Cameron Diaz<\/a>, 53, and Benji Madden, 47, have welcomed their third child. The Good Charlotte rock star announced he and his actress wife welcomed their son via an Instagram<\/a> post on Monday (4 May).<\/p>\n

Rather than share a picture of the newborn, Benji shared picture if a ship, a nod to their son’s unique name. He wrote: \u201cCameron and I are Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third Child, Nautas Madden. Welcome to the world<\/a> Son!!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love life with our family- our kids are healthy&happy, and we are grateful!! having a blast. Sending all our best wishes- the Madden Family.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the picture Benji shared, Nautas means “Sailor, navigator, voyager. One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.”<\/p>\n

Underneath the picture, Cameron added a bunch of star emojis, along with love hearts. Fans sent messages of support in the comments as well. One said: “Congratulations @benjaminmadden and @camerondiaz you absolutely wonderful people! So so happy for you both.”<\/p>\n

Another added: “The best parents! All a blessing to watch @benjaminmadden @camerondiaz love you all SO much.” A third said: “Oh snap this is amazing news. Congratz @benjaminmadden and @camerondiaz”.<\/p>\n

Cameron and Benji married in 2015 and already have a daughter, Raddix, born via a surrogate in December 2019, and a son, Cardinal, born in March 2024. Cardinal was also born via surrogate.<\/p>\n

At the time of Raddix’s birth, a source told Us Weekly<\/a> that the couple had struggled with fertility before turning to surrogacy. The source said: “They went through so much to get to this point. Cameron feels like this baby is truly a miracle.” Another source had previously told the publication that Cameron and Benji had tried IVF, acupuncture and supplements to have a baby.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Cameron shared that being a mother was the “best, best part” of her life. She told Entertainment Tonight<\/a>: “I love being a mother. I’m so grateful and so happy and it’s the best thing ever and I’m so lucky to do it with Benji.”<\/p>\n

The birth of her third child comes not long after Cameron’s return to the screen. Her first film in a decade, Back In Action, was released in January last year, and her second, Outcome, was released in April 2026.<\/p>\n

At Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Cameron previously explained that she took a step back from acting in 2015 because she wanted to “reclaim” her life and focus on building a family.<\/p>\n

She said: It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life and I just really didn\u2019t care about anything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s opinion, nobody\u2019s success, no one\u2019s offer, no one\u2019s 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, \u2018What are you passionate about?\u2019 For me, it was to build my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
