Cameron Diaz Welcomes Baby Boy Aged 51 With Unique Name

Renowned actress Cameron Diaz, at the age of 51, has recently embraced the joys of motherhood once again by welcoming a baby boy into her family. The choice of his unusual name has sparked diverse reactions among her fans.

For those who may recall, Diaz’s rise to fame began in the mid-90s. She dazzled audiences with her role as Tina Carlyle in the comedy classic “The Mask,” where she shared the screen with the beloved comedian, Jim Carrey. Her journey into the world of cinema followed a successful modeling career, leading her to become one of Hollywood’s iconic stars, participating in over 40 films throughout her illustrious career.

In 2014, Diaz decided to step away from the limelight, choosing to focus on building a life with her husband and their family. Now, as a mother and wife, she finds immense fulfillment, a transition that instigated conversations about her recent baby name choice.

In a candid interview with Yahoo Finance Presents back in 2021, Diaz opened up about this new phase of her life. Reflecting on her career shift, she noted that dedicating “100 percent” of herself to acting was no longer fitting. “It’s just a different time in my life now,” she shared, expressing satisfaction in her family’s “little nucleus.” She enthused that experiencing family life has been “the most fulfilling thing” she’s ever done.

However, for fans eager to see her back on screen, the wait won’t be too long. Diaz has been busy filming an action-comedy movie titled “Back in Action” for Netflix, co-starring Jamie Foxx, which premieres on November 15.

The return of Diaz to Hollywood has fueled numerous online discussions, but she has been quick to dispel any gossip regarding an unpleasant filming experience with Foxx. Rumors suggested that she might quit acting again after disagreements on set. However, she addressed these on Molly Sims’ podcast “Lipstick on the Rim”, refuting any negative claims about their project.

Diaz expressed her displeasure over the circulating rumors by saying, “I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set. You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew.” She affirmed his professionalism and the fun atmosphere on set.

Though she acknowledged some unexpected delays during filming due to Foxx’s health issues in 2023, she was mindful not to delve deeply into it, stating, “That’s something that is not my place to speak about.” Whether this new project will reload her acting career remains uncertain, as Diaz might still prefer life away from the Hollywood frenzy.

The actress’s personal life has also captured much attention. She began dating musician Benji Madden in 2014 after meeting him through mutual connections. Their connection quickly blossomed, leading to their marriage in 2015.

The couple previously celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Raddix Madden, back in 2020, and now, just four years later, they’ve become parents once again with the birth of their son.

This time, their son’s name, Cardinal Madden, has become a topic of debate. The unique name left some fans pondering, eliciting various opinions across social media.

One surprised individual commented, “Cameron Diaz + Benji Madden = CARDINAL Madden. I mean, name your kids whatever you want, but that’s terrible.” Another remarked, “What a silly name to give a child!” while others expressed curiosity over the Hollywood trends.

Despite the mixed reactions, there are those who appreciate the originality. Some fans praised the choice, with one admirer exclaiming, “Love Cardinal!! It’s a beautiful name!” and another chiming in with, “Different names are in, and I like it!”
