Rockstar Divorce Shake-up: Matt Bellamy Files for Sole Custody of Children from Elle Evans

In a stunning turn of events, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy has taken the bold step to file for divorce from his wife Elle Evans, following nearly seven years of marital bliss. The news was exclusively revealed by TMZ. According to court documents obtained by the entertainment outlet, Bellamy submitted his petition for dissolution of marriage at a Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind their separation.
The estranged couple share two children, a daughter born in 2020 and a son born in 2024. Bellamy's petition for divorce also includes an unusual request – sole custody of his beloved offspring. The duo exchanged vows in a picturesque Malibu wedding ceremony back in August 2019, but their fairy-tale romance came to an abrupt end in mid-2025. Bellamy revealed the heartbreaking news via social media, stating that the separation was due to "unforeseen circumstances." Prior to his marriage with Evans, Bellamy was engaged to Hollywood actress Kate Hudson until 2014.
The exes share a son as a testament to their once-blossoming relationship. This latest development marks yet another chapter in the life of the talented musician, who continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his powerhouse vocals and innovative music. As the story unfolds, fans eagerly await updates on this high-profile divorce and the future custody arrangements of Bellamy's children.
