Cameron Diaz & Benji Madden Seen with Her Daughter & Son for the First Time, Igniting Online Reactions

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden had a family-filled weekend! The ever-glowing “Holiday” star and her rocker husband were spotted enjoying a rare and heartwarming stroll through their Santa Barbara neighborhood with their two adorable kiddos.

Keeping it effortlessly cool, Diaz rocked a laidback look in a loose-fitting black T-shirt and matching pants. With white sandals on her feet and sunglasses perched on her face, she looked every bit the chic mom while pushing a stroller carrying the couple’s newborn son.

Madden, went for an all-black outfit. He added a bit of flair with a silver chain and a jungle-green hat. With a backpack on his shoulders and white shopping bags in hand, he strolled alongside their 4-year-old daughter, Raddix. The young girl totally stole the show with her cool outfit.

In true kid fashion, the 4-year-old rocked some festive Christmas pajamas and pink cowgirl boots – a combo that couldn’t be more adorable. Given Diaz’s private nature, this rare family outing has sparked a wave of reactions online. Fans have flocked to social media to gush over the couple’s sweet family moments.

“Such a beautiful family,” one admirer wrote, while another chimed in with, “Amazing.” One fan pointed out Diaz’s unwavering commitment to her loved ones, adding, “Cameron Diaz is no joke when it comes to family first.” Compliments continued to pour in, with many simply appreciating her “beautiful family.”

Others couldn’t hide their joy for the actress. “Love this lady so much. I am glad she’s happy,” one supporter gushed. And, of course, the cool outfit choice by Raddix didn’t go unnoticed. Her bold fashion statement had some fans singing praises for Diaz’s laid-back parenting style.

One person even commented, “Please look at what their child has on. Christmas PJs. Ok with me, but all you mamas who think you need a new outfit every time your child walks out the door may want to save some money.” Not all the comments focused on the outfits, though. Diaz’s age also stirred up a conversation. “A baby at 51?!” one person questioned.

But a fan was quick to jump to her defense, explaining, “It’s no big deal for millionaires to have a baby at 51—they have surrogates and several nannies to help once it’s born.” With kind words, they wrapped it up, saying, “Good luck to her, everyone deserves a chance at happiness.”

Diaz and Madden, who have been married since 2015, added a sweet surprise to their love story when they secretly welcomed their second child in March. The couple, known for keeping their personal lives under wraps, delighted fans with the news of their new addition.

While the couple didn’t share any pictures to protect the identity of their newborn son, netizens focused on another aspect of the situation. Surrogacy, and Diaz’s age, became the main topics of discussion.

Social media users were baffled as to why Diaz would want to add a newborn to the family at her age. “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” An Instagram user wrote, seconded by others who “can’t imagine raising a baby at 51,” and “could never have a baby at that age.”

“Think that’s crazy to have a baby at 51,” one netizen opined as the happy news circulated online. However, some of the negative comments received backlash from fellow Instagram users.

“Dear lord, ya’ll act like she’s 51, wheelchair-bound and in a nursing home. She’s a very active woman and clearly is able to raise her child (sic),” a netizen fired back.

The actress indeed went through a time when she thought she would never marry or have children. “This was just fear. Yeah, I was just scared. I was afraid I wouldn’t, you know, find a partner. I had no luck,” Diaz told Gwyneth Paltrow during an interview.

But then she found a partner in Madden, and the pair rang in the new decade in 2020 with their first child, daughter, Raddix.

However, Diaz doesn’t see becoming a mother later in life as a hindrance. Having grown as a person, Diaz explained that she can now go “into the consciousness of parenting” from a place of non-judgment having expanded as a person.

“I think it’s part of being an older mother, you know. I mean like being a mother at the age that I am, I don’t think I could have been this parent at 25,” she said.

Thoroughly enjoying motherhood, Diaz sees her influence over their development as a highlight. “All mothers have this moment where you are watching your child, and they are doing something for the first time, and you like, ‘I remember doing that,'” Diaz mused.

Now a mother of a girl and a boy, Diaz’s experience of motherhood is about to expand, and the couple couldn’t be happier after the arrival of the latest edition to their now family of four.

The couple shared their elation, stating, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden❤️.”

The announcement was accompanied by an artistic image that speaks volumes. The snapshot’s phrase “A little bird whispered to me” seems to be a creative nod to their son’s unique name, ‘Cardinal,’ which refers to a vibrant red North American bird.

In an affectionate note to their fans, the parents expressed their contentment and assured fans of their son’s charm: “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!” They emphasized their intention to protect their child’s privacy, “For the kid’s safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures.”

Gratitude and love are the central themes of their message as they conclude with heartfelt thanks. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful,” they said, reaching out to their community, “Sending much love from our fam to yours ✨ Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”

A month after announcing the birth of their son, Diaz resumed work. The 51-year-old actress was spotted on the set of her new film “Outcome,” marking her return to the big screen alongside Hollywood stars, Keanu Reeves and Matt Bomer.

The dark comedy, which is currently shooting in Los Angeles, has fans buzzing as Diaz balances her newfound motherhood with her ever-thriving career.
