It was the baby birth announcement that took us all by surprise.

Back in January, Cameron Diaz and her husband, musician Benji Madden, announced the birth of their baby daughter – with just a worded Instagram post to reveal they had become parents.

The couple made it clear from day one that they would not be sharing any pictures of their daughter, Raddix, on social media in an effort to protect the child’s privacy.

However, just because we can’t get a glimpse of baby Madden, it doesn’t mean Diaz isn’t keen to talk about life as a mum – and how it has turned her world upside down.

Recently, the new mum opened up to talk show host Jimmy Fallon, saying the past few months at home with her family have been wonderful.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Diaz described her having to quarantine with her little family as ‘heaven.’

“It’s been heaven, Jimmy,” the 47-year-old explained.

“People have always said to me, ‘Really enjoy the time when they are babies, as it ‘goes so fast.’ And literally, every single day, there’s leaps and bounds and these things that happen—she’s not the same baby she was yesterday.”

She continues:

“It’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it and to help let her be her, and it’s just amazing…It’s the best thing that ever happened to both Benj and I. We’re just so happy.”

As for any more details about little Raddix, her proud mum reveals that the little girl and her rocker dad “share a love of music.” And she also divulged that Raddix “enjoys her dad’s songs but the whole family also loves to rock out to Baby Shark.”
