Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have enjoyed nine wonderful years of marriage. They welcomed their daughter four years ago and have made a conscious effort to keep her out of the public eye since then.
Recently, they quietly welcomed their second child together. Keep reading for more details about the newest addition to their family.
Actress Cameron Diaz, 51, and her husband, musician Benji Madden, 45, announced that they have welcomed a baby boy, Cardinal Madden, on Friday. The couple made the announcement on Instagram with a piece of artwork that read, “A little bird whispered to me.” This news came as a surprise since no one knew they were expecting another child.
In his Instagram caption, Madden expressed, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden.” He added, “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!”
The couple emphasized their desire to maintain their children’s privacy. “For the kids’ safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures- but he’s a really cute,” the caption continued. “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 wed in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019, similarly keeping the pregnancy under wraps until sharing the news on social media after her arrival.
“We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden,” Cameron Diaz wrote in her daughter’s birth announcement. “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”
In the same announcement, they highlighted their commitment to their daughter’s privacy. “While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one’s privacy,” the caption continued. “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 :)”
A close source revealed that the couple faced many challenges to have their daughter. “They went through so much to get to this point.” The source added, “Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.” They disclosed that Raddix was born through surrogacy, although the couple has never publicly commented on this.
After the birth of their second child was announced, some reactions were mixed. One Instagram user commented, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 yrs old?” while another wrote, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.”
It seems not everyone agrees with their decision to have a child at this stage in their lives. However, there will always be different opinions on any matter!
We are sending our heartfelt congratulations to this lovely family as they welcome their new member! If you’re a fan of Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, share this joyful news with others so they can extend their well wishes too!
