Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have been married for over nine years now, and they’ve always kept their family life pretty private. Since welcoming their first child, daughter Raddix, four years ago, the couple has kept their little ones out of the spotlight, which has only made fans more curious about their growing family.
Well, the wait is over! It turns out that Cameron and Benji are now parents to TWO children. Yes, you read that right! They just welcomed their second child, a baby boy named **Cardinal Madden**, and the couple shared the joyful news with fans on Instagram.
In a sweet post, Benji shared an artwork captioned, “A little bird whispered to me,” announcing the arrival of their son. The announcement caught everyone by surprise, as the couple had kept the pregnancy completely under wraps.
Benji wrote in the caption: “We are blessed and excited. He is here!” Adding a personal touch, he shared that although they wouldn’t be posting any photos for privacy and safety reasons, their new son is “absolutely adorable” and that their hearts are full of gratitude. He also passed along warm wishes to fans: “Our family sends their warmest regards to yours. Good day and best wishes!”
The couple has always been private about their personal lives. They’ve been married since 2015, and in 2019, they became parents for the first time with the birth of their daughter, Raddix. Just like with Cardinal, they kept the news of Raddix’s arrival a secret until after she was born. Cameron expressed her happiness and gratitude in an Instagram post, saying, “She has utterly won our hearts and brought our family full circle.”
As with Raddix, they’ve made it clear that protecting their children’s privacy is their top priority. Cameron’s original birth announcement for Raddix said, “Although we are ecstatic to announce this, we are also deeply concerned about safeguarding the privacy of our child,” with the fun addition, “Some would even say she’s RAD!”
There has been some speculation around the couple’s journey to parenthood. A source revealed that the couple faced significant challenges before they were able to bring Raddix into the world, calling her a “true miracle.” While Cameron and Benji have never publicly confirmed the details, reports suggest that Raddix was conceived via surrogacy.
As expected, not everyone has been supportive of their decision to start a family later in life. One Instagram user remarked, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” while another said, “Wow… she is rather elderly; I pray they find a surrogate for her.”
Of course, everyone has their own opinion on when the “right time” to have kids is, but at the end of the day, Cameron and Benji are clearly over the moon about their growing family. 🌟
Congratulations to the happy family on their beautiful new addition! We wish them all the best as they enjoy this next chapter of their journey together. ❤️
