Sia’s Legal Battle with Ex-Husband Revealed
Sia, the Australian singer, songwriter, and pop icon, has been embroiled in a legal battle with her ex-husband, Daniel Bernad. The couple, who had a tumultuous relationship, got married in 2023, but divorced in 2025. The divorce proceedings have brought to light the existence of their son, Somersault Wonder Bernad, who was previously unknown to the public. Sia has been granted legal and physical custody of their son, with supervised visitation rights for Daniel Bernad.
In a recent development, Sia has agreed to pay $42,500 per month in child support to her ex-husband. The payments started on April 1, 2026, and will continue until their son reaches the age of 18, or longer if he continues his education beyond high school. The child support agreement can also end earlier under certain circumstances such as emancipation or judicial decision.
Furthermore, Sia is responsible for covering their son’s education, extracurricular activities, and healthcare costs not covered by insurance. She is also required to provide health insurance and a $5 million life insurance policy for their son. The couple will share joint legal custody of their son, with a detailed shared physical custody schedule in place.
This legal battle highlights the complexities of co-parenting arrangements post-divorce and the financial responsibilities that come with raising a child. The future of their son, Somersault Wonder Bernad, hangs in the balance as his parents navigate the challenges of co-parenting after separation.
