“Bad Teacher” star Cameron Diaz and Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden have welcomed their third child ― and this one could be roaming the Seven Seas in no time if his name has anything to do with it. “Cameron and I are Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third Child, Nautas Madden,” the couple wrote in a post shared to Madden’s Instagram on Monday. “Welcome to the world Son!!👊❤️” “We 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,” they added. The announcement featured a drawing of what looks like an old-time pirate ship with the Jolly Roger flying and an explanation of the roots of Nautas ― from the Latin word Nauta, meaning “sailor, navigator, voyager. One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.” Diaz, who launched a comeback in the 2025 movie “Back in Action,” added several heart emojis to the comments, as did Madden’s twin brother and bandmate, Joel. Diaz, 53, and Benji Madden, 47, did not provide details about the birth and, per reports, are extremely private about their family life. We’re reaching out to their reps anyway. The two also have daughter Raddix, 6, and son Cardinal, 2. Diaz has talked generally about becoming a mom later in life. “The women who have children my age are like, literally 20 years younger, and that’s an interesting place to be because I’m not that age,” she told BBC Radio 2′s Michelle Visage in 2022. “And that’s totally OK. But I want to feel vital like that for my child.” By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
