Matt Bellamy Files for Divorce From Elle Evans

The Los Angeles filing seeks sole custody of their two children while asking the court to enforce spousal support terms from the couple’s prenuptial agreement.

Overview

  • Matt Bellamy filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences and listing the separation date as “TBD.”
  • The court documents request sole legal and physical custody of daughter Lovella, 6, and son George, 2, making child custody a central issue in the case.
  • Bellamy asked the court to award spousal support to Elle Evans and to enforce terms of their prenuptial agreement, including a request that he not receive support.
  • Elle Evans responded to the filing by telling a reporter the split was “a long time coming,” and both parties have otherwise issued only brief public comments.
  • With no separation date or hearing schedule listed, the filing starts the formal legal process and leaves outcomes on custody, support and timing unresolved until the court sets next steps.
