In sad news, Sia has officially filed for divorce from husband Erik Lang

We’re always sad to hear about splits and breakups — even if it’s all ultimately for the best, it’s almost never a pleasant experience to go through. We just heard that singer Sia has filed for divorce from Erik Lang, and we just hope that both parties are doing okay.

The were married after a two month engagement in 2014, but (in true Sia fashion) didn’t announce the nuptials for eight whole months. The singer and Lang (who is a film producer in his own right and has worked on such movies as Dear John and Ax Man) have cited “irreconcilable difference” as the reason for the breakup.

They formally separated on December 7th of this year, and in a statement to E! News had said:

"After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple. We are, however, dedicated to remaining friends. There will be no further comment."

E! News points out that Sia had made mention of some tension in their relationship relatively soon after they were married, saying, “It’s kind of disappointing because we can’t do anything. I’m kind of a bit famous. I didn’t realize I’m so famous,” in an interview with Australian radio station Nova 96.9.

Again, we just hope that Sia and Lang are doing okay during what is very likely a difficult time. Hopefully they’re surrounded by friends and loved ones and are coping in healthy and positive ways.

We’re sending big hugs your way, guys!
