Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have joyfully announced the birth of their second child, a son named Cardinal. The couple, known for their private lifestyle, shared the news via Instagram on Friday, posting an image with the words “A little bird whispered to me.” In the caption, Madden wrote, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden,” adding, “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!”

The couple emphasized their desire for privacy, stating they would not be sharing any photos of Cardinal. Diaz, 51, and Madden, 45, previously welcomed their daughter Raddix in 2019, keeping that pregnancy under wraps as well.

A source previously revealed that the couple went through a lot to have Raddix, reportedly through surrogacy, although they have not confirmed this publicly. Once again, fans were surprised by the news, as no one was aware they were expecting a second child.

While many fans congratulated the couple, some criticized Diaz’s age, questioning her decision to have a baby at 51. Despite differing opinions, Diaz and Madden remain focused on their growing family, expressing gratitude and joy as they welcome their son into the world.
