On May 4, Cameron Diaz announced the birth of her third child, Nautus Madden. The star is no stranger to motherhood as she also shares daughter Raddix and son Cardinal with her husband Benji Madden.
Last year, Cameron returned to acting after a ten-year retirement stint, during which she focused on her marriage to Benji, and being a mom to their kids. Speaking about her hiatus in a behind-the-scenes clip for her movie, Back in Action, she shared that "if I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day-to-day," it was focusing on her wine company, Avaline.
"That was pretty much it," she said, adding: "I'm just trying to stay alive just like every other mother. I'm just trying to keep it going."
Below, catch up on all there is to know about Cameron's pride and joy, her three kids.

Following her 2015 nuptials to Benji, she and the Good Charlotte guitarist welcomed their first child together, daughter Raddix Chloe Wildflower Madden, on December 30, 2019.
"We are so happy, blessed and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden. She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family," the couple wrote on Instagram at the time.
Cameron and Benji welcomed Raddix via surrogacy, and did not publicly share they were expanding their family until her arrival, and have since been adamant about keeping their daughter out of the spotlight.
Still, he hasn't shied away from gushing about motherhood, and during an Instagram Live back in 2020, she shared: "It's the best, best, best part of my life. I'm so, so grateful and so happy and it's the best thing ever and I'm so lucky to get to do it with Benji and we're just having the best time."

Like with Raddix, Cameron and Benji welcomed their second child, son Cardinal, via surrogacy, and only shared news of their new member of the family once he was born.
In an Instagram post on March 22, 2024, they shared: "We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden."
The joint announcement continued: "He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here! For the kids' safety and privacy we won't be posting any pictures- but he's really cute. We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours."

Cameron calls herself an "older mom," and opened up about aging during an interview on the GOOP podcast. "The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years," she said.
The actress added: "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."
She continued: "I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her — be there with her in her 40s."

Cameron previously shared how supportive Benji is as a partner and parent. "I drink every night [as] my wind-down for the day…after we've done bath time with our baby and put her down to sleep," she said on Instagram Live.
"Benji puts her to bed. Like, he's so good. He's such an amazing father. I'm so lucky he's my baby's daddy. Like, he's so incredible."
