Cameron Diaz, 53, has welcomed her third baby with husband Benji Madden, 47, the Good Charlotte rocker announced Monday.
“Cameron and I are Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third Child, Nautas Madden,” Benji shared on Instagram alongside an image of a ship — a nod to his son’s nautical name.
“Welcome to the world Son!!”
In the comments section, Diaz herself replied with five heart emojis.
Benji’s post also included a meaning behind the name Nautas, which read: “Sailor, navigator, voyager. One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.”
Diaz and Madden, who married in 2015, are already parents to daughter Raddix, six, and son Cardinal, two. The famously private pair have largely kept their family life out of the spotlight, only occasionally sharing updates with fans.
The news comes just over a year after Diaz made her Hollywood comeback in Netflix’s aptly-named title, Back in Action.
The Holiday star took a decade-long acting hiatus in 2014, a period she has since described as the “best” of her life.
“I was just free to just say, ‘I’m a mom, I’m a wife, I’m living my life,’” she said on The Graham Norton Show last year.
Back in October 2024, during an appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Diaz said of her hiatus: “It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life and I just really didn’t care about anything else.”
“Nobody’s opinion, nobody’s success, no one’s offer, no one’s anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have. I think it really comes to, ‘What are you passionate about?’ For me, it was to build my family.”
Diaz previously discussed her decision to semi-retire on an episode of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Health: The Sessions.
The actor said that she “had gone so hard for so long, working, making films and it’s such a grind,” adding: “When you’re making a movie, it’s a perfect excuse — they own you. You’re there for 12 hours a day for months on end and you have no time for anything else.”
She said that being in the spotlight was “intense,” adding: “There’s a lot of energy coming at you at all times when you’re really visible as an actor and doing press and putting yourself out there.”
Diaz currently stars in Jonah Hill’s new movie, Outcome, alongside Keanu Reeves. The Apple TV film follows an actor (Reeves) who embarks on an apology tour after a blackmail threat.
Diaz is also set to reprise her voice role as Princess Fiona in Shrek 5, scheduled for release in 2027.
