Motherhood gave Cameron Diaz a new purpose, and she couldn't be more grateful.
2025 marks the There's Something About Mary actress' return to acting, after ten years of retirement, during which she focused on her marriage to Benji Madden, and being a mom to their two kids together.
Speaking about her ten-year hiatus in a behind-the-scenes clip for her comeback 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 two kids.
