Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Welcome Second Child: ‘We Are Blessed’
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are proud parents to a new baby boy.
The actress, 51, and Good Charlotte co-founder, 45, announced the birth of their second child through social media on Friday (March 22).
“We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden,” the couple wrote in a joint statement on their Instagram accounts. “He is awesome and We are all so happy he is here!”
A colorful illustration accompanying the post includes words that read, “A little bird whispered to me,” likely a nod to Cardinal’s name.
Diaz and Madden added that fans won’t be seeing photos of their new bundle of joy anytime soon. “For the kids safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures- but he’s a really cute,” they wrote. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful … Sending much love from our fam to yours … Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”
The joyous post drew comments from celebrities including Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and Lionel Richie, among others. “Another earth angel,” the “Firework” singer wrote alongside a black heart emoji.
Diaz and Madden met in 2014 through Benji’s twin brother and bandmate, Joel Madden, and his wife, Nicole Richie.
In January 2015, the actress and musician tied the knot and later welcomed their first child, daughter Raddix, in December 2019.
“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,” Diaz wrote on social media at the time. “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:).”
