Whilst Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth never confirmed the birth of their first child, photos published by Page Six showed the couple out for a walk with their newborn in April.
News that the couple were expecting their first child together broke in February 2022, when Mia was spotted debuting her baby bump while running errands.
Shia and Mia have dated on-off since 2012, after meeting on the set of Lars von Trier’s NC-17 drama Nymphomaniac: Vol. II.
The couple got married in 2016, but called it quits on their relationship just two years later, before rekindling their romance in 2020.
