Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcomed their third child, a son named Nautas, on May 4, 2026. The couple shared this exciting news with fans through an Instagram post by Madden.
Diaz, who is now 53 years old, expressed her joy about motherhood, stating, “I love being a mother. It’s the best, best, best part of my life.” The couple also has two other children: Raddix Wildflower Madden, born in 2019, and Cardinal Madden, born in 2024.
The name Nautas is derived from the Latin word for sailor. This choice reflects the couple’s unique approach to naming their children while embracing their family’s journey.
Since marrying in 2015, Diaz and Madden have navigated challenges related to infertility. They have used surrogates for their pregnancies, a decision that has become increasingly common among celebrities facing similar struggles.
Cameron Diaz has largely stepped away from the public eye over the past decade but made a notable return to acting in the 2025 film ‘Back in Action.’ She has previously mentioned that starting a family later in life requires hard work and dedication.
Reflecting on her experiences, Diaz remarked, “Having a family when you’re young…it’s like anything when you’re young: You do it. But when you’re my age and you decide to do it, it’s a real choice. You really have to work hard for it.” This perspective resonates with many women who pursue motherhood at different stages of their lives.
Benji Madden announced the birth with enthusiasm: “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!!” His excitement highlights the joy that comes with expanding their family.
As they embrace this new chapter of parenthood, fans are eager to see how this will influence both Diaz’s professional endeavors and her personal life moving forward.
