Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden announced that have privately welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Cardinal. The couple’s son joins their 4-year-old daughter Raddix.
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden shared the good news in a joint Instagram post on March 22.
“We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden,” the couple wrote. “He is awesome and We are all so happy he is here!”
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, declined to share photos of their child for his “safety and privacy,” though they assured fans that he’s “really cute.”
“We are feeling so blessed and grateful,” they added. “Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”
The There’s Something About Mary star and the musician are already parents to 4-year-old daughter Raddix, who they welcomed in late 2019.
Since becoming a mom, Cameron has shifted her focus from her acting career to family. As she previously explained, “When you’re doing something that you know and you’ve done well and you know how it works—and it’s consumed your whole life for so long—it’s kind of a nice thing to kind of go, ‘You know what? Let me just step back for a second, take a look at what the whole picture looks like for me, and what are the things that I could do better and be more engaged with that would make me feel more whole?'”
“And I did that,” she told CBS News in 2022, explaining that “everybody only has 100 percent” to give.
“You always have to figure out how you’re going to divide that 100 percent,” Cameron continued, “to spread it to all that parts of your life that matter.”
“I’m so grateful and so happy, and it’s the best thing ever,” Cameron gushed of motherhood in a 2020 Instagram Live. “I’m so lucky to do it with Benj and we’re having the best time. I’m thrilled.”
Describing Benji as “amazing,” she added, “I’m so lucky he’s my baby’s father. He’s incredible.”
Likewise, the guitarist feels there’s something about Cameron. As he put it in a birthday tribute to his love in August, “You do it all.”
“So grateful to have our family and I am one lucky man,” he wrote on Instagram. “I know that seems obvious but it really is nice to say it out loud now and then when you’re feeling it. I love you forever.”
