Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden announce the birth of their second child

A Private Couple Shares Big News

Married for over nine years, the actress and the musician have largely kept their family life out of the spotlight. The couple welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2019 and chose to raise her away from public attention.

Now, they’ve quietly welcomed their second child—a baby boy named Cardinal Madden.

The Announcement Took Fans by Surprise

The couple made the unexpected announcement on Instagram Friday, posting a piece of artwork that read, “A little bird whispered to me.”

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!”

Protecting Their Children’s Privacy

As with their daughter, the couple emphasized privacy. “For the kids’ safety and privacy, we won’t be posting any pictures,” they wrote. “But he’s really cute! We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours.”

Diaz and Madden have consistently shielded their children from the spotlight. They tied the knot in 2015 and didn’t announce Raddix’s birth until after her arrival. At the time, Diaz said Raddix had “instantly captured our hearts and completed our family,” while also explaining their decision to avoid sharing photos or details.

A Journey Filled with Hope

According to sources close to the couple, welcoming children hasn’t come easily. One insider revealed, “They went through so much to get to this point.”

While they haven’t commented publicly, reports suggest their first child was born via surrogacy.

A source added, “Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.”

Mixed Reactions from the Public

Not everyone received the news with joy. Some Instagram users criticized the couple for becoming parents later in life. “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51?” one person wrote. Another added, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.”

But as with most personal choices, public opinions vary. And for Cameron and Benji, it’s clear their focus is on family, love, and protecting their children—no matter what others think.

Final Thought

Despite the surprise and occasional criticism, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are embracing life as a family of four. With a strong bond and a shared desire for privacy, they’re celebrating this next chapter in their own quiet, meaningful way.
