Actress Cameron Diaz, 51, and musician Benji Madden, 45, surprised fans by announcing the birth of their second child, a son named Cardinal, on Instagram. The couple shared a photo of artwork with the caption revealing the news. Despite their usual privacy, they expressed excitement and gratitude for their new addition but opted not to post photos for the child’s safety.

The couple married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019, also keeping her birth private until after the fact. Diaz described Raddix’s arrival as completing their family and emphasized their commitment to protecting her privacy.

Sources close to the couple revealed that Raddix was born via surrogacy, reflecting the challenges they faced in their journey to parenthood. However, not all reactions to their expanding family were positive, with some expressing surprise and skepticism about Diaz becoming a parent at 51. Despite differing opinions, the couple remains focused on their joy and gratitude for their children.
