Sia settles case with ex-partner and retains custody of their son

The singer Sia has reached a formal settlement with her former partner Daniel Bernad, effectively concluding a contentious custody battle over their son, Somersault. Under the terms of the agreement, the 50-year-old artist will continue to serve as the primary caregiver. Bernad is granted extensive visitation rights, and the two parents have established structured protocols for managing holidays, vacations, and their child's future schooling, with the assistance of a designated parenting coordinator.

This legal resolution follows a period of significant conflict that began after the couple filed for divorce in March 2025. Previously, Bernad had sought full custody, alleging that Sia posed a danger to the child; however, his emergency motions were denied amid separate reports of a police investigation involving Bernad. With this final arrangement, both parties will maintain joint legal custody. Financial details remain consistent with an earlier interim agreement, which requires the singer to provide monthly child support payments totaling 42,500 dollars to facilitate the ongoing care of their son.
