Cameron Diaz Flaunts Rare PDA With Husband Benji Madden During Montecito Dinner Outing

Hollywood a-list star Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden were recently spotted enjoying a low-key dinner in Montecito, where they showed off rare PDA.

The couple, who married in 2015, recently welcomed their second child, Cardinal, announcing his birth on Instagram.

Cameron Diaz previously claimed motherhood changed her "whole concept of aging."

On Monday evening, Diaz and Madden enjoyed a quiet dinner in Montecito. As they left the restaurant, they shared a tender kiss, a rare public display of affection.

For the evening, the 51-year-old actress, known for her role in "The Mask," kept her outfit relaxed with a simple black shirt and a dark green cardigan.

Her blonde hair was styled in a casual ponytail with a few strands gently framing her face. She completed her outfits with understated accessories, choosing just a pair of small earrings.

On the other hand, Madden, 45, opted for a laid-back look, donning a short-sleeved black shirt paired with a green cap. He added a touch of flair with gold necklaces and a striking gold watch on his left wrist.

Diaz and Madden have been married since 2015, and they celebrated their nuptials with a charming ceremony at her Beverly Hills home.

In late 2019, Diaz and Madden welcomed their first child, a daughter named Raddix, through a surrogate. Earlier in March of this year, they announced the arrival of their second child, a son named Cardinal.

The "Charlie's Angels" star, who prefers to keep her children's photos private, took to Instagram to share the joyful news.

Alongside a drawing with the phrase "A little bird whispered to me" at the top, she wrote, "We are blessed and excited to introduce our son, Cardinal Madden.

She continued, "He is awesome, and We are all so happy he is here! For the kids' safety and privacy, we won't be posting any pictures- but he's a really [sic] cute. We are feeling so blessed and grateful."

In conclusion, the mother-of-two added, "Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!"

Shortly after announcing the birth of their second child, a source told People Magazine that Diaz feels "beyond lucky" to have welcomed their new addition.

The insider shared: "They were always hoping for a second baby, because they love being parents."

"For years, Cameron wanted to be a mom. She gets very emotional when she talks about the long journey to motherhood. She feels beyond lucky to now have two children," the source added.

Earlier this month, the "Bad Teacher" actress enjoyed a rare family outing in Montecito with her musician husband and their two children. Diaz looked effortlessly stylish in a comfortable black shirt, matching trousers, and white open-toed sandals.

With a smile on her face, Diaz pushed a stroller along a bustling walkway, accompanied by Madden and their daughter. Her hair was styled in a simple updo, complemented by gold earrings and bold red lipstick.

In a 2021 interview on Gwyneth Paltrow's "Goop" podcast, Diaz shared her thoughts on raising a family in her 40s.

She noted how her perspective on aging has evolved, saying, "The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last ten years. It's totally opened up. I'm excited."

The actress continued, "I want to live to be 110, especially now that I have a young child," adding: "I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her - be there with her in her 40s."

After taking a break from Hollywood to focus on her family with Madden and start her Avaline wine company, Diaz is now making her return to the big screen.

The actress is set to star alongside Jamie Foxx in the action comedy film "Back In Action," which will premiere on Netflix on November 15 of this year.

According to reports, she will reprise her role as Princess Fiona in the upcoming animated movie "Shrek 5."

Apple Original Films also announced that Diaz, who hasn't made any movies since she portrayed Miss Hannigan in 2014's "Annie," is in final negotiations to co-star with Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill in the dark comedy "Outcome," which Hill is billed to direct.
