Unexpected Joy: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Greet Second Child at 51 and 45
Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have been joyfully married for over nine years now. Four years ago, they welcomed their first child, a daughter, and have since kept her out of the public eye. However, the couple recently shared the delightful news of their second child’s arrival, a son named Cardinal.
The announcement caught many by surprise, as Benji and Cameron have always been extremely private about their personal lives. In a joint Instagram post, they revealed the birth of their son with a piece of artwork adorned with the words “A little bird whispered to me.”
The couple’s caption read, “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!” They also mentioned their decision not to share any photos of their children for their safety and privacy.
This isn’t the first time the couple has kept their family news under wraps. They tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019, only announcing her birth after the fact. In the birth announcement, Cameron Diaz wrote, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”
While the couple is overjoyed with their new addition, they also feel a strong instinct to protect their children’s privacy. They have not shared any details about their son’s birth, but according to a source close to the couple, they faced challenges to have their daughter and consider her a miracle.
However, not everyone is supportive of their decision to have a child at this point in their lives. Some have criticized Cameron’s age, with one Instagram user commenting, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 yrs old?” But as with any decision, there will always be differing opinions.
Despite any criticism, Benji and Cameron are happy and grateful for their growing family. They have chosen to keep their children out of the public eye, and we should respect their decision.
