Before acting, Mia got her start as a model

After she moved back to London, she was discovered by Storm Model Management when she was just 13. Her slim figure, alluring eyes and pillowy lips landed her numerous modeling campaigns. She’s currently the face of Prada’s latest fragrance.

Mia has had a tumultuous on/off relationship with Shia LaBeouf

Mia has had a famously tumultuous relationship with Holes actor Shia LaBeouf, punctuated by drama and intermittent splits. The romance began in 2012. However, in Mar. 2016, he told a cashier at an Los Angeles area Gelson’s that he was marrying Mia, and she was spotted with a diamond engagement ring on her hand.

Mia is married to Shia LaBeouf

They held a quickie commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2016 — with an Elvis Presley impersonator officiating! It wasn’t a legal wedding, according to a local official — but Shia later confirmed the marriage on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. They split two years later and filed for divorce amid Shia’s romance with FKA twigs, which eventually fizzled out — as did a reported relationship with Margaret Qualley.

The duo reconciled in February 2022 amid news of Mia’s pregnancy with the Transformers actor.
