Cameron Diaz announces birth of first child with husband Benji Madden

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have welcomed their first child.

The actress, 47, said she and her husband, Good Charlotte member Benji Madden, have a baby girl called Raddix.

The couple - who are very private about their marriage - had remained quiet about the pregnancy and did not share publicly that they were expecting their first child.

She wrote on Instagram: "Happy New Year from the Maddens! We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden.

"She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family. While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one's privacy.

"So we won't be posting pictures or sharing any more details other than the fact that she is really really cute!! Some would even say RAD!"

Madden, 40, also shared the same post on his Instagram page with the same caption.

In August she opened up about their relationship to InStyle magazine and told the publication: "Getting married to him was the best thing that ever happened to me. My husband's the best. He's the greatest human being, and he's my great partner. Marriage is certainly hard, and it's a lot of work.

"You need somebody who's willing to do the work with you, because there's no 60-40 in marriage. It's 50-50 period. All the time."
