Surprising Arrival: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Welcome Second Baby at 51 and 45 – Facing Backlash

Benji Madden and Cameron‌ Diaz have been happily married ⁤for over nine years now. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, four years ago ‍and ‍have kept her out of the public eye⁤ since‌ then.⁣ However, the couple ‌has recently announced the arrival of their second child, a son named Cardinal.

The⁤ news came as a ‌surprise to many, as the couple has always been very private about their personal lives. In their joint‌ Instagram ‌announcement, they shared a photo of a piece‍ of artwork with the ⁤words “A little bird whispered to me,” revealing the‌ birth of their son.

The couple’s caption ⁤read, “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!”⁣ They⁢ also mentioned that they will⁣ not be sharing any photos of their children for their safety and privacy.

This is not the⁤ first time the couple has kept their‌ family ⁣news under‍ wraps. They ‍tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix ​in ⁢2019, ⁣only announcing her birth after the fact. In the birth announcement, Cameron Diaz wrote, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”

While the⁢ couple is overjoyed ‍with their new addition, they also feel a strong instinct to protect their children’s privacy. They have not shared any details about their son’s birth, but according to a source close to the couple, they went through a lot ⁤to ⁤have their daughter ​and consider her a miracle.

However, not everyone​ is supportive of their decision to have a ⁢child at ‌this point in ​their lives. Some have criticized Cameron’s age, with one Instagram user commenting, ⁣”Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 yrs old?” But as with ⁣any decision, there will always be differing opinions.

Despite any criticism, Benji and Cameron⁢ are happy and grateful for their growing family. They have chosen to keep their children out of the public eye, and we should respect their decision.

MY MIL “ACCIDENTALLY” DROPPED OUR GENDER REVEAL CAKE – BUT HER SMILE TOLD A DIFFERENT STORY. When I say my MIL ruins milestones, I’m not exaggerating. She wore white to our wedding (“It’s cream”), posted our pregnancy before we could, and blurted our baby name to her bridge group—then “forgot” it was a secret. So for our gender reveal, I kept things small. Honestly, I didn’t even want to invite her. But my husband said, “She means well. She won’t ruin a simple cake-cutting.” Oh, how wrong we were. We hosted it in our backyard—close friends, family, pink-and-blue treats, and a gorgeous cake with the big reveal inside. Jenny, my SIL, picked it up right before the event. Everything was perfect. Then MIL arrived—late, wearing hot pink (subtle), fake air kisses, and circling the cake like a vulture. “It’s so tall,” she said. “Are you sure it’s stable?” Then—right as we were about to cut the cake, cameras ready—she lunged forward. “Oh no, I’ll just move it a little closer—” The cake toppled. Smashed. Frosting and layers everywhere. Gasps. Silence. And MIL? Standing there, hands over her mouth, smiling. Not a big grin—just enough to say, “Oops… guess it’s a girl! Granny knew first!” I turned away, fighting tears. One moment. Just one memory she couldn’t ruin. AND THAT’S WHEN IT HAPPENED. My SIL, Jenny, burst out laughing. “Just like I expected.” She went to her car… and came back with a BOX. ⬇️

MY EX-HUSBAND’S WIFE THREW MY DAUGHTER’S SEWING MACHINE IN THE POOL – I DIDN’T THINK TWICE ABOUT STANDING UP FOR MY DAUGHTER. I (46) am a mother to my 16-year-old daughter, Rachel. She usually lives with me but occasionally stays with her dad and stepmother, whom she despises for being controlling and cruel. Rachel’s stepmother enforces strict rules and gives her no allowance. When her dad refused to help financially, Rachel got a job to save for her dream sewing machine. Rachel worked hard, and I doubled her savings to help her buy the machine. She was thrilled and spent her free time sewing, hoping to turn it into a career. But her stepmother was furious, claiming it was a distraction from chores. After an argument with her for not washing the plates, she THREW Rachel’s sewing machine INTO THE POOL as punishment. Rachel called me, devastated. I immediately went to confront her stepmother, who said she was just teaching Rachel responsibility. Furious, I took Rachel home and decided to teach my ex’s wife a lesson. The next day, her screams made it clear she realized how badly she’d been tricked. What she discovered the next morning left her screaming—keep reading.
