Although the details have been vague, their failed marriage has continued to pique the interest of many as they were only life partners for 23 months; they filed for divorce in September of 2018.

Goth isn’t the first famous woman the actor has loved. Before their relationship, Shia had dated a good number of incredible women, including the famous singer, Rihanna, in 2007.

As the story goes, Shia and FKA Twigs met on the set of Honey Boy in 2018. They started dating after Shia’s split from Mia, and it was reported that they were happy together. But then, it wasn’t a relationship that was meant to thrive. In June 2019, it emerged that the lovers had drifted apart.

The Actor Could Be Getting Back With His Former Wife

After it was confirmed that Shia LaBeouf and FKA Twigs had drifted apart, he was seen with a mystery woman at Kanye West’s exclusive Sunday Service, and they seem to be more lovers than friends. Before anyone could confirm who the woman was, and her deal with the actor, he was seen with his ex-wife in Los Angeles.

This was in March 2020, and apart from kissing and cuddling amorously, LaBeouf and Goth had their wedding rings on. Because of this, it has been concluded in several quarters that the actor is working towards uniting with his ex-wife. As you would soon learn, his career has been as busy as his love life.

Shia LaBeouf Began His Career as a Standup Comedian

Shia Saide LaBeouf was born on June 11, 1986, in Los Angeles, California, to the family of Jeffrey Craig and Shayna LaBeouf, both of Cajun French and Ashkenazi Jewish descent, respectively. His mother, Shayna, was a ballerina who later became a visual artist and clothing jewelry designer. While his father, Jeffrey, fought in the Vietnam War and later worked several jobs. As an only child, LaBeouf was raised in Los Angeles in a conservative Christian family, but he describes himself as Jewish and rightly so.

Growing up, LaBeouf attended 32nd Street Visual and Performing Arts Magnet in Los Angeles (LAUSD). Also, he attended Alexander Hamilton High School, where he graduated from in 2003. Before launching out as an actor, LaBeouf began his career, practicing comedy mostly around his neighborhood. As he puts it, it was an escapist move from a hostile environment. In 1996, he began performing stand-up at comedy clubs and soon found a manager through the Yellow Pages.

Not long after that, the youngster delved into acting. His first appearances were in 1998. He appeared as Ethan in an episode of the TV series, Caroline in the City. In the same year, LaBeouf was featured as Cal and Wyatt in The Christmas Path and Monkey Business, respectively.
