What to know about Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden's family
For over two decades, actress Cameron Diaz made her mark in Hollywood, becoming an A-list movie star in her own right. And more recently, Diaz has embraced a new chapter in her life as a mother of three.
"I love being a mother. It's the best, best, best part of my life," Diaz said in an April 2020 interview with Katherine Power, then the CEO of the digital fashion publication company and lifestyle brand Who What Wear.
"I'm so lucky to do it with Benj, and we're having the best time. I'm thrilled," she added of her husband, musician Benji Madden, of the rock band Good Charlotte.
Diaz and Madden became parents of three in 2026 with the birth of their third child, a son they named Nautas Madden.
The couple, who wed in 2015, welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2019, and their second child, a son, in 2024.
Although the celebrity couple are keen on protecting their young children's privacy by not sharing their photos online, the proud parents of two have opened up in the past about their excitement about starting a family.
"The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years," Diaz told Gwyneth Paltrow in a May 2020 interview with "The Goop Podcast." "It's totally opened up. I'm excited. I've got 50 or 60 years to go -- I want to live to be 110, since I've got a young child. I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her -- be there with her in her 40s."
While speaking on a panel at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit in October 2024, the actress discussed her decision to take time from her acting career to start a family.
"It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn't care about anything else," she said. "Nobody's opinion, nobody's success, no one's offer, no one's anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have. I think it really comes to what are you passionate about, for me it was to build my family."
