<p id=”par-1_50″>Cameron Diaz made 38 movies in 20 years, working at a frenzied pace for two decades. It’s understandable why she’d need a break from Hollywood, especially when she’s got two children at home. Now, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jamie-foxx-revealed-he-brought-cameron-diaz-retirement.html/”>Diaz is back with a new movie</a>, and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships/”>her husband</a> Benji Madden is prouder than ever.</p>

<p id=”par-2_85″>Diaz stepped away from acting to focus on her family and her wine label, Avaline. She and Madden, her husband of 10 years, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/cameron-diaz-explains-why-she-and-benji-madden-arent-sharing-any-photos-of-their-baby-daughter-raddix.html/”>have a daughter, Raddix</a>, born in December 2019, and a son, Cardinal, born in 2024. Famously private about their personal lives, the couple managed to keep the second pregnancy completely secret. They have been vocal about cherishing their family life and prioritizing privacy for their kids. This makes Madden’s social media post all the more exciting for fans of the Madden-Diaz family.</p>

<p id=”par-3_85″>The Good Charlotte guitarist took to <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DE6sJRLRQg9/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> to praise his wife. Madden shared two photos, one of Diaz posing demurely in a metallic dress and red lipstick at a formal event and the other a selfie of the pair looking tanned and happy in California. He captioned the carousel of images, “This is my QUEEN. I celebrate this BAD ASS WOMAN . Wife, Mommy, friend, partner, Boss, and lover. We just hit 10 YEARS married on January 5th and every year only gets more fulfilling.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_59″>In 2015, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sean-diddy-combs-bummed-cameron-diaz-started-dating-benji-madden-source-said.html/”>Diaz and Madden wed</a> in a private and intimate affair at their Beverly Hills, California, home. Reportedly officiated by Madden’s twin brother, Joel, the wedding guest list included Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore, and Nicole Richie. The musician and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/cameron-diaz-returning-acting-8-movies-streaming-now.html/”><em>Vanilla Sky</em> star</a> opted for a cozy and romantic atmosphere, adorning their home with candles and flowers.</p>

<p id=”par-5_64″>Benji elaborated on their 10-year marriage on Instagram. “Every day getting to have my best friend with me ride or die,” he wrote. “What a beautiful life- I am GRATEFUL!!! and ANOTHER MiLESTONE happening TOMORROW!!! We are SO happy to see you….BACK IN ACTION!!….Congrats baby!!” As the couple celebrates Diaz’s first role since 2014’s <em>Annie</em>, her action/comedy co-starring Jaime Foxx is receiving mixed reviews.</p>
<p id=”par-6_87″>One <a href=”https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/back_in_action_2025″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Rotten Tomatoes</a> critic writes, “It’s comfortingly, dependably predictable, even with a few clever twists and turns, and, frankly, that’s exactly what’s needed right now. Content collapsed. Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx’s winning chemistry isn’t enough to overcome this cliché-ridden action comedy.” Another review gave an alternative take: “This movie is good for family that’s why I rate it 5 stars. I love how they mix it — the comedy, action and thrill. What I love the most in this movie is how they protect their family”</p>

<p id=”par-7_90″>Regardless, Diaz has enjoyed her Hollywood comeback in large part thanks to Foxx. The <em>My Best Friend’s Wedding</em> star only took the time away from her family because she could work with the “most talented man in the entertainment business,” she told <a href=”https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/back-in-action/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Empire</a>. With an estimated <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/cameron-diaz-million-hit.html/”>net worth of $140 million</a>, Diaz can be picky about her parts. Between blockbuster roles like the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/cameron-diaz-makes-way-more-money-than-husband-benji-madden.html/”><em>Shrek</em> franchise</a>, praise for her wine brand, Avaline, and a happy home life, the 52-year-old can rest easy knowing Hollywood will be there when she desires it.</p>
