Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcome baby number 2

Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have been married for more than nine years. Four years ago, they welcomed their daughter and have since maintained her privacy from the public eye. Recently, it appears they have welcomed their second child. Continue reading to discover more about this new addition to their family.

Cameron Diaz, aged 51, and her husband Benji Madden, aged 45, celebrated the arrival of their son, Cardinal, on Friday. The couple announced the birth on Instagram, sharing the joyful news together. They accompanied their announcement with a photo of artwork that featured the phrase, “A little bird whispered to me.” This revelation came as a surprise to many, as the couple had not disclosed their expectation of a child.

In his 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 commitment to their children’s safety and privacy, stating, “For the kids’ safety and privacy, we won’t be posting any pictures—but he’s really cute.” They concluded with a message of gratitude, saying, “We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our family to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon.”

The couple is known for their desire for privacy. They married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2019, keeping her arrival under wraps until after her birth when they shared the news on social media.

In the announcement for Raddix, Cameron Diaz expressed, “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 further noted, “While we are 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 any more details, other than the fact that she is really, really cute!! Some would even say RAD :)”
A source familiar with the couple has revealed that they faced numerous challenges in their journey to parenthood. “They endured a great deal to reach this milestone,” the source stated. Furthermore, it was mentioned that “Cameron perceives this child as a genuine miracle.” The source also disclosed that Raddix was welcomed into the world via surrogacy, a detail the couple has chosen not to publicly address.

Following the announcement of their second child, reactions were mixed. One user on Instagram remarked, “Who in their right mind wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” while another expressed concern, stating, “Oh my, she is quite old; I hope they opted for a surrogate.”

It appears that not everyone is in agreement with their choice to expand their family at this stage in their lives. However, differing opinions are commonplace in such matters.
