Sia files for divorce from husband Daniel Bernard nearly 2 years after marriage
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sia filed for divorce Wednesday from second husband Daniel Bernard after two years of marriage.
The Grammy-nominated Australian singer-songwriter whose legal name is Sia Furler filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court.
It listed Tuesday as their separation date. As happens in the vast majority of California divorces, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason. She asked the court to award no spousal support payments to Bernard.
She's also seeking legal and physical custody of their 11-month-old child, Somersault Wonder Bernard.
It's not clear when the secretive singer began dating Bernard, or how they met. They were legally married in December of 2022 and had a small marriage ceremony in Portofino, Italy, the following May.
From 2014 to 2017, Sia was married to filmmaker Erik Anders Lang.
The 49-year-old singer has been nominated for nine Grammys. Five of them were for her 2014 hit 'Chandelier.'

Simon Cracker creates a brand uniform to highlight star upcycled garments during Milan Fashion Week
MILAN (AP) — Simon Cracker's collection for next summer is an expression of exasperation with a world of uninformed 'experts,' and as an antidote the Italian upcycled brand has distilled its focus to singular, spotlight garments, paired with a Simon Cracker new uniform. For designers Filippo Biraghi and Simone Botte, upcycling is the lexicon they use to tell the story. This season's was titled: 'The devil in the details.' They took inspiration for their ironic and disproportionate details from the Belgian designer Martin Margiela, adding to the garments oversized buttons that were actually facsimile copies, huge safety- and clothespins and giant zipper pulls. 'We didn't copy Margiela. We tried to use the same language,'' Biraghi said. New brand uniform highlights the stars The basic Simon Cracker co-ed uniform for Spring-Summer 2026 was a simple square T-shirt fashioned from jersey stock that they saved and reconditioned after it became waterlogged in flooding. The T-shirts, each with a big care label sewn on the front, were paired with tailored black shorts. The uniforms were backdrops for the real stars: A blazer with multiple crumpled arms that unfurled on the runway into dramatic trains. A triplicate of belted trousers tiered to make super low-waisted streetwear. Shirts sewn on dress fronts, with the arms tied behind the waist. A frenzy of shirts that become a ruffled skirt. Three pleated skirts layered to form a strapless tiered dress. Each garment, made of clothes that had been in some way discarded, had its own architecture, and its own story. Simon Cracker recipe Biraghi said that the designers have come up with a 'recipe' for some core garments, including the Siamese T-Shirt he was wearing. It was made out of two T-shirts, one forming the sides with the arms, the second contributing the front and back panels. The idea is put out some identifiable pieces, while maintaining the uniqueness of each garment that is core to the brand. 'Our niche wants unique pieces. It is not the herd that interests us. Fewer but more devoted,'' Botte said.
