Sia’s secret baby revealed as she files for divorce from husband

The notoriously private Aussie singer has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, with court documents revealing a surprising secret.

Aussie singer Sia has filed for divorce from her husband of two years as a secret bombshell was revealed.

According to court documents obtained by People magazine, Sia — full name Sia Kate Isobelle Furler — officially separated from her husband, Dan Bernad, just a day before filing for divorce on March 18.

And in a bombshell, the paperwork also revealed that the couple secretly welcomed their first child together just a year ago — a baby boy named Somersault Wonder Bernad, born on March 27, 2024.

According to court documents, Sia officially separated from her husband, Dan Bernad, just a day before filing for divorce on March 18.

Before marrying producer Dan Bernad in 2023, Chandelier singer Sia adopted two 18-year-old boys in 2019. Both were 18 years old at the time and were about to age out of the foster care system.

In her divorce filing, the 49-year-old cited “irreconcilable differences” and requested that Bernad not be granted spousal support.

She is also seeking legal and physical custody of their son but is open to granting her ex visitation rights.

Sia and Bernad were first linked in December 2021 and wed two years later in an intimate Portofino, Italy, ceremony with just six guests, including the couple.

The wedding came after she told GQ in 2020 that she was happy to stay “single for the rest of my life” after her 2017 split from her first husband, golf documentarian Erik Anders Lang.

And in a 2020 essay for InStyle, she wrote about motherhood being her ultimate goal as she “wanted to be a mum my whole entire life”.

“For years I was basically walking around with my legs open like, ‘Impregnate me!’” she wrote.

“But I never got pregnant in any of my relationships, even when I wasn’t exactly practising safe sex. I just thought it wasn’t God’s will for me.”

She had also opened up about her IVF journey and successfully making embryos with her then-husband, but their divorce put an end to her motherhood dreams.

However, after watching a documentary about the foster care system and seeing the plight of one particular 16-year-old boy in the movie, Sia knew she was destined to be his mother.

In a 2020 essay for InStyle, she wrote about motherhood being her ultimate goal as she “wanted to be a mum my whole entire life”.

“Older children have a really hard time getting adopted, and when I saw him, I said to myself, ‘That’s my son.’ I knew I wanted to help him,” she wrote.

After locating him and also adopting his cousin, Sia said she welcomed the crash course into parenting.

“I’ve learned how to be patient and compassionate,” she wrote.

“I’ve learned how to set strong boundaries. I’ve learned that as a single parent I need a great support system so I can ask questions about what’s normal and what’s not. I’ve learned what it means to unconditionally love another person.”
