Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have been married for over nine years at this point. They welcomed their daughter four years ago and have kept the little girl out of the public eye since then.
Now, it seems they have welcomed their second child together. Keep reading to learn more about the latest addition to their family.
51-year-old actress Cameron Diaz and her husband, 45-year-old musician Benji Madden, welcomed their second child together on Friday. The couple took to Instagram to jointly announce the birth of their son Cardinal.
The couple shared the news with the help of a photo of a piece of artwork that read, “A little bird whispered to me.” The announcement came as a surprise for most people because no one had known the couple was expecting a child.
In the caption, Madden wrote, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden.” He went on, “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!”
“For the kids safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures- but he’s a really cute,” the caption continued. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”
The couple usually keeps their lives incredibly private. They tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019. Before her birth, they kept quiet about her arrival, only revealing it on social media after her birth.
“We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden,” Cameron Diaz wrote in the birth announcement for her daughter. “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”
“While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one’s privacy,” the caption went on. “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 :)”
According to a source close to the couple, they went through a lot to have their daughter. ” They went through so much to get to this point.” The source added, “Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.” The source shared that Raddix was born through surrogacy, a fact that the couple has never commented upon.
Once the news of the second baby came out, it seems some people were not too happy. One Instagram user commented, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 yrs old?” while another wrote, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.”
It seems not everyone agrees with their decision to have a child at this point in their lives. But of course, there are differences of opinion on everything!
