Sia’s Ex-Husband Fights for Share of Her $30M Fortune After She Refuses Spousal Support.
Sia’s divorce from her husband, Daniel Bernad, is heating up—and now it’s not just about custody. According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Daniel is officially requesting spousal support, a surprising twist given Sia’s initial filing asked the court to deny any alimony.
Daniel, who cited their date of separation as March 18, 2025, is seeking financial support after just over two years of marriage. The couple wed quietly in December 2022 and welcomed their son, Somersault Wonder Bernad, in March 2024. Sia, who also adopted two teenage sons years earlier, has asked for full legal and physical custody of their infant, while offering Daniel visitation rights. Daniel is instead pushing for joint custody, signaling a possible legal battle over parenting time.
Financial negotiations are becoming the center of the split. Sia’s estimated $30 million fortune—built from her work as a chart-topping solo artist and songwriter for icons like Rihanna and Beyoncé—is now at stake. Daniel’s court filing noted that he is still determining the “true nature and extent” of their shared assets, suggesting he plans to pursue a portion of her earnings, even though his personal net worth remains undisclosed.

Adding to the complexity is the mystery surrounding a possible prenuptial agreement. If one doesn’t exist, and given they share a child, Daniel could potentially argue for a slice of their community property—despite the fact that Sia was the sole breadwinner during their marriage. She rose to fame through sheer talent, drive, and years of industry experience—unmatched by her ex, who has worked quietly behind the scenes in entertainment with no major public credits.
As the proceedings continue, Sia’s fans are rallying behind her, questioning why Bernad should be entitled to any portion of the wealth she alone earned. Her journey from indie artist to global sensation is a testament to resilience and hard work, and many believe her success shouldn’t be up for grabs due to a short-lived marriage.
Despite the legal drama, Sia remains a symbol of strength, generosity, and creativity. She's not only built a music empire on her own terms, but also given love and opportunity to kids in need. While Daniel may seek a portion of her fortune, it’s clear that her achievements are hers alone—earned with grit, passion, and originality. Whatever the outcome, Sia’s legacy is already set: a powerhouse artist and a deeply compassionate human being who deserves peace, privacy, and full credit for her success.
