Benji Madden has penned a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Cameron Diaz, as she celebrated entering her final year of her forties.
The 42-year-old Good Charlotte singer has been married to Hollywood star Cam since 2015, and together they have a one-year-old daughter named Raddix.
But on Monday, it was all about Cameron for Benji as he marked her 49th birthday with a gushing statement on Instagram alongside a curious piece of artwork.
Taking to the photo-sharing app, Benji shared an image of a painting of a haunted looking figure standing before a white background, with a blood-red shape hanging in the sky.
Benji wrote: “Happy Birthday to my Wife, you are beautiful in all ways, we are so lucky to have you.”
He continued: “what you do who you are day in and day out to the ones you love always true blue- hard to put it all in a IG post but I love to have a reason to say it out loud I love you.”
Cameron’s brothers-in-law also chimed in to gush over the Charlie’s Angels actress – with Joel writing: “the best” alongside three red hearts.

While Josh Madden described Cameron as the “brightest loveliest light” in his own tribute to the star typed in the comments section.
Last year, Cameron gushed about being the wife of her rock star husband.
She told the Gucci Westman webcast: “I love being married.
”The best thing that ever happened to me is finding my husband and our partnership and his friendship and all that.”
While the actress has also stated she has retired from acting in 2018 and before becoming a mother in December 2019.
She told Gwyneth Paltrow: “I got a peace in my soul. Because I was finally taking care of myself.”
Defending her decision to retire, the star said: “It’s a strange thing to say. I know a lot of people won’t understand it.
“But it’s so intense to work at that level and be that public and put yourself out there.
“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.
“I’m sensitive to some energies and not others, but I do get the overwhelming energy of the attention being put towards me. I stopped, I really looked at my life, and I saw what I had been [missing].”
Admitting her acting work took over her life, she continued: “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, you have no time for anything else. I realized I handed off parts of my life to all these other people and they took it.”
She added: “I had to basically take it back and take responsibility for my own life. That’s my job. There’s a lot of things I had to iron out, a lot of relationships I had to repair, a lot of relationships I had to build that were absent in my life.”
While in an interview with Naomi Campbell last year, she discussed having a baby at 47, saying: "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."
