Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcomed their third child, Nautas Madden, on May 4, 2026. This announcement comes just months after Diaz made her Hollywood comeback with the Netflix film ‘Back in Action’.
Nautas means “Sailor, navigator, voyager. One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.” The couple expressed their joy through social media. Benji shared, “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!!”
Cameron Diaz is 53 years old and Benji Madden is 47. They married in 2015 and have two other children: Raddix, born in December 2019, and Cardinal, born in March 2024. Both Raddix and Cardinal were born via surrogacy after the couple faced struggles with infertility.
Reflecting on her journey into motherhood, Diaz has said, “I love being a mother. I’m so grateful and so happy and it’s the best thing ever and I’m so lucky to do it with Benji.” The couple’s path to parenthood has not been easy—Diaz took a decade-long acting hiatus starting in 2014 to focus on building their family.
After returning to acting in January 2025 with ‘Back in Action’, Diaz starred alongside Keanu Reeves in the film ‘Outcome’, released in April 2026. Her fans eagerly welcomed her back to the screen.
Diaz has openly discussed the challenges of becoming a parent later in life: “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.” Many observers see Nautas as a miracle for the couple.
The couple’s announcement has sparked interest in celebrity news circles as they balance family life with their careers. They are now navigating parenting three children while also managing their professional commitments.
