Sia is finally opening up about her new life as a mom!
Back in January, the Chandelier singer casually revealed she adopted a son during a GQ feature about her pal Diplo, but she was reluctant to share many details at the time. That all changed on Tuesday when she appeared on SiriusXM‘s The Morning Mash Up and confirmed the adoption of not one, but TWO teenage boys last year!

The 44-year-old singer explained she welcomed the pair of 18-year-olds into her family to save them from aging out of the foster care system:
“I actually adopted two sons last year. They were both 18 — they’re both 19 years old now. They were aging out of the foster care system. Yeah, and I love them.”
Aww, that’s great! Sia has been so vocal about wanting to adopt and even gave an open invitation to take in one of the teens featured in the HBO documentary Foster in 2019. It’s unclear whatever became of that, but it sounds like she found the right scenario to make this transition happen, anyway!
The artist went on to share how the teens have been coping with the ongoing coronavirus lockdown:
“They are both finding it pretty difficult, one more so than the other. But they’re both doing things that are really good for them right now, that are really helpful. They’re really doing a lot of educational stuff that’s good for them.”
That sounds a lot like what we’ve been hearing from other Perezcious celebrity parents. Whether you’re afforded certain comforts or not, this quarantine has been challenging, to say the least! WATCH Sia explain it all in her own words in the clip (below):
As we touched on earlier, Sia first dropped the news about expanding her fam while nonchalantly raving about the no-strings sex agreement she proposed to the 41-year-old DJ! At the time, she told the publication:
“This year I wrote him [Diplo] a text, and I said, ‘Hey, listen, you’re like one of five people that I’m sexually attracted to, and now that I’ve decided to be single for the rest of my life and I just adopted a son, I don’t have time for a relationship… If you’re interested in some no-strings sex, then hit me up.'”
The Cheap Thrills singer is usually tight-lipped when it comes to her personal life, so we doubt we’ll get any more details beyond that salacious quote. But single moms need love too, so, we hope they were able to have some fun together before social distancing measures went into effect. LOLz!
Congrats again on your new family, Sia!
