Cameron Diaz and Husband Benji Madden's Casual NYC Stroll with Their Adorable Son Cardinal

It's been over a year since we've seen Cameron Diaz and her husband, Benji Madden, out in public together, but they finally made their return to the spotlight on Thursday with a casual daytime stroll through New York City. The 53-year-old actress looked absolutely exhausted, but still managed to turn heads with her effortless style.

Diaz was joined by her husband of 10 years and their youngest child, one-year-old Cardinal Madden, for a leisurely walk through the city. This marks their first public sighting together in over a year, and fans couldn't help but notice how happy they look as a family of three. The actress and her guitarist husband share five-year-old daughter Raddix together, making them proud parents to two beautiful children.

Diaz's fashion sense was on point as she rocked a double denim outfit that screamed casual chic. She paired a white V-neck T-shirt with a denim jacket, straight-leg jeans, and white sneakers – the perfect combination for a relaxed day out with her family. Her long, blonde hair was thrown up in a messy bun, adding to her effortless vibe, while her aviator-style glasses completed her look.

Meanwhile, Madden looked every bit the rockstar as he pushed their toddler's stroller through the city streets. He wore a black T-shirt paired with an oversize hoodie featuring a bleach-inspired design, and his signature black trucker cap added a touch of swagger to his outfit. A shiny gold chain around his neck only added to his dashing looks.

But it was their adorable son Cardinal who stole the show in his cream-colored sweater, blue pants, and matching sneakers – seemingly coordinating with mom's outfit perfectly! The little one looked every bit as happy as his parents, and fans couldn't get enough of the heartwarming family moment.

Just a little over a week ago, Diaz and Madden, a famously private couple who celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary in January, made their first public sighting in a year

Just a week ago, Diaz and Madden celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary in style, but they've been keeping their lives under wraps for quite some time now. In fact, it's been over a year since we've seen them out in public together – that is, until their last sighting back in August 2024 in Montecito, California.

But what we didn't know was that the couple had welcomed another addition to their family just months prior. Last March, they shared the news of Cardinal's birth on Instagram with a joint post, and fans were overjoyed for the happy couple.

"We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden," Benji wrote in his post, accompanied by a heartwarming photo of their little family. "He is awesome and We are all so happy he is here! For the kids' safety and privacy, we won't be posting any pictures – but he's a really cute."

The couple has been notoriously private about their personal lives, rarely sharing photos or updates with fans. But it seems they're making an effort to share more moments with us now – at least, until Cameron returns to acting.

Speaking of which, Diaz is set to make her return to the big screen in Shrek 5, scheduled for release on June 30, 2027. The movie has been pushed back six months from its original December 2026 opening date, giving it a clear run without competition from other major releases like Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part III.

It's interesting to note that Universal has also shifted an untitled Illumination picture from the old date to April 16, 2027 – maybe they're trying to create some buzz around Cameron's return to acting?

This comes amid news of Diaz's return to acting after giving birth to their young children. Her next project is Shrek 5, which has been delayed until summer 2027; pictured June 2016 in Los Angeles

But in all seriousness, Diaz's fans are thrilled to see her making a comeback after a brief hiatus. And with Benji and their adorable children by her side, it's clear that she's got her priorities straight.

So what do you think, folks? Are you excited for Shrek 5 and Cameron's return to acting? Let us know in the comments!
