Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden announce birth of third child with unique name

Cameron Diaz, 53, and Benji Madden, 47, have announced the birth of their third child, revealing the little boy's unique name and the meaning behind it.

The A-list couple took to Instagram to announce the birth of their baby boy, as fans rushed to the comments with well-wishes.

"Cameron and I are happy, excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third child, Nautas Madden," singer Madden wrote.

The star added: "Welcome to the world Son!! We love life with our family - our kids are healthy & happy, and we are grateful!!!"

"Having a blast," the star added, "Sending all our best wishes - the Madden Family."

Actress Diaz also commented a series of love heart emojis underneath the post.

Instead of sharing a snap of the baby, the couple, who also share daughter Raddix, born December 2019 and son Cardinal, born March 2024, posted a graphic with an explanation of the unique name.

The family revealed that the unique name, Nautas, means 'sailor, navigator, voyager, one who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown'.

Prior to his arrival, the couple did not announce that they were expecting a third child.

Reports have previously claimed that the couple welcomed their children through surrogacy, though neither Madden nor Diaz have publicly confirmed this.

One fan wrote in response to the news: "Congratulations beautiful family!!!!"

As another said: "Many blessings to you!!! May he always have lots of health and grow up to be a boy full of light and joy."

Diaz previously opened up about motherhood in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2022, where she spoke about the 'challenges' of raising a toddler.

"My job is to just help her find the words to her emotions, her experience, what she’s going through, be able to help her identify that and then move through it," the Charlie's Angels star said.

The baby news comes just months after Diaz recently made a return to the spotlight after taking almost a decade-long break from acting, for the dark comedy Outcome, starring alongside Keanu Reeves.

Diaz described the break as a way to 'reclaim' her life and to focus on her family, after being thrust into the spotlight in the 90s.
