Similarly, one admirer gushed, "How stinking cute are you. All domesticated! Happy birthday, mama!" before another proclaimed, "Happy Birthday, beauty!!!! I love you, CDM!!! 😍😍😍😍.” An eighth devotee then raved, "Happy G day Cameron!!!!"
Benji and Diaz have been an item since 2014 when they started dating after meeting at an event attended by his twin brother, Joel, and his wife, Nicole Richie.
The "Being John Malkovich" actress recalled their first encounter during a 2021 interview on the "Anna Faris Is Unqualified" podcast. "I met them first, and then they didn't set us up," she said. "But we were in the same room because of them, and then we found each other," explained Diaz.
The lovebirds eventually got engaged the same year, confirming the news in December 2014 after months of speculation. The following month, they wedded in a simple ceremony — a giant backyard tent decorated with white flowers and candles in their Beverly Hills home.
