Diaz and Madden are also parents to daughter Raddix Wildflower and son Cardinal. The couple has kept their children out of the public eye, choosing not to post photos or speak about them in interviews.
The birth of Cardinal in 2024 was described as a significant moment for the couple. “They were always hoping for a second baby because they love being parents,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “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.”
Although Diaz keeps her family life largely private, she has spoken about motherhood and her decision to have children later in life. During a March 2022 appearance on BBC Radio 2, she acknowledged the age gap between herself and many new mothers. “The women who have children my age are like, literally 20 years younger and that’s an interesting place to be because I’m not that age,” Diaz said. “And that’s totally OK. But I want to feel vital like that for my child.”

In an October 2020 interview with Naomi Campbell, she addressed the commitment with characteristic humor: “When you’re my age and you decide to do it, it’s a real choice. You really have to work hard for it. The only pressure for me is like I have to live to be, like 107, you know? So no pressure.” Diaz and Madden married in January 2015, Diaz stepped back from acting to focus on family and business ventures.
