Cameron Diaz, 51, is well-known for being a shining talent in Hollywood.

More than just a star and 'It' girl in Tinseltown, Diaz is also a devoted and loving mother to her three-year-old daughter, Raddix, whom she shares with her doting spouse and musician, Benji Madden. The couple have been married since 2015.

According to a news outlet, the duo met at one of Diaz's barbeques. Madden had attended the event with his brother, Joel, and friend, Nicole Richie. Since their relationship started, Diaz and Madden have been going strong, and of her husband, she gushed:
"He's just my partner in life, in everything. I've never had anyone who supported me so much and gave me so much courage to be myself..."

In 2019, the lovebirds became first-time parents when they welcomed Raddix on December 30. As parents who prefer to remain private where matters to do with their child are concerned, when Diaz and Madden announced Raddix's birth, they did not post a photo of her and explained that they did so to protect and prioritize their baby's privacy.

Last year, while sitting down for an interview to discuss her previous break from acting, business ventures, and family life, the concept of motherhood came up. After being asked if motherhood changed her, the interviewer asked what "The Holiday" star enjoys most about being a mom, to which Diaz answered:
"I think just being able to, you know, have influence on a child that's developing, you know? All mothers have that moment where you're watching your child, and they're doing something the first time, and you're like, 'I remember doing that!' It's really cool!"

Motherhood appears to be a dream come true for Diaz. Far from following the narrative of being the exhausted first-time mother, the movie star confirmed that motherhood is the best experience she has embarked on.

Cameron Diaz's Daughter Sparks Reactions among the Public during a Family Outing
Recently, the doting mama bear, who called motherhood the best experience she has encountered, was seen with her beau and their little girl in a rare family outing. The family enjoyed some time in Montecito and opted for casual wear.
Madden was seen rocking a black hoodie, baseball cap, and loosely fitted pants, while his wife opted for a slightly more chic-causal style with a black button-down shirt, black pants, glasses, green Birkenstocks, and a bag to the value of $1,490. Little Raddix wore a one-piece white outfit and Spiderman sneakers.
Pictures from the day show moments where Diaz held onto her daughter, who was wrangling in her arms after having just kicked off one of her shoes. Reports also stated that Raddix appeared to be full of energy and was seen running around at one point.
When people saw the family on their outing, they had a lot to say, specifically about Raddix's behavior. In fact, the outing sparked a division among the public, with some being able to relate to the parents' plight of having an energetic child and others not being so forgiving.
Despite the barrage of comments implying something was amiss with the situation, others came to Diaz's defense as a mother. One fan stated:
"ALL PERFECTLY NORMAL & RELATABLE. Why do we always have to turn things into a negative?"
