Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have welcomed a new bundle of joy to their family. The couple shared their elation, stating, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden❤️.”
The announcement was accompanied by an artistic image that speaks volumes. The snapshot’s phrase “A little bird whispered to me” seems to be a creative nod to their son’s unique name, ‘Cardinal,’ which refers to a vibrant red North American bird.
In an affectionate note to their fans, the parents expressed their contentment and assured fans of their son’s charm: “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!” They emphasized their intention to protect their child’s privacy, “For the kid’s safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures.”
Gratitude and love are the central themes of their message as they conclude with heartfelt thanks. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful,” they said, reaching out to their community, “Sending much love from our fam to yours ✨ Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”
Diaz is also a devoted and loving mother to her little daughter, Raddix, whom she shares with her doting spouse and musician. The couple have been married since 2015.

In 2019, the lovebirds became first-time parents when they welcomed Raddix on December 30. As parents who prefer to remain private where matters to do with their child are concerned, when Diaz and Madden announced Raddix’s birth, they did not post a photo of her and explained that they did so to protect and prioritize their baby’s privacy.
In 2022, when asked what she enjoys most about motherhood, Diaz answered: “I think just being able to, you know, have influence on a child that’s developing, you know? All mothers have that moment where you’re watching your child, and they’re doing something the first time, and you’re like, ‘I remember doing that!’ It’s really cool!”
Motherhood appears to be a dream come true for Diaz. Far from following the narrative of being the exhausted first-time mother, the movie star confirmed that motherhood is the best experience she has embarked on.
As we previously reported in November 2023, the doting mama bear was seen with her beau and their little girl in a rare family outing. The family enjoyed some time in Montecito and opted for casual wear.
Madden was seen rocking a black hoodie, baseball cap, and loosely fitted pants, while his wife opted for a slightly more chic-causal style with a black button-down shirt, black pants, glasses, green Birkenstocks, and a bag to the value of $1,490. Little Raddix wore a one-piece white outfit and Spiderman sneakers.
Pictures from the day show moments where Diaz held onto her daughter, who was wrangling in her arms after having just kicked off one of her shoes. Reports also stated that Raddix appeared to be full of energy and was seen running around at one point.
