Cameron Diaz, 51, and her husband Benji Madden, 45, have welcomed their second child together, sparking both excitement and debate online. The couple, who have been married for over nine years, shared the news on Instagram with a piece of artwork that read, *“A little bird whispered to me.”* Their son, **Cardinal Madden**, arrived quietly, as most people were unaware the couple was expecting.
In the Instagram caption, Madden wrote: “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!” He added that, for the child’s privacy, they would not be posting any photos but reassured followers that Cardinal is “really cute.” The couple expressed gratitude and love, ending the post with warm wishes to their fans.
Diaz and Madden are known for keeping their family life private. They married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter **Raddix** in 2019, only revealing her arrival on social media after her birth. In the announcement for Raddix, Diaz shared that while they were thrilled, they wanted to protect their child’s privacy, posting no photos and few details. A source close to the couple revealed that Raddix’s birth was particularly special and described her as “truly a miracle,” though the couple has never confirmed that she was born via surrogacy.
As news of their second child spread, not everyone was supportive. Some social media users questioned Diaz’s decision to become a parent at 51, with comments like, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 yrs old?” and, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.” Clearly, opinions are divided — but Diaz and Madden continue to embrace their growing family on their own terms.
