After over nine years of marriage, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have recently welcomed their second child into the world. The couple, who have kept their family life private, surprised fans with the news of their new addition.
Diaz, 51, and Madden, 45, announced the arrival of their son, Cardinal Madden, via an Instagram post on Friday. The couple shared the joyful news with a photo of a whimsical piece of art that read, “A little bird whispered to me.” The surprise announcement caught many off guard, as the couple had not previously revealed they were expecting.
In the Instagram post, Madden expressed their excitement, saying, “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 continued, “For the kids’ safety and privacy, we won’t be posting any pictures— but he’s a really cute.” The couple ended the post with a heartfelt message: “We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”
This is not the first time the couple has kept a low profile about their growing family. The pair married in 2015, and their daughter Raddix was born in 2019. Like their son’s birth, they kept their daughter’s arrival under wraps, only revealing the news after she was born. In her announcement, Diaz shared her joy, writing, “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.”
While their privacy has remained a top priority, a source close to the couple previously revealed the couple faced numerous challenges on their path to parenthood. It was shared that Raddix’s birth was the result of surrogacy, a detail the couple has never publicly addressed.
Despite their privacy, the couple has been met with mixed reactions from the public. One commenter on Instagram questioned Diaz’s age, asking, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” while another expressed concern over the possibility of surrogacy, saying, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.”
Nevertheless, the couple remains focused on their growing family, and we wish them the best as they welcome their new son into the world! Share this happy news with other fans of Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden to send your congratulations!
