Sia and Husband Daniel Bernard Call It Quits After Two Years of Wedding
In a surprising turn of events, pop sensation Sia has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Daniel Bernard, after just two years of marriage. The "Chandelier" hitmaker, whose full name is Sia Furler, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press and People.
But that’s not all—the documents also reveal a secret that fans had no idea about! The couple had a baby together in March 2024, welcoming their son, Somersault Wonder Bernard. The little one, now 11 months old, is Sia’s third child, adding another chapter to her unique journey as a mother.
A Private Romance That Ended in Divorce
Sia and Bernard’s relationship has always been low-key, with their wedding ceremony being an ultra-intimate affair. The pair tied the knot in December 2022, but it wasn’t until the following May that they held a small wedding ceremony in the picturesque Portofino, Italy. According to reports, only about half a dozen people were in attendance, making it a far cry from the lavish celebrity weddings we often hear about.
Now, nearly two years later, the marriage has come to an end. The 49-year-old singer listed their date of separation as Tuesday, according to reports, and has taken legal steps to finalize their split. USA TODAY has reached out to Sia’s representatives for a comment, but as of now, no official statement has been released.
What’s Next for Their Son?
With the divorce filing, Sia is also making some big legal requests regarding custody. According to People, she is seeking sole physical and legal custody of baby Somersault. However, she has left the door open for Bernard to have visitation rights, which suggests she’s not completely shutting him out of their child’s life.
In addition to custody matters, Sia has also asked the court not to grant Bernard any spousal support. Given her successful career and impressive net worth, this request isn't too surprising, but it does highlight that she intends to keep her financial assets separate as she moves forward.
Sia’s Unique Approach to Motherhood
This isn’t the first time Sia’s family life has made headlines. Back in 2020, she shocked fans when she revealed that she had adopted two teenage sons who were "aging out of the foster care system." At the time, she spoke openly about her decision in an interview with GQ, saying that she had texted DJ and producer Diplo, telling him, "I've decided to be single for the rest of my life, and I just adopted a son. I don't have time for a relationship."
Soon after, she shared yet another big revelation—she had already become a grandmother! One of her adopted sons welcomed a child, making Sia a grandma just shortly after stepping into the role of motherhood. Talk about life-changing moments happening all at once!
A History of Love and Loss
Before her marriage to Bernard, Sia was previously married to filmmaker Erik Anders Lang. The couple tied the knot in 2014, but their marriage didn’t last long, as they separated in 2016. Despite her past relationships, Sia has always maintained a level of privacy when it comes to her personal life, making this latest divorce news all the more intriguing for fans.
As she navigates this new chapter, one thing is clear—Sia remains fiercely independent, both in her music and personal life. Whether it’s adopting children, embracing singlehood, or making deeply personal decisions, she continues to follow her own path.
What’s Next for Sia?
With this new transition, fans are left wondering—what’s next for the Grammy-nominated artist? Will she channel her emotions into another hit song, as she has in the past? Or will she take some time away from the spotlight to focus on her growing family? One thing’s for sure: Sia has always been full of surprises, and whatever she does next is bound to keep fans talking!
For now, we’ll just have to wait and see where her journey takes her next. Stay tuned!
