Cameron Diaz was once one of Hollywood’s most sought-after and beloved actresses, and her return to the limelight after a lengthy hiatus was met with great excitement. But there is perhaps no one more supportive of her reigniting her career than her husband, Benji Madden.
The couple have been married since 2015 and share two children, and although ten years is an impressive achievement, they have mostly chosen to keep their romance out of the public. For this reason, Madden’s appreciation post of Diaz on Instagram immediately started trending, giving us a rare glimpse into their relationship.
Fans React To Benji Madden’s Post Celebrating Wife Cameron Diaz And Their Imperfect Marriage
In the post, the Good Charlotte musician praised his wife for being his “Queen” and noted the many roles she fills and does well. “Wife, Mommy, friend, partner, Boss, and lover,” he gushed in the caption.
He continued, “We just hit 10 YEARS married on January 5th and every year only gets more fulfilling. It’s special. Never perfect- always real- always reliable. Every day getting to have my best friend with me ride or die….what a beautiful life- I am GRATEFUL!!!” He ended the post by highlighting her return to the entertainment industry and how Back in Action will be available on Netflix.
There is a lot about this post we love, and fans have praised Madden and Diaz for making their relationship work. Reactions include, “I love everything about this,” “You two are awesome!!” and “Congratulations on your Anniversary Benji and Cameron for being a Wonderful Couple.” In addition to the congratulatory statements, there have also been a few comments from fans who have shared their utter shock and disbelief, not that Madden and Diaz are celebrating their tenth anniversary, but because they didn’t even know they were a couple. “How did I never know Cameron Diaz married and emo king?!” a comment reads. This is not all that surprising because they value their privacy.
The bit that stands out for us with Madden’s statement is how honest he is about his relationship, noting how it is imperfect. But what do we know about the couple? They have chosen to protect their marriage by not giving the media a front-row seat, but in December 2024, Diaz spoke frankly with her brother-in-law Joel Madden for an episode of his Artist Friendly podcast. During their chat, she addressed how marriage is a serious commitment and takes effort to make it work.
“Therapy is a big thing in our family,” she said. “It’s what we depend on.” Some people may take this as a sign of trouble in their romance, but we prefer to view it another way: it creates realistic goals for couples and does not give us the illusion that relationships are perfect and take zero effort to work. So, congratulations to Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz, and may they enjoy another ten beautiful, imperfect years of marriage.
