Cameron Diaz, 53, secretly welcomes baby with incredibly unique name

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have welcomed their third child, sharing the happy news in a shock announcement on social media.

Diaz, 53, and Madden, 47, first became parents in 2019 with the birth of their daughter Raddix, with a baby brother, Cardinal, arriving in March 2024.

Now they have added to their brood with baby number three, with the happy dad posting on Instagram to tell fans.

He also revealed their newborn son's unique name and what it means.

"Cameron and I are happy, excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third child, Nautas Madden," Madden wrote, adding: "Welcome to the world son!!

"We love life with our family - our kids are healthy and happy, and we are grateful!!! Having a blast. Sending all our best wishes - the Madden Family."

Wife Diaz commented underneath with a series of stars and love heart emojis.

The couple didn't share any snaps of their third child, instead opting to post a graphic explaining the meaning behind Nautas' name, which is from the Latin root word 'Nauta'.

A picture of a ship was accompanied by an explanation that said: "Sailor, navigator, voyager. One who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown."

It has previously been reported that Diaz and Madden may have grown their family through surrogacy, but they have not publicly confirmed this.

Defending their privacy on Nautas' birth announcement, one fan wrote defiantly: "Say congratulations and move the f**k on. Stop hunting for details."

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon about becoming a mum in 2020, Diaz explained how parenting changes every day.

"Every single day, there are leaps and bounds, and these things that happen - she’s not the same baby she was yesterday," she said.

"It’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it and to help let her be her, and it’s just amazing."

Two years later, she told People that it's also given her a fresh perspective on ageing.

"The whole concept of ageing has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years," she said.

"It's totally opened up. I'm excited. I've got 50 or 60 years to go - I want to live to be 110, since I've got a young child."
