The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram with a photo of a piece of artwork that read, “A little bird whispered to me.” This surprise announcement took many fans off guard, as no one had known the couple was expecting another child.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are known for keeping their personal lives extremely private. They tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2019. Similar to their recent announcement, they kept the news of Raddix’s arrival under wraps, only revealing it on social media after her birth. Diaz shared their joy in the birth announcement, saying, “We are so happy, blessed, and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden. She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”
She added, “While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one’s privacy. 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 :)” According to a source close to the couple, they faced significant challenges in having their daughter. The source revealed, “They went through so much to get to this point.” They added, “Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle,” noting that Raddix was born through surrogacy, a detail the couple has never publicly commented on.
The announcement of their second baby was met with mixed reactions. Some people criticized the couple’s decision to have another child at this stage in their lives. One Instagram user commented, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” while another wrote, “Omg. She is so old, I hope they have a surrogate.” Despite the criticism, many fans and well-wishers supported and celebrated the couple’s growing family.
This latest chapter in Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden’s lives is a testament to their dedication to family and their willingness to face challenges together. Their decision to keep their children’s lives private reflects their commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for their kids, away from the public eye.
