How I Found Happiness

AFTER TURNING HER BACK ON HOLLYWOOD 10 YEARS AGO, CAMERON DIAZ IS LIVING HER BEST LIFE WITH HUSBAND BENJI MADDEN AND THEIR TWO KIDS.
How I Found Happiness

AMERON DIAZ had some good — and surprising — news to share March 23. “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden,” the actress wrote on Instagram in a joint post with her husband of nine years, Benji Madden. “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here! We are feeling so blessed and grateful.”

At 51, Cameron Diaz is finally living her dream. After retiring from acting in 2018, the Charlie’s Angels star has been hunkering down at her $13 million Montecito, Calif., spread with the Good Charlotte guitarist, 45, and their two children (the pair welcomed daughter, Raddix, via surrogate in December 2019), working on herself and finding her way back to happiness. Cardinal’s arrival, also via surrogate, just makes everything sweeter. “Cameron and Benji have always wanted to have more kids,” an insider tells Star. “It took a while but they never lost hope. They are overwhelmed with gratitude.” Being a content mom of two is something Cameron could barely fathom when she was working nonstop. “Getting out of Hollywood saved Cameron’s life,” says an insider. “She’s so much happier now and in such a better mental space.”
