Sia Reacts to $42,500 per Month Child Support to Ex Daniel Bernad | E! News
Sia is mending her elastic heart. The “Chandelier” singer spoke out after agreeing to pay $42,500 per month in child support to her ex-husband Daniel Bernad—with whom she shares 23-month-old son Somersault Wonder Bernard—as part of their divorce. “I’m a sober working mom trying to buy peace,” Sia wrote on X (formerly Twitter) April 7, adding that California has “incredibly high child support.” She continued, “This has been a horrific year but it taught me how to navigate incredibly difficult situations, prioritize my family and not absorb other people’s negativity.” In addition to child support, Sia is responsible for covering her son’s private school tuition, health insurance and extracurricular activities, according to court documents obtained by E! News. Sia first filed for divorce from Daniel in March 2025, listing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup. In her initial filing, the “Unstoppable” hitmaker requested legal and physical custody of Somersault, with Daniel receiving visitation rights.

I love when the system works fairly. Because if she won, nobody would blink an eye.
Summer Salt??
Over 500K in annual child support is beyond absurd! He needs to get a job and not use that child as a cash cow.
So we've got another Kevin Federline.
What?😂😂
Well, the child could go to public school and would be okay. Sia does have incredible hit songs so must make bank on royalties. Why did she marry someone who didnt work.. ughh!
Careful who you have kids with… you’re stuck with those payments and having them in your life.
They both should pay that kid just for calling him that diabolical shitshow of a name. 😂
This is a shady arrangement. Why should she pay if she has primary care? Britney Spears paid less for two boys- and this guy knew her past and used it against her when he couldn't live off her anymore. I wish Sia well🙏
I only require a quarter mil in support for my children Kickstand, Giblet & Malaise. I do save a lot on everything however as they are bioengineered micro children! I recommend 👌
I'm gonna ask my kids to name my grandbaby pretentious papoose. 🤣😂🤣😂
What? That’s insane!
Ridiculous.
So the kids name is somersault?
The system allows children to be used as pawns. It’s child abuse.
Hahahahaha I love how women are complaining here!! You see how it feels like when men are asked to pay ridiculous amounts of money that a kid doesn’t need?
I like the middle name
This is weird….j thiugh the person that doesnt have primery custady pays the child support 😮
Men are always on the other end of the stick and nobody bats an eye. People like Sia don’t care about those men that have to pay outrageous child support payments. But now that she’s affected by it, it’s completely unjust.
Sia has about $40M. She'll be fine.
That is so unfair
Rules for thee, not for me.
Im Glad that that He's Getting the money! Now Women know how it feels to get railroaded in court! An AMAZING Victory for MEN!!
