"I actually adopted two sons last year. They were 18 -- they're both 19 years old now. They were aging out of the foster care system," she said. "Yeah, and I love them."

Sia said her sons are struggling amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic but are focused on their education.

"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," she said. "They're really doing a lot of educational stuff that's good for them."

Sia first hinted at the adoption news in the February issue of GQ. In a cover story about Diplo, Sia shared how she is open to being friends with benefits with the DJ and music producer.

"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,'" she said.
