Sia has been granted primary physical custody of her two-year-old son.

The news comes following a custody battle between the Chandelier singer and her estranged husband, Dan Bernad.

According to court documents obtained by People magazine, Judge Firdaus Dordi granted Sia physical custody based on an agreement between the former couple.

Bernad will share legal custody and have regular visitation rights, along with special days and holidays as outlined in their agreement.

The couple, who were married from 2023 to 2025, reached an agreement on child support several months ago, with the singer agreeing to pay Bernad $42,500 (£31,767) per month for the care of young Somersault Wonder.

In September, Sia sold off half of her music catalogue for $180 million (£134 million).

Documents showed that Sia received $165 million (£123 million) for the songs she wrote before marrying Bernad, including her hits Cheap Thrills and Chandelier. He has reportedly agreed to waive any rights to that money for a one-off $1 million (£750,000) settlement.

Sia filed for divorce in March 2025, nearly a year after welcoming their son.

It was recently announced that the Titanium singer is to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year.
