Sia's Estranged Husband Demands $250K Monthly in Spousal Support!
SIA'S EX-HUSBAND DEMANDS STAGGERING $250,000 PER MONTH IN SPousal SUPPORT AS HE CLAIMS THE POP SUPERSTAR LEFT HIM FINANCIALLY RUINED
In a shocking turn of events, Sia's estranged husband Daniel Bernard is seeking an outrageous $250,856 per month in spousal support from the pop sensation. The former radiation oncologist claims he has been left with no income after Sia stopped funding his business venture and allegedly refuses to reimburse him for expenses.
The news comes just months after Sia filed for divorce from her second husband, citing irreconcilable differences. But it seems Bernard is not going down without a fight, requesting the staggering sum in court documents obtained by The Scholarly Note.
According to the papers, Bernard claims he had been living a life of luxury with Sia, racking up over $400,000 in monthly expenses for private jets, vacations, high-end dining, and multiple staff members. But when Sia pulled the plug on their business venture Modern Medicine, Bernard was left high and dry.
"Despite an alleged agreement to continue working until July, I have not received a salary since March," Bernard wrote in his court documents. "Sia has ceased all funding for Modern Medicine, leaving me with no income."
But it's not just the financial strain that's got Bernard reeling – he's also claimed Sia refused to reimburse him for over $100,000 spent on leasing a property. The couple had been living together in luxury until Sia filed for divorce, with Bernard claiming she even paid for him to stay in a hotel until July.
The situation has left many wondering how this power couple went from blissful marital happiness to bitter court battles. But sources close to the couple claim their relationship was always rocky, with Bernard struggling to keep up with Sia's lavish lifestyle.
"Sia and Daniel were never on the same page," says an insider. "She's a multi-millionaire pop star who lives in a world of her own making, while Daniel is just trying to survive off her generosity."
But Bernard is fighting back, claiming he needs the massive spousal support payment to maintain his "luxurious and upper-class lifestyle." He also requested $300,000 for legal fees and an additional $200,000 to cover forensic accounting costs.
In a bizarre twist, Bernard claimed he will need to complete several years of training and pass rigorous exams before he can renew his medical certification and practice radiation oncology again. But it's unclear how this will help him secure the massive spousal support payment he's seeking.
As Sia continues her high-profile divorce battle, fans are left wondering what will happen next in this drama-filled saga. Will Bernard get his whopping $250,000 per month payment? Or will Sia emerge victorious, leaving her ex-husband financially ruined?
One thing is certain – with a combined net worth of millions and a string of Grammy nominations under their belt, these two are about to engage in one of the most epic battles of the year. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy celebrity divorce!
A Brief History of Sia's Relationships
Sia has been married twice before her marriage to Bernard. Her first husband was filmmaker Erik Anders Lang, whom she tied the knot with from 2014 to 2017. After their divorce, Sia adopted two teenage boys who were about to age out of the foster care system.
But it seems Sia's love life is far more complicated than fans might have guessed. The pop star told GQ in 2020 that she wanted to stay single for the rest of her life after her divorce from Lang.
However, just a year later, she was spotted with Daniel Bernard on several occasions, and the two eventually tied the knot in December 2022.
The Birth of Their Son
Sia and Bernard welcomed their 11-month-old son, Somersault Wonder Bernard, into the world amidst their whirlwind romance. The couple had a small marriage ceremony in Portofino, Italy, just months after getting hitched.
But with their marriage on shaky ground, it's unclear what will happen to their young child as they navigate this messy divorce battle.
As Sia and Daniel continue their epic court battle, fans can't help but wonder – who will come out on top? Will Sia emerge victorious, leaving her ex-husband financially ruined? Or will Bernard secure his massive spousal support payment and live the high life once again?
One thing is certain – this celebrity divorce has all the ingredients of a blockbuster movie. Stay tuned for more updates as this saga unfolds!
