Singer Sia, 49, Seen Holding Hands With Harry Jowsey, 28, After LA Dinner Date, See Viral Photos
Singer Sia, 49, was spotted holding hands with 28-year-old Harry Jowsey after a dinner date in LA, sparking dating rumours just months after her divorce.
Pop icon Sia, best known for hits like Cheap Thrills and Chandelier, is making headlines again — but this time, it's not for her music. The 49-year-old singer was recently spotted walking hand-in-hand with Too Hot to Handle star Harry Jowsey, 28, following a romantic dinner at Ca Del Sole in Los Angeles. The unexpected sighting, captured by paparazzi on July 19, has sent social media into a frenzy, with fans reacting to their budding romance and the couple's notable 21-year age gap.
In the viral pictures, Sia was seen flashing a bright smile in a sleek long-sleeved black dress paired with eye-catching leopard-print boots, her signature platinum hair braided in pigtails. Harry opted for a relaxed look with an olive green jacket and trousers over a white T-shirt, as the two strolled casually, hand in hand, seemingly unbothered by the cameras.
The pairing has taken many by surprise, especially given how private Sia has typically remained about her personal life. Their affectionate public outing comes just months after Sia filed for divorce from her husband, Dan Bernad, the CEO of a Los Angeles-based integrative medicine firm. The couple, who had tied the knot in 2022 with a more public ceremony in Portofino, Italy in 2023, welcomed their child earlier this year on March 27.
Despite the dating buzz, both Sia and Harry have yet to comment on the nature of their relationship. While fans are curious, reactions have ranged from support to raised eyebrows over their age gap. Still, the two seemed unfazed by the speculation, enjoying each other's company without hesitation.
Sia, who adopted two teenage sons in 2019 and became a grandmother a year later when one of them had twins at 19, continues to defy convention — both musically and personally.
Whether this marks a new chapter in her love life or is just a close friendship, Sia is once again proving that she plays by her own rules — and isn't afraid to embrace happiness on her own terms.

It was reported that Jin, Suga, J Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook had worked on the track last year. However, this turned out to be false, and it was septet's agency, Big Hit Music, who recently denied these reports. They said BTS never visited the studio in Ireland or took part in any recording for the album. The agency made it clear that the group is not involved in the tribute album in any way. Taking to X (Formerly Twitter), the agency wrote, 'We would like to address recent media reports concerning BTS's alleged participation in a Michael Jackson tribute album.

These tracks were reportedly found in a storage unit and had never been shared with the public before. Speaking with The Irish Sun, he said, 'The sessions started last year and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs. There's about ten more, written especially for Michael by the collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who have signed up for the project." Paddy Dunning further shared that he had a conversation with Michael Jackson's estate and got their approval to move forward with the release of an unreleased song and a documentary. The documentary will show Michael's time in Ireland, where he enjoyed special moments with his three children. Paddy mentioned that the estate supports the project because they also see it as a respectful way to honour Michael's memory. Currently, BTS is in the USA, where they are busy working on their comeback album. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

News18 SheShakti 2025 Celebrates Maharashtra's Legacy Of Women Leadership Building New Bharat
The SheShakti edition in Mumbai celebrated Maharashtra's spirit with women leading from the front and driving the vision of a new India, powered by women and anchored in Bharat News18 successfully inaugurated the powerful third season of SheShakti, in partnership with Lions International, celebrating women who've shattered barriers and are shaping the future of India. For the first time ever, SheShakti expanded regionally with a much-anticipated Mumbai Edition. The SheShakti edition in Mumbai marked more than just a milestone, it celebrated Maharashtra's spirit with women leading from the front and driving the vision of a new India, powered by women and anchored in Bharat. Over its two impactful previous editions, News18 SheShakti has evolved from a platform to a powerful initiative that has spotlighted pathbreakers in governance, security, industry, entertainment, science, arts, social justice and much more. This year's theme, 'From Breaking Barriers to Building Bharat', is especially significant as the campaign shifted its focus to regional India, bringing grassroots leadership to the forefront alongside metropolitan voices. The celebration highlighted how real leadership transcends boundaries, urban and rural, grassroots and global and emphasised that a stronger Bharat will be built when women lead across sectors. As stories from grassroots activists, scientists, entrepreneurs, media personalities, policymakers and frontline changemakers took centre stage, SheShakti 2025 reinforced the transformative power of storytelling in shaping India's leadership narrative. Ashwini Bhide, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, and widely known as the 'Metro woman" of Mumbai for handling complex, multi-crore projects, said, 'Working on mega projects in Mumbai is a big challenge but also a massive opportunity, and you need to be a problem solver at all times. Unless we create a robust and strong global standard of public transport in Mumbai, it'll be very difficult for Mumbaikars to commute the way they deserve." Shifting from the Metro to the film industry of Maharashtra, and opening up about how films and OTT shows are evolving for the better, actor Shriya Pilgaonkar said, 'You have to be stubborn about your dreams and flexible about your plan. Today, the work opportunities, especially with the kind of women I have been able to play on screen, are exciting. However, it's important to maintain balance. The industry is quick to box you." 'You have to stay in your power, confidence, and value, and your drive needs to come from within… So, if you want to stay relevant and keep working, you can't always be giving the power to other people," said Mandala Murders actor. Further, adding to the importance of financial freedom for women, Lakshmi Iyer, Group President Designate (Investments), Bajaj Finserv, in her session 'The ROI of Being She', said, 'Financial freedom is like oxygen. For women, it should be like Independence Day. The goal is to be in so much control of your finances that you can say it feels like oxygen to you." Building on the momentum, Dr. Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson of the Aditya Birla Education Trust, spoke candidly about India's long-neglected mental health crisis and the cultural shift now underway. She also addressed the silent mental burden carried by women. 'We're conditioned to be caregivers, to put ourselves last. But I say this from experience, if my own cup is half full, how can I give anyone else? It has to be brimming before I can share," she said. The Lions International presents News18 SheShakti 2025- Mumbai edition, concluded with a powerful session by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who championed the need for women's empowerment and gender equality in driving the state's development. He emphasized, 'As I matured in my political journey, I came to realize that Maharashtra's vision for growth can only be fulfilled if we truly embrace gender equality. Being a student of economics, I've read global economic trends and noticed one consistent pattern: only those countries have accelerated their growth where they recognized the value of the other 50% of their population: women. If we want to fast-track our own growth, we must bring our women workforce to the front seat. And as we give them more opportunities, we are clearly seeing the results; there is no field today where women are not excelling." During his conversation, he also recalled how, in the early days of women's reservations in local bodies, their male relatives often functioned as the real decision-makers behind the curtain, and how the shift began to take place. 'At that time, women had 33% of the seats. But many were stand-ins. The terms 'sarpanch-pati' and 'corporator-pati' came into existence because men felt it was their role," the Chief Minister said, noting that a gradual shift began around 1997, when women actually began performing in those roles. 'In 2029, when it becomes compulsory to give tickets to women, I don't think we will stop at 33%. Within ten years, it will be 50%," he said. top videos View all The Mumbai edition of News18 SheShakti 2025 brought together trailblazing women who are not just leading in their fields; they're reshaping them. From governance and business to sports, media, and the arts, the conversations were bold, urgent, and unapologetically forward-looking.

Is Tollywood normalising open discussions on period pain?
KOLKATA: Debates over open discussions of menstrual issues have recently swept through Tollywood. The portrayal of period pain in 'Dear Maa' marks the first time a Tollywood film has addressed menstrual concerns such as cramps, while also emphasizing the importance of men's empathy and support during menstruation. Many have praised this initiative, noting that the screenplay—written by two men—signals a shift in how Tollywood approaches these topics. Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury recalls studying in a coeducational school where he was forever empathetic to such concerns. 'I have a big number of friends from the opposite gender. They had no inhibitions about talking about cramps with us. No one raised their eyebrows if I offered a gentle massage to help them deal with period pain. Since my cinema is a reflection of my personal experience, writing such a scene with Shakyajit (Bhattacharya) where a spouse offers a hot water bag came naturally to me,' the director said. Dialogue writer Sakyajit Bhattacharya, who co-wrote the story and screenplay with the director, said, 'We are all used to partners having cramps and mood swings. Writing this scene came naturally. Everything was completely internalised and not intended as a statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo We didn't write anything to please the audience. Sometimes, we ourselves need to come up with things that start a conversation. While many have told me about the scene where the protagonist mentions that the feeling of motherhood doesn't come naturally to her, nobody separately pointed out this scene to me. ' You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Kolkata-based author and screenwriter Samragnee Bandyopadhyay told TOI that having such a scene definitely facilitates normalising dialogues on such issues. 'It is also because the scene came naturally and not in an underlined didactic tone! It is commendable that two men wrote the script. This just shows that all the genders are trying to get empathetic towards each other,' Bandyopadhyay said. She also recalls a scene from 'Brahma Janen Gopon Kommoti' where there was a song sequence and the protagonist played by Ritabhari Chakraborty offered a hot water bag to the house help who was having a cramp that day and was finding it difficult to mop the floor. 'A male director, Aritra Mukherjee, directed the film although the screenplay and the dialogues were written by two women,' she added. Yet, it might be too early to celebrate since not a single viewer has pointed at this scene while talking to the director and writer when they discussed what they liked about 'Dear Maa'. Instead of interpreting it as a sign of subtle awkwardness, Bhattacharya would rather see it as an index of how normalised this subject has become for viewers. M any have wondered if 'Dear Maa' will help normalise conversations about menstruation, somewhat similar to Akshay Kumar's 'Padman' and his advertisement that combine anti-smoking messages with menstrual hygiene advocacy. Tumpa Mukherjee, assistant professor of sociology at Women's Christian College, views this as a welcome change. 'Speaking about these issues is still taboo in many strata of our society. Not just men, women too are still uncomfortable about sharing these details. There is an awkward silence about this even among the upper middle class. To not worry about how the audience will take to this depiction is a welcome change. A Bollywood hero like Akshay Kumar has done a film like 'Padman' and also the commercial promoting menstrual hygiene. Having more Bengali films where male protagonists are empathetic to such issues will depict a shift in the way society normalises these things,' Mukherjee said. Interestingly, not everyone is comfortable with the idea of such open discussions with men other than their spouses. The month when "Dear Maa" was released also saw a reaction from acclaimed actress Mamata Shankar. In an interview, she expressed her reluctance to encourage open discussions about sanitary napkins with men other than her spouse. Her son, musician and actor Ratul Shankar, is fine with the idea of showcasing such scenes between couples in Bengali cinema. 'Offering a hot water bag to my spouse is as normal as offering a hot water bottle. I am fine with that depiction on screen. I am open to cinema's depiction of men who are empathetic to their spouse's period pain, though I do not support any exaggeration or attempt to turn it into activism."
