Joel Madden and Benji Madden’s sons’ names nearly match. Nicole Richie and Joel, who share a 14-year-old son named Sparrow, recently shared their reaction to Cameron Diaz and Benji naming their baby boy Cardinal. Richie mentioned that she believes the similarity in names is just a coincidence, describing it as a 'twin thing.' Joel later confirmed that the name Cardinal came as a surprise to him, but expressed happiness for the new addition to the Madden family.
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden announced the birth of their son, Cardinal, via surrogate in March. The couple shared the news on Instagram, expressing their joy and excitement over his arrival. They also have a daughter named Raddix, who was born via surrogate in December 2019.
Richie and Joel Madden have an older daughter named Harlow, who is 16 years old. The family made a rare public appearance together at the premiere of Richie's movie 'Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead,' where Harlow and Sparrow looked all grown up in matching black outfits.
Richie explained in a previous interview that she prefers to keep her children out of the spotlight and off social media to allow them to have a normal childhood. She credited the support of their extended family, including Joel's brother and sister-in-law, in helping to raise their kids.
While Diaz and Benji have chosen not to share photos of their children online, Diaz has been open about her experiences as a mother. She has discussed the challenges of parenting, including moments when she loses her temper, but emphasizes the importance of being honest with her children about her emotions.
