Cameron Diaz And Benji Madden Have Welcomed Their Third Child

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have welcomed their third child, a son named Nautas Madden. Madden shared the news on Instagram on May 4, writing that he and Diaz were “Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED” to announce the birth of their third child. He added, “Welcome to the world Son!!”

The first image in the carousel was a blue-and-gold card-style illustration of a ship with the baby’s name across the bottom. It also included a definition of Nautas drawn from the Latin root nauta-, describing the name as meaning “sailor, navigator, voyager” and “one who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.”

Diaz, 53, and Madden, 47, have kept details about their children largely private. They do not share photos of their kids’ faces publicly, and Madden’s announcement for Nautas did not include any details about when he was born or how he was welcomed into the family.

When Diaz and Madden announced the birth of their daughter Raddix in 2020, reports said she was born via surrogate. When they announced the arrival of their son Cardinal in March 2024, they again shared the news privately, and multiple outlets reported that he was also born via surrogate. The couple has not said whether that was also the case with Nautas.
