Cameron Diaz welcomes third child, Nautas Madden, in May 4 announcement
cameron diaz and Benji Madden added a third child to their family on Monday, 4 May, when he announced the birth of their son, Nautas Madden. The post landed with a direct message about family, but no newborn photo, keeping the announcement centered on the name and the couple’s growing household.
Benji Madden, 47, wrote, “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!!” He added, “We love life with our family- our kids are healthy&happy, and we are grateful!! having a blast. Sending all our best wishes- the Madden Family.”

The caption also included the words, “Sailor, navigator, voyager. One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.” That framing matched the image he posted: a ship rather than a photograph of the newborn. Cameron Diaz, 53, responded underneath with a run of star emojis and heart symbols, a small but public signal that the family chose to handle the news on their own terms.
The announcement fits a pattern that has defined this family for years. Diaz and Madden married in 2015, welcomed their daughter Raddix via a surrogate in December 2019, and had a son named Cardinal via surrogate in March 2024. A source said, “They went through so much to get to this point. Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.”

That path also included IVF, acupuncture and supplements, according to another source, which makes the size of the family here the real story: three children, all arriving after a long and deliberate effort. Diaz has also spoken plainly about stepping away from the film world in 2015, saying, “For me, it was to build my family.”
She returned to screens with her first film in a decade, Back In Action, released in January last year, and followed with Outcome in April 2026. For now, the immediate takeaway is simple: the family has grown again, and Madden chose a post that treated the birth less like a celebrity rollout than a private milestone shared in public.
