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 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:).”

Benji Madden rarely posts on Instagram, but his wife Cameron Diaz’s 51st birthday is definitely something to celebrate with a sweet post.
“I’m off line mostly these days, just working, painting, making things and doing family life, but I have grown to like my little tradition of coming back on special occasions to show love to my Queen,” the rocker wrote on Wednesday (Aug. 30) alongside a photo of the actress cuddling the couple’s cat. “So today, it’s a very Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife, best friend, best partner in everything, ride or die, greatest Mom to our little girl, @Avaline wine boss, family chef, advisor, collaborator and everything else. You do it all ❤️So grateful to have our family and I am one lucky man – I know that seems obvious but it really is nice to say it out loud now and then when you’re feeling it ❤️ 🙏 I love you •forever •always •yours •true love ❤️ Happy Birthday Cameron.”

In September 2021, Diaz was a guest on the Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast and discussed first meeting Madden. “I met mine through my now sister-in-law and brother-in-law, I met them first and then they didn’t set us up but we were in the same room because of them, and then we found each other,” she explained.
“I was like, ‘How come I didn’t see him before?’” Diaz continued, before her business partner, Katherine Power, chimed in, “Which is funny because you saw his twin brother.”
“They’re not the same, they’re so different,” Diaz replied. “Even though they’re twins, they’re very, very different obviously.”
