Australian singer-songwriter Sia revealed this week that she adopted two 18-year-old sons last year who were ‘ageing out of the foster care system’.
The 44-year-old welcomed the boys into her Los Angeles home that she has spent years filling with rescue dogs, as a passionate advocate for animal adoption.
Despite being one of the world’s most reserved stars, almost always covering her face in public to maintain her anonymity, she’s one of the most generous too.

It is believed that Sia, full name Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, lives in her $5.15million US ($7.86million AUD) Toluca Lake compound with her two adopted sons and dogs.
Sia revealed to SiriusXM on Tuesday that she adopted two sons last year.
‘They were 18, they’re both 19-years-old now. They were ageing out of the foster care system and yeah, I love them,’ she told the radio station.
In 2019, Sia tweeted that she hoped to adopt Dasani, a 16-year-old who was featured in HBO documentary Foster, a probing exploration of foster care based on the experiences of children and caregivers living in Los Angeles County.
