship, but one of the highlights has been the birth of their first child together, daughter Isabel. The couple’s romance has featured several milestones including their red carpet debut in 2014, followed by an engagement and wedding ceremony in 2016. Over the next few years, LaBeouf and Goth explored different paths in life (which included a divorce filing in 2018) until they began a family — a life event that changed the Megalopolis actor. “It feels like some kind of weird reset button,” he said on the Real Ones podcast in August 2022 shortly after becoming a dad. “I know that I’m never going to be the dude that I was in front of [my daughter]. … It’s almost like having the ultimate parole officer. I need somebody to keep me accountable.” For her part, Goth was elated to become a mother, especially the same year her film X premiered at SXSW and Pearl began touring the festival circuit. “It’s been the best year of my life,” she told W magazine. “On every front, it’s been such a celebration.” Here’s everything to know about Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth’s daughter — Isabel — and what they’ve said about parenthood.
Goth debuted her baby bump in January 2022
While LaBeouf and the MaXXXine star didn’t formally announce they were expecting, the news broke when Goth stepped out in Pasadena, Calif., with a large baby bump in late January 2022. While running errands, she wore a white T-shirt and black leggings, accessorized with sunglasses and Birkenstocks. Two months later, in March 2022, the Honey Boy actor and Goth were spotted out and about together for the first time since the baby news. The pair walked arm-in-arm through a Pasadena park.
LaBeouf and Goth welcomed their daughter Isabel in spring 2022
Like their pregnancy, the Padre Pio actor and Goth didn’t share an announcement for the birth of their daughter. Instead, the public learned of the birth when they were seen pushing a baby stroller together in April 2022. At the time, no details were known about the newborn, including name, sex, or birthday. The Infinity Pool actress celebrated her first Mother’s Day as a new mom in a similar fashion, walking through a park in Pasadena pushing a stroller with a “Happy Mother’s Day” balloon attached and LaBeouf by her side, per the Daily Mail.
LaBeouf confirmed his daughter’s birth and name in August 2022
The Peanut Butter Falcon star gave the first details about his child in a letter written to his former Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde, published by Variety. “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,” he wrote. “Mia, my wife & I have found each other again & are journeying toward a healthy family with love and mutual respect.” It is still unclear whether Isabel shares a last name with her mom, dad, or both.
Isabel is living a private life
Besides a few glimpses of the baby in a stroller or being held on walks, Isabel is heavily guarded by the Nymphomaniac costars. Neither of them have social media, so her appearance and details about her life are kept under wraps.
LaBeouf and Goth’s daughter is “joyful”
Despite the privacy, LaBeouf has shared bits and pieces about his child’s personality with the public. In 2022, he told fellow actor Jon Bernthal that Isabel is a happy little girl. “My kid is so f—— joyful,” he said on the Real Ones podcast. “She’s raised in complete love, and my wife is such a good mother. She’s a part of a new purpose that I didn’t have [before].”
LaBeouf has learned a lot from being a father
As Isabel grows, LaBeouf is also learning alongside her. “She’s the most dynamic spark of life and the most magical [thing]. It’s a game-changer,” he told Bernthal. “Out of this newfound discovery of real love in my life [comes] this kid.” Still, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a learning curve to becoming a new parent. According to the Holes alum, he thought past life experiences had prepared him enough for fatherhood,
