Sia Is a Grandma Now
They grow up so fast! Two months after revealing she's a mother, Sia announced she's now also a grandmother twice over.
On Tuesday's episode of Zane Lowe's Apple Music show, the 44-year-old pop star disclosed, “My youngest son just had two babies. I'm a fucking grandma! I'm just immediately horrified. No, I'm cool.” She continued, “They call me Nana. I’m trying to get them to call me Lovey, like Kris [Jenner].”
In May, Sia told SiriusXM’s “The Morning Mash Up” that she adopted two 18-year-old boys in 2019 because they were “aging out of the foster care system.”
Speaking with Lowe, Sia further explained her decision to adopt, saying, “I’m a little bit jaded now after investigating the foster system as much as I have done in the last year. It’s failing us. Not in my experience, in my sons’ experience. They’ve been in 18 different locations in their 18 years.”
“I’m embarrassed that it took me to adopt two black sons to really understand what they go through on a daily basis,” she added. “I’ve very scared for my children. I love them very much. I’ve only experienced white privilege and I know that now. I am fully aware of how much I’ve experienced white privilege, and now I have these two black sons who tell me how it really is.”
