Cameron Diaz Welcomes Third Child and Returns to Public Life

Actress Cameron Diaz and musician Benji Madden have expanded their family with the arrival of their third child, a son named Nautas. Madden announced the birth on May 4, while Diaz has continued rebuilding her acting career after an extended break from filmmaking.

The couple, who married in 2015, also have a daughter, Raddix, born in December 2019, and a son, Cardinal, whose arrival they announced in March 2024. According to the family's public announcements, the parents have not shared photographs of their children publicly.

Following Nautas' birth, Madden shared a message expressing the couple's gratitude for their family's well-being.

"We love life with our family- our kids are healthy&happy, and we are grateful!!!" Madden said.

Diaz's growing family has coincided with her return to screen work. She reunited with Jamie Foxx for Netflix's Back in Action, released in January 2025, and appeared in Jonah Hill's dark comedy Outcome, which premiered on Apple TV in April 2026.

In Outcome, Diaz plays Kyle, a longtime friend of Keanu Reeves' character. Matt Bomer also appears in the production.

Her personal views on aging and cosmetic procedures have also attracted renewed attention after a 2014 interview with Entertainment Tonight resurfaced online. While promoting her book The Body Book, Diaz discussed having tried Botox and explained why she decided against continuing with the treatment.

"I've tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something," Diaz said.

She explained that even a small amount of the treatment had affected how she perceived her appearance, prompting her to reconsider whether it suited her.

"No, I don't want to [be] like [that] … I'd rather see my face aging than a face that doesn't belong to me at all."

Diaz also described the lines around her eyes as reminders of a life filled with smiling rather than imperfections that needed correction.

"I love life. I'm happy I don't have a problem with that," she said.

During a 2016 appearance on the OWN Show while discussing The Longevity Book, Diaz clarified that her personal preferences did not amount to criticism of people who chose cosmetic treatments.

"I have absolutely no judgment on what makes people feel good about themselves," Diaz said.

She acknowledged that cosmetic procedures could help some people feel more confident about their appearance.

"Really, that is what those procedures are for. They're to help people feel a little bit better about themselves. If they do feel better about themselves, then those procedures have worked. I don't have any problem with that."

Diaz also discussed the biological processes involved in aging, arguing that cosmetic injections do not stop the body from growing older.

"Aging is a cellular event. Every bit of aging happens in our cells. The places that the Botox doesn't reach, you're still aging," she explained.

She emphasized nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and meaningful relationships as important aspects of well-being while maintaining that individuals should decide for themselves whether cosmetic treatments suit their needs.

"Along with the Botox, if that makes you happy."

In The Body Book, Diaz also recounted her experience with adult acne and the emotional difficulties she faced while trying to manage the condition. She described repeated attempts to find an effective treatment.

"It was embarrassing, and I did everything I could think of to make it go away," she wrote.

Diaz said she tried several approaches, including makeup and prescription medication, but struggled to achieve lasting results.

"I tried to cover it with makeup. I tried to get rid of it with medication: oral, topical, even the harshest prescriptions. Nothing helped for very long."

The condition was particularly difficult when she needed to appear in front of cameras, she added.

"It was really challenging to cover them up for the cameras. It was awkward and embarrassing and frustrating, and I always felt really bad about myself," she added.

Diaz also acknowledged that her earlier eating habits had not always supported her health, recalling a typical fast-food meal from that period.

"two bean burritos with extra cheese, extra sauce, no onions and a large Coke."

During a 2022 appearance on Michelle Visage's Rule Breakers podcast, Diaz addressed societal expectations surrounding women's appearance and acknowledged that she had experienced those pressures herself.

"I am absolutely a victim of all of the societal objectifications, you know, that women, and exploitations that women are subjected to. I have bought into all of them myself, you know, at certain times," she said.

She also described her skincare routine during the podcast, characterizing it as minimal.

"I literally do nothing. I like never wash my face."

Meanwhile, Diaz attended Matthew Lowe's wedding in California, where she appeared alongside several prominent entertainment figures. According to Hello! Magazine, she wore a black minidress and styled her long hair with a deep side part, an ash-brown shade, and lighter highlights around her face and ends.

Matthew Lowe, 33, is the eldest son of actor Rob Lowe and Sheryl Berkoff. He became engaged to Emily in July 2025, and Gwyneth Paltrow officiated their wedding. Zoe Saldaña, Katy Perry, Chris Pratt, Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo, Maria Shriver, and Matthew's younger brother, John Owen Lowe, also attended.

The wedding appearance prompted renewed online discussion of Diaz's looks, with social media users offering different assessments of her appearance and possible cosmetic treatments.

"Ironically, her face hasn’t aged," one commenter wrote.

Another social media user compared Diaz's appearance with that of other celebrities who had undergone cosmetic procedures.

"She looks normal and significantly better than her peers who succumbed to plastic surgery and now look like lizards."

A separate commenter focused on her facial movements when smiling.

"And she can smile without weird inflection points showing where the Botox shots were."
