Daniel Bernad asks for a high amount to “maintain the lifestyle” he had during his marriage, according to lawsuit
The singer’s ex-husband Sia, Daniel Bernardis requesting a monthly pension of US$250 thousandR$1.3 million at the current price, in the records of his divorce process, with the argument that he needs to maintain the “luxurious and upper-class lifestyle” that he led during his marriage.
In the document presented to the court, Bernad reports that, after leaving his job as an oncologist and entering into a joint business with Sia (the clinic Modern Medicine), he was left without a source of income. He claims that Sia reportedly stopped financing the clinic recently, leaving him financially dependent.
Bernad also demands in the petition amounts to cover legal fees and forensic accounting expenses, claiming that such resources are necessary to “level the playing field” between him and Sia.
He also mentions that, during their marriage, the couple’s monthly expenses exceeded US$400,000 (R$2.1 million), involving travel, the use of private jets, expensive meals and a domestic team with several full-time employees.
About the case
Sia filed for divorce in March 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple had married in December 2022 and have a young son named Somersault. Bernad claims that, after the separation, he began to receive monthly payments Sia until October 2025, but that these temporary measures were not enough to sustain their standard of living.
According to the former oncologist, his medical record became inactive after leaving the practice, and he would have to undergo years of retraining and rigorous exams to resume his role. He argues that he needs this time of financial support to rebuild his professional career.
The petition described by Bernad also suggests that Sia would have paid for his housing until July 2025 and refused to reimburse the rent of around US$100,000 (R$549,000) for his current residence.
