Sia Appears Unrecognizable Without Makeup Amidst Divorce Battle

Known for her elaborate disguises and face-obscuring wigs, Australian singer Sia Furler made a surprisingly low-key appearance at a Los Angeles market recently, leaving many onlookers struggling to recognize her. Dressed in a cream kaftan over a white t-shirt, the 50-year-old pop star was seen without her trademark makeup, sporting black reading glasses and a pink baseball cap as she browsed produce and bought flowers.

This candid moment comes at a turbulent time for the singer, as details emerge from her ongoing divorce from ex-husband Daniel Bernard. Reports indicate Sia has agreed to pay a substantial $40,000 per month in child support for their two-year-old son, Somersault 'Summi' Wonder Bernard, as part of their joint custody arrangement. The singer has been vocal about the financial demands, taking to social media to express her views.

Sia has publicly stated her role as the sole earner in the family, emphasizing her sobriety and commitment to co-parenting. She shared on X, "I am a sober, working mother trying to buy peace. I have primary custody, and since I am the only parent who earns, I have to pay an incredibly high California-mandated child support." She also added, "This has been a terrible year, but it taught me how to handle difficult situations and prioritize family. To err is human, to forgive divine."

Court documents reveal that Sia will continue to pay alimony until their son turns 18 or completes high school, covering private school tuition, extracurricular activities, and health insurance. Bernard, a former oncologist, had initially sought exclusive custody and higher monthly payments, alleging Sia's unfitness as a parent due to addiction issues. Sia vehemently denied these claims, asserting her sobriety and compliance with rehabilitation programs. The court ultimately rejected Bernard's bid for sole custody and his request for spousal support.
