Matt Bellamy filed for divorce from Elle Evans in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, ending their seven year marriage and asking for sole legal and physical custody of their two children. The Muse frontman and Evans share a 6 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. Bellamy listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, while the filing leaves the official separation date as “TBD.” The couple married in Malibu in August 2019 and publicly confirmed their breakup in mid 2025, when Bellamy cited “really unexpected circumstances.” The custody fight is already on Evans told TMZ that she plans to fight for custody and described the marriage as “unbearable,” adding that the divorce filing was a long time coming. Those claims have not been independently established, but they signal that this split could move quickly from celebrity breakup news into a serious family court battle. Bellamy’s filing also references a premarital agreement and asks the judge to award Evans spousal support according to the prenup’s terms. Bellamy was previously engaged to Kate Hudson ; the former couple share one child.
