Sumner Once Spoke About Her Special Needs Son
The same year of the divorce, Sumner opened up about raising their son, who was born with developmental issues that made him require special needs, per the Daily Mail.
She said at the time in an essay, “Akira is nonverbal, he is not walking, he is hard of hearing in both ears, has hypotonia, and global delays.”
The actress then opened up about how her son’s issues had taken an emotional and physical toll on her.
She continued, “My experience of motherhood has been a rollercoaster of emotions and mental health challenges. I’ve been diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and postpartum OCD….I watched myself move toward the precipice of madness — I could see the edge of losing my mind.”

She Isn’t Going To Get Any Fortune From Her Rock Star Father
Last month, reports swirled that Sumner would be left without a fortune by her music legend father, Sting.
In an interview, per the Daily Mail, the singer said that just as he has worked hard for his career and wealth, he expects his six kids, whom he shares with his wife Trudie Styler and ex-wife Frances Tomelty, to do the same.
Sting explained his stand, “I certainly don’t want to leave them trust funds that are albatrosses round their necks. They have to work. All my kids know that, and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate.”
Despite his reluctance to leave any wealth for his kids, the singer noted that he would not leave them stranded if they ran into trouble. He also praised them for having a work ethic, hinting that they would not have any issues with his decision.
