Sia has adopted two teenage sons who she says were ‘ageing out of the foster care system’. The singer announced that she had become a parent last year in an interview with GQ, but she has now revealed that she actually adopted not one, but two sons. ‘I actually adopted two sons last year,’ the singer said, speaking on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up. ‘They were both 18 — they’re both 19 years old now. ‘They were ageing out of the foster care system. Yeah, and I love them.’

When asked how the boys were doing in lockdown{ =nofollow}, the Aussie popstar replied: ‘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.’

'They had extremely traumatic lives and I had the resources to adopt these two boys,’ she added, speaking to the Kyle and Jackie O show on Thursday. 'These boys both had lived in about 18 homes each in their 18 years and never had any stability. They had extremely traumatic lives and I had the resources to adopt them and give them the resources to deal with their trauma and any therapy for their problems and the difficulty they've faced.’

She also said being 'newly rich' was 'really weird and fun' but the upside was that her status meant she could help others. (The popstar is estimated to be worth £20million, FYI.) 'It means that I can make a lot of peoples dreams come true, which is the best feeling ever, especially now I don't drink or do drugs, so that's the new high,' she said.

It was in an interview with GQlast year where Sia first spoke about becoming a parent - however, the admission that she had asked Diplo for no-strings sex was the revelation that most focused on. She said, ‘This year I wrote him 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”.’
