Benji Madden Welcomes Nautus in May 2026, Growing Family to Three
benji madden and Cameron Diaz welcomed their third child, Nautus, in May 2026, adding a son to a family that has kept its children largely out of public view. The couple now has three children: daughter Raddix and sons Cardinal and Nautus.
The May 2026 arrival extends a family timeline that began after Diaz and Madden wed in January 2015 and started a family in late 2019. Their pattern has been consistent: announce the milestone, then stop short of sharing more than the basics.
January 2020 and March 2024
In January 2020, they announced the birth of Raddix with a message that said, “We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden.” They added, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family,” and Madden said at the time, “We … feel a strong instinct to protect our little one’s privacy.”
That approach held in March 2024, when the couple announced Cardinal’s birth and wrote, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden❤️?. He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!” They also said, “For the kids safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures — but he’s a really cute.”
Privacy First for the Maddens
Madden has already drawn a clear line around what they will not share. After Raddix arrived, he said, “W won’t be posting pictures or sharing more details, other than the fact that she is really really cute!! Some would say RAD.” That same instinct shaped the years that followed, with the children kept out of the spotlight after the family formed in late 2019.
Diaz added another small but useful detail in 2022, when she said on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “It’s really imperative to repair.” The comment fit the family’s low-profile routine: three children, one daughter and two sons, and very little public exposure beyond the birth announcements themselves.
Nautus Joins Raddix, Cardinal
The May 2026 message about Nautus kept to the same template. The couple said they were “happy, excited and … so BLESSED,” and added, “Welcome to the world Son!! We love life with our family — our kids are healthy & happy, and we are grateful!! Having a blast, sending all our best wishes.”
For readers tracking the family’s timeline, the practical takeaway is simple: Diaz and Madden have made their privacy policy part of the story. They have now added a third child without shifting that line, which means the birth is likely to remain the main public update rather than the start of a wider rollout of family details.
