Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz have been together for over nine years and have just announced the birth of their second child, a son named Cardinal. The couple, who has always valued their privacy, surprised fans with the news through a heartfelt Instagram post.
In their joint announcement, the couple shared a piece of artwork with the words “A little bird whispered to me,” signifying the birth of their son. They expressed their joy, saying, “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!” However, they also made it clear that they will not be sharing any photos of their children, emphasizing the importance of their safety and privacy.
This is not the first time Benji and Cameron have kept their family news private. They got married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2019, only revealing her birth afterward. Cameron Diaz wrote, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family” in the birth announcement.
While the couple is thrilled about their new addition, they also feel a strong instinct to protect their children’s privacy. Although they haven’t disclosed any details about Cardinal’s birth, a close source reveals that they had to overcome challenges to have their daughter and consider her a miracle.
Unfortunately, not everyone has been supportive of the couple’s decision to have a child at this stage in their lives. Some have criticized Cameron’s age, with one Instagram user questioning, “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” However, it is important to remember that different people have different perspectives and opinions.
Despite any criticisms, Benji and Cameron are content and grateful for their growing family. They have made the deliberate choice to shield their children from the public eye, and it is our responsibility to respect their decision.
We want to send our warmest wishes to Benji, Cameron, and their children as they embark on this exciting new chapter as a family of four.
