LOS ANGELES – Grammy-nominated Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler has officially filed for divorce from her second husband, Daniel Bernard, after two years of marriage. The 49-year-old artist submitted the paperwork on Wednesday to the Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the separation. The official date of their split was noted as Tuesday.
Sia is seeking both legal and physical custody of their 11-month-old child, Somersault Wonder Bernard, with no spousal support requested for Bernard. This marks the end of a relatively short-lived marriage that began with a discreet ceremony in Portofino, Italy, in May the year following their legal marriage in December 2022. Prior to her union with Bernard, Sia was married to filmmaker Erik Anders Lang from 2014 to 2017.
The acclaimed artist, known for hits like “Chandelier,” has garnered a total of nine Grammy nominations throughout her career. The success of the 2014 hit earned her five of these nominations. Details surrounding the commencement of Sia’s relationship with Bernard and their eventual marriage remain undisclosed, perpetuating the singer’s reputation for privacy and elusiveness in her personal life.
As news of Sia and Bernard’s divorce circulates, fans and followers await further developments in the ongoing legal proceedings. Despite the public nature of this announcement, Sia continues to maintain her distinctive mystique, drawing attention not only for her musical talent but also for her enigmatic persona.
