Cameron Diaz surprises fans with announcement she’s quietly had third child with Benji Madden
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have quietly expanded their family once again, maintaining their long-held commitment to privacy while balancing a renewed Hollywood career and public interest in their personal lives.
Cameron Diaz has announced the arrival of her third child with husband Benji Madden.
The actress, 53, and her partner, 47, shared the news on Monday (04.05.26) in a characteristically private yet celebratory message to fans.
The pair, who married in 2015 after being introduced by Nicole Richie and Benji’s twin brother Joel Madden, revealed the birth of their son Nautas Madden on Instagram, with Benji writing on the platform: “Cameron and I are Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third Child, Nautas Madden.
“Welcome to the world Son!!”
He continued: “We love life with our family – our kids are healthy and happy, and we are grateful!!! Having a blast.
“Sending all our best wishes – the Madden Family”.
The post featured an image of a ship alongside the meaning of the name Nautas – “Sailor, navigator, voyager” – and the phrase “One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown”.
Cameron responded in the comments with a series of star and heart emojis.
She and Benji, who are also parents to daughter Raddix, six, and son Cardinal, two, have consistently chosen to keep their children out of the public eye, previously confirming that both earlier children were born via surrogate.
The new announcement comes as Cameron continues her return to Hollywood following a decade-long hiatus after starring in the movie Annie, re-emerging with projects including Back in Action alongside Jamie Foxx and the forthcoming Apple TV+ film Outcome with Keanu Reeves, while also preparing to reprise Princess Fiona in a new Shrek instalment slated for 2027.
