Actor Cameron Diaz and musician Benji Madden are now parents of three. The couple shared the family update on Monday, May 4, when Madden posted an Instagram image of a pirate ship labeled “Nautas Madden.” According to People Magazine, the post announced the birth of their third child, a son named Nautas Madden. Diaz and Madden have kept much of their home life out of public view for years, so the baby news quickly drew attention. The pair are already parents to daughter Raddix Wildflower and son Cardinal.

Madden used Instagram to mark the moment with a personal message about their growing family. “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!!” Benji Madden told People Magazine. He also included drawings alongside the pirate ship image, including a cardinal and a potted plant. The post kept the focus on celebration while staying in line with the couple’s long-standing preference for privacy around their children.
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Keep Family Life Private
That privacy has been a defining part of their relationship as parents. They do not share photos of their children online and rarely speak about them in interviews. Even with this announcement, the couple chose a simple post rather than a detailed family update. Their children are daughter Raddix Wildflower Madden, 6, son Cardinal Madden, 2, and now baby Nautas. The low-key approach fits how Diaz and Madden have handled major family milestones since becoming parents, keeping public attention at a distance while sharing only select moments.
Cameron Diaz Has Spoken About Motherhood Later in Life
While Diaz avoids discussing her children directly, she has opened up about becoming a mother later in life. In a 2022 interview with BBC Radio 2’s Michelle Visage, she reflected on how different the experience can feel at her age. “The women who have children my age are like, literally 20 years younger and that's an interesting place to be because I'm not that age,” said Cameron Diaz. She added, “And that's totally OK. But I want to feel vital like that for my child.” Her comments offered a rare look at how seriously she approaches parenting.
A Growing Family Brings Another Joyful Chapter
After the birth of their second child in 2024, a source said the couple felt deeply grateful to expand their family. Diaz has also spoken before about the commitment that comes with parenting later in life, including her lighthearted remark that she hopes to live past 100 for her kids. This new chapter adds another milestone to one of Hollywood’s more private marriages. With Nautas joining Raddix and Cardinal, Diaz and Madden are embracing life as a family of five and keeping the focus where they prefer it most: at home.
