Sia is facing a hefty financial obligation following her divorce from Dan Bernad, agreeing to pay a staggering $42,000 a month in child support for their son, Somersault. With primary custody under her wing, she’s also responsible for covering private school tuition, extracurricular activities, and health costs. While some might say that’s a small price for peace, Sia candidly shared her struggles of juggling responsibilities as a sober working mom navigating this challenging chapter.

The couple’s split came after just two years of marriage, and they married in a lavish ceremony in Italy, but life, as it turns out, isn’t always a fairytale. After filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, Dan attempted to get over $250,000 a month in spousal support, claiming he needed help following their separation. As the legal battle unfolds, the financial burdens on Sia remind us that even celebrities aren’t immune to the trials of parenthood—and that “buying peace” can come with an astonishing price tag.
