Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have been married for over nine years. They had their first child, a daughter, four years ago, but they kept her away from the public eye.
Now, they surprised everyone by announcing the arrival of their second child, a son named Cardinal.
The news was unexpected since the couple has always been secretive about their personal lives. They shared the announcement on Instagram with a piece of artwork saying, “A little bird whispered to me,” revealing the birth of their son.
They mentioned they won’t be sharing any photos of their children for safety and privacy reasons.
This isn’t the first time the couple kept their family news private. They got married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019, only announcing her birth afterward. Cameron Diaz wrote about Raddix, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”
Though the couple is thrilled about their new addition, they are also keen on protecting their children’s privacy. They haven’t shared any details about their son’s birth, but a close source mentioned they faced challenges to have their daughter and consider her a miracle.
Some people have criticized Cameron’s age, being 51, for having a child. However, despite the criticism, Benji and Cameron are happy and grateful for their growing family. They’ve chosen to keep their children out of the public eye, and their decision should be respected.
As they begin this new journey as a family of four, we wish them all the best.
