Sia’s estranged husband, Daniel Bernard, is asking for sole custody of their son, claiming the singer has substance abuse issues. Bernard claimed in their custody battle that the 49-year-old singer is a “serious and immediate danger” to their one-year-old son, Somersault Wonder, TMZ reported. Meanwhile, Sia has requested that her ex’s with their son be supervised, as he is reportedly under investigation by Los Angeles authorities for alleged involvement with illicit child pornography.” Bernard denies the accusations, saying he believes Sia “planted evidence” to restrict his custody. The father claims Sia tested positive for barbiturates and benzodiazepines during a two-week hospital visit in Los Angeles. He is seeking $77,245 in monthly child support and has asked the courts for Sia to pay $250,000 in spousal support. According to Bernard, he is financially dependent on Sia because he is now unemployed after formerly being an oncologist. Sia admits she has struggled with drug use but is now over six months sober. “Dan’s attempt to weaponize my past sobriety journey… and is intended only to distort the facts,” Sia said. The singer added she has agreed to be drug tested alongside her ex-husband; however, he has declined the request. The couple married in 2023 and split two years later.
