Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have been happily married for over nine years. Four years ago, they welcomed their first child, a daughter, and have kept her out of the public eye. Now, it appears they have welcomed a new addition to their family. Read on to learn more about their exciting news.
Actress Cameron Diaz, 51, and her 45-year-old musician husband, Benji Madden, announced the birth of their second child on Friday. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram, introducing their son, Cardinal Madden.
They posted a photo of a piece of artwork that read, “A little bird whispered to me,” surprising everyone since there had been no public indication that they were expecting. In the caption, Madden wrote, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden. He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!”
The couple emphasized their desire for privacy, saying, “For the kids’ safety and privacy, we won’t be posting any pictures—but he’s really cute.” They added, “We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and good afternoon!!”
Cameron and Benji are known for keeping their personal lives very private. They married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2019, only revealing her birth on social media afterward. Diaz wrote, “We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden. She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”
In their announcement, they also expressed their intent to protect their daughter’s privacy, stating, “While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one’s privacy. So we won’t be posting pictures or sharing any more details, other than the fact that she is really really cute!! Some would even say RAD :)”
According to a close source, the couple went through a lot to have their daughter. “They went through so much to get to this point,” the source said, adding, “Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.” It’s believed that Raddix was born through surrogacy, though the couple has never commented on this.
After the announcement of their second child, some people expressed mixed feelings. One Instagram user commented, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” while another wrote, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.” Despite differing opinions, the couple’s decision to expand their family is personal and their own.
We send our best wishes to Cameron, Benji, and their growing family. Share this news with other fans of the couple so they can join in congratulating them!
