A Growing Family
Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have now been married for over nine years. Four years ago, they welcomed their daughter Raddix, carefully keeping her out of the public eye.
Now, they’ve joyfully added another child to their family.
Surprise Arrival
On Friday, 51-year-old actress Cameron Diaz and her husband, 45-year-old musician Benji Madden, welcomed their second child — a son named Cardinal. The couple surprised fans by announcing the birth on Instagram.
They posted a photo of artwork reading, “A little bird whispered to me,” catching many off guard since no one knew they were expecting.
Sharing the News
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!”
He added, “For the kids’ safety and privacy, we won’t be posting any pictures — but he’s really cute. We feel so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours!”
A Private Couple
The couple has always guarded their privacy. They married in 2015 and welcomed daughter Raddix in 2019. Just like now, they kept her birth quiet, only revealing the news on social media afterward.
Back then, 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.”
She continued, “While we’re 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 more details, other than the fact that she is really, really cute! Some would even say RAD :)”
Behind the Scenes
According to a source close to the couple, they faced many challenges before having Raddix. “They went through so much to get to this point,” the source revealed, adding, “Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.”
Reports suggest Raddix was born through surrogacy, although the couple has never publicly confirmed it.
Mixed Reactions
Not everyone welcomed the news warmly. One Instagram user commented, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” Another wrote, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.”
Clearly, opinions differ, but the couple seems focused on their family’s joy.
