Cameron Diaz's Dark-Haired Daughter Drew Attention during Rare Public Appearance at Sofia Richie's Wedding

• Cameron Diaz made a rare public appearance with her daughter, Raddix, during Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge's wedding.
• The actress, who is rumored to have had Raddix via surrogacy, keeps her daughter away from the media and public's eyes as she has a strong instinct to protect her privacy.
• As much as Diaz now describes motherhood as the most gratifying thing in her life, there was a time she couldn't picture herself being a mother.

Cameron Diaz and her husband, Benji Madden, have an adorable daughter, Raddix, born on December 30, 2019.

The trio made a rare public appearance on April 22, 2023, at Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge's wedding in France.

Diaz, her daughter, and her husband were spotted during the wedding preparation and on the wedding day. Before the wedding day, the trio was sighted in Antibes, French Riviera, on April 2, 2023.

"The Mask" star was dressed casually in baggy jeans, sneakers, and a soft white jumper. Her blonde locks were tied in a low burn, and she held her daughter closely in her arms. Mother and daughter looked relaxed and seemed to be brushing off the jet lag easily on the steps of Hotel du Cap-Eden -Roc.

The "Little Things" musician was also spotted on the hotel's balcony in a black hoodie with white graphics on the side, black trousers, and a matching black cap.

On the wedding day, mother, father, and daughter were seen as a unit looking gorgeous, but the parents were upstaged by their 3-year-old girl, who was absolutely stunning. Raddix was in a beautiful pink dress with a bow, and her dark fair hair flowed to her shoulders.

Her mother and father held her hands as they slowly descended a steep set of stairs at the Hotel du Cap-Eden -Roc. On the other hand, Madden looked all handsome in a classic suit fit for the exquisite wedding.

The "Gambit" actress also mesmerized guests with her perfect appearance. She donned an elegant black dress and had minimal accessories on to keep the focus on her outfit. Her blonde locks were set loose and descended to her upper back.

The family's photos were shared online and received positive comments, as one social media user said, "Cameron is the most attractive." However, as much as some people were delighted by how beautiful the trio looked, others were against the actress's outfit. One person said:

"Why are they wearing funeral clothes to a wedding? Also, Cameron Diaz never used to dress like that."

Other social media users were excited to see Diaz's daughter in public as the actress has kept her away from the scrutinizing eyes and protected her from the media's attention.

Diaz gave credit to Paltrow for pushing her to create her dream family.

Why Does Cameron Diaz Hide Her Daughter from The Public Eye?

The 50-year-old actress welcomed her only child secretly in 2019, but they made the public announcement that Raddix was part of their family in January 2020. The couple did not reveal if they had adopted their daughter or used a surrogate.

Diaz and Madden, 44, shared a statement with their fans, which proudly stated that their daughter was really cute but that they had a strong urge desire to prioritize her privacy:

"While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one's privacy. So, we won't be posting pictures or sharing any more details…."

The "Charlie's Angels" actress, who lives in Hollywood Hills with her husband and daughter, left her acting career after she became a mother to focus on raising Raddix. She has not yet been straightforward about whether she will return to the acting scene.

The actress said she waited to be a mother so that she could focus on other stuff, but now her attention was on her family:

"Being a wife and a mother, it's just the most, what's the world I'm looking for. Rewarding…It really has been the most fulfilling part of my life so far."

Diaz admitted that she felt privileged to be able to stop working and spend time with her daughter. She empathized with mothers who have to go to work and, at the same time, raise their children. She added that she was grateful for her privilege:

"I just feel so blessed that I get to be here now with my child and, you know, get to be the mother that I get to be."

The actress said she couldn't imagine having a young child and still being required to be at a movie set for 14 to 16 hours. "…I wouldn't have been the mom that I am now had I chosen to do that at any other time in my life," she admitted.

As much as Diaz now finds motherhood the most gratifying moment in her life, there was a time before she met Madden and got married when she wasn't sure at all about having children.

Cameron Diaz Did Not Always Want to Be a Mother

Before Diaz got married and had a daughter, she said in an interview that raising children needs so much work and that she did not have it in her to be responsible for lives other than her own. "I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to be a mother," she added.

The actress later told her friend Gwyneth Paltrow that fear was holding her back from having kids. She disclosed to Paltrow that she said she didn't want children because she was scared and afraid she wouldn't find a partner as luck hadn't been on her side.

Diaz gave credit to Paltrow for pushing her to create her dream family. She said Paltrow told her that if she did not do it, she would regret it and become sad for not taking the step. "And so, I credit you so much with the fact that you never let up on me," she told Paltrow.

After Diaz got married to Madden, a source revealed that she started trying for a baby at age 47. The source noted that the actress was using several options, including supplements, acupuncture, and IVF, to get pregnant.

The source added that the couple was also open to having their baby via adoption, surrogacy, or natural means. "…they aren't giving up. It's been a roller coaster of emotions, yet they still believe there will be a happy ending," the source revealed.

When the couple became parents, another insider said that it was like a magical whirlwind. The insider added that Madden had been taking good care of Diaz after baby Raddix arrived. Rumors circulated that Diaz had a child via a surrogate, but this has never been confirmed by the parents.

Diaz and Madden are enjoying parenthood and raising their daughter away from the public's eyes in Hollywood Hills. The actress revealed they love watching her grow as her personality changes each day.
