In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood power couple Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have announced the birth of their baby boy, Cardinal. The news came as a shock to fans who were unaware of the couple's plans to expand their family.

Madden took to Instagram to share the joyous announcement, writing, "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!" However, the couple has decided to prioritize their children's safety and privacy and will not be sharing any pictures of their adorable new addition.

Reports suggest that Cameron and Benji had always hoped for another child, as they thoroughly enjoy the experience of being parents. An insider close to the couple revealed, "For years, Cameron wanted to be a mom. She gets very emotional when she talks about the long journey to motherhood. She feels beyond lucky to now have two children."

The arrival of Cardinal seems to align with rumors circulated in July 2022, suggesting that Cameron and Benji were considering surrogacy options to expand their family. The couple's desire for a larger family was echoed by the insider who claimed, "Benji always wanted a big family, and Cameron didn't need to be persuaded after the arrival of their daughter."

This joyous occasion follows the birth of their first child, daughter Raddix, who was welcomed via surrogate when Diaz was 48 years old. Reflecting on her decision to become a mother later in life, Diaz shared her perspective on Naomi Campbell's YouTube series No Filter. She explained, "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."

Cameron Diaz, known for her roles in iconic films like "Charlie's Angels," and her musician husband Benji Madden, the Good Charlotte rockstar, are now reveling in the joys of parenthood with their two beautiful children.

As fans send their well wishes to the happy family, the arrival of Cardinal Madden further adds to the list of surprise celebrity births in 2024. It seems that surprise baby announcements continue to captivate the world, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news from their favorite stars.

Congratulations to Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden on the arrival of baby boy Cardinal, a new addition that undoubtedly brings immeasurable happiness and love to their lives.
