Have Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden been planning for their second child?
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden were married in 2015 and surprised their fans with their first baby news five years later, when they announced that they had given birth to a baby girl named Raddix via surrogacy.
"We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden," they wrote in an Instagram post at the time. "She immediately captured our hearts and completed our family."
An insider told Us Weekly in July 2022 that the two had been planning for baby number two for a long time,
"Cameron and Benji have discussed having another child and have even been looking into surrogate options for a while now," they said.
"They would love a boy, of course, but just want a healthy baby," the source added.
The path to having her own family was not easy for the actor. In an interview with Kelly Clarkson, Diaz said: "I had to fight hard to become a mother. I wasn't lucky enough for it to just happen."
Luck seems to have been on her side a second time.
