51-year-old actress Cameron Diaz and her 45-year-old musician husband, Benji Madden, have quietly welcomed their second child. The couple announced the birth of their son, Cardinal, via Instagram on Friday.
The announcement featured artwork with the words “A little bird whispered to me,” symbolizing the arrival of their newest family member. Madden expressed their joy in the caption, 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!”
True to their commitment to privacy, Diaz and Madden did not share photos of Cardinal or their older daughter, Raddix. Madden emphasized their gratitude and love, concluding with warm wishes to everyone.
The couple’s approach to privacy is consistent with their past actions. They married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019, keeping her arrival low-key until after her birth. Diaz’s announcement for Raddix expressed their happiness and a desire to shield her from the public eye, revealing only minimal details.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Raddix was born through surrogacy, a challenging journey that led to their joyous moment. Diaz considers her children miracles, cherishing the experiences that brought them into her life.
However, not all responses to their news have been positive. Some people expressed surprise and skepticism, questioning the couple’s decision to expand their family later in life. Despite differing opinions, Madden and Diaz remain focused on their family’s happiness and well-being, prioritizing their privacy above all else.
