Inside Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden's Relationship as They Head for 10th Anniversary: From Instant Chemistry to Quickie Wedding — and Separate Bedrooms

In May 2014, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden began dating shortly after their meeting at an event.

Speaking about the moment she saw the rocker for the first time, the Vanilla Sky actress said they found each other when they "were in the same room" because of Joel Madden and Nicole Richie.

Diaz asked: "I was, like, 'How come I didn't see him before?'"

Nicole later set them up, and the duo struck up a romance immediately after.

Months after Diaz and Madden launched their relationship, they sparked engagement rumors after fans spotted the Gangs of New York star wearing a ring.

Multiple sources confirmed Diaz and Madden's engagement to different news outlets, stating that The Madden Brothers member popped the question before the holiday season.

One insider told Us Weekly: "Everyone thinks it's wild but are so happy for them. Benji always tends to fall in love easily, but this time it's for real, and he landed a great girl. They obviously both make each other incredibly happy, and there's nothing better than that."

Meanwhile, a source revealed to People: "Her mom is a fan of him as well and gave her blessing."

A few weeks after their engagement, Diaz and Madden exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at their Beverly Hills home.

The couple penned in a joint statement to People: "We couldn't be happier to begin our new journey together surrounded by our closest family and friends."

Around 100 people reportedly attended the nuptials.

Speaking on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Charlie's Angels actress revealed her union with Madden helped her grow further.

Diaz said: "Someone asked me, 'What's your favorite thing about being married?' and I said, 'I just learned so much about myself. I didn't know these things. I would have never known them if I didn't have my husband to help me."

She added: "And they said, 'What's the worst thing about being married?' It's like, 'Well I learned all these things about myself that I wish I didn't know. And I wouldn't have learned them if I didn't get married.' So it's a double-edged sword."

On December 30, 2019, Diaz and Madden welcomed their first child, Raddix Madden.

She said of her motherhood journey during an Instagram Live with Who What Wear CEO Katherine Power: "It's the best, best, best part of my life. I'm so, so grateful and so happy and it's the best thing ever and I'm so lucky to get to do it with Benji and we're just having the best time. It's so great. I'm just thrilled."

Diaz later appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon during which she declared their daughter "is the best thing that ever happened" to her and Madden.

To mark Diaz's first Mother's Day, the Paris, Not France star posted a lengthy Instagram update in which he expressed his gratitude to his wife for "making me a father, and taking such good care of us everyday".

Part of the caption read: "6 years together just get more meaningful and true love each day. What a blessing. For me, I think wise to remind ourselves everyday, when we have a rare special person like this in our life, not to be the foolish person who takes it for granted."

In her interview on Molly Sims and Emese Gormley's podcast Lipstick on the Rim, Diaz spoke about her relationship with Madden and normalizing "separate bedrooms".

She said: "To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I'm fine. And we have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations."

Months after celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary, Diaz and Madden announced the birth of their second son, Cardinal Madden.

They wrote on Instagram: "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 ☺️We are feeling so blessed and grateful 🍀Sending much love from our fam to yours 🙏❤️Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!"
