Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have welcomed a second child together.
The 51-year-old actress and the 45-year-old musician used Instagram to share the news about their son, Cardinal Madden.
They said: ‘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!
‘For the kids safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures- but he’s a really cute.
‘We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!’
Cameron and Benji – who married in January 2015 – welcomed daughter Raddix in 2019.
Fans and friends flooded the couple’s Instagram announcement with love and support, with Katy Perry writing: ‘Another Earth angel’, and Benji’s brothers Joel and Josh posting a series of hearts.
The Bad Teacher actress previously raved about Benji’s great dad skills.
During an interview with chat show host Jimmy Fallon, she said: ‘He’s like, Benj at home, being the best dad ever and running all of his businesses, and then he just gets up there [on stage] and he’s like, “Yeah, all right, pyro! Pfft”.
‘Yeah, he makes up — he has, honestly, I’m like, “Why don’t we just…you need to do a kids’ album,” because he has the best songs.
‘They play in my head all the time because he sings them to her and she knows the words. And it’s the sweetest thing ever. It really is. It’s so…it kills me.’
She elsewhere was claimed to be taking a step back from her career, after announcing a hiatus in 2018, because her long workdays filming ‘have been a lot on her and she hates being away from Raddix.’
In 2021, the award-winning actress gave a rare interview where she explained acting was taking her away from other important parts in her life.
She told Kevin Hart’s Hart to Hart podcast: ‘ ‘When you do something at a really high level for a long period of time, when you’re the person that is delivering one thing, you’re the person on the screen, all parts of you that isn’t that has to sort of be handed off to other people.’
Cameron said this included ‘different parts of my life, my home, every aspect, from finance, just the management of me as a human being, not me as Cameron Diaz the machine.’
She added that while she ‘loves acting’ and ‘could go forever,’ she realized there were ‘so many parts of my life that I wasn’t touching and that I wasn’t managing.’
Cameron and Benji met after they were introduced by Nicole Richie at a party, who is married to his twin brother Joel.
