Cameron Diaz, 51, shares a sweet kiss with husband Benji Madden, 45, on lowkey dinner date in Montecito

Cameron Diaz shared a loving kiss with her husband Benji Madden while grabbing a lowkey dinner in Montecito on Monday. 

The Mask actress, 51 – who recently enjoyed a rare family outing with their children earlier this month – was spotted leaving a restaurant with the musician, 45, after indulging in a tasty meal. 

The beauty kept it casual wearing a plain, black shirt with a scooped neckline, as well as a dark green cardigan. 

Her blonde locks were pulled back into a simple ponytail, allowing a few loose strands to fall onto her forehead. 

Diaz – who will celebrate her 52nd birthday later this week on August 30 – opted for minimal accessories, and added a pair of small earrings to the look.

Her husband, Benji – who is known as the lead guitarist for the band Good Charlotte – also dressed down in a short-sleeved, black shirt while a green cap was placed on top of his head. 

Madden added gold-chained necklaces that rested over his shirt and also wore a flashy, gold watch on his left wrist. 

The couple were seen standing outside of an eatery next to a stroller and shared a sweet kiss. 

Cameron held a colorful toy in her hand, as well as her smartphone in the other instead of carrying a heavy purse for the outing. 

The Charlie’s Angels star and the musician tied the knot in 2015 during a romantic ceremony at her home in Beverly Hills. 

In late 2019, the pair welcomed their first child together via surrogate: a daughter named Raddix, four. Earlier this year in March, the two announced that their second child – a son named Cardinal – had also been born. 

At the time, Cameron – who doesn’t post photos of her children for their privacy – jumped to Instagram to share the special news. 

Alongside a drawing that had, ‘A little bird whispered to me,’ written towards the top, she wrote to her followers, ‘We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden.’

‘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.’ 

In conclusion, the mother-of-two added, ‘Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!’ 

A source told People in March shortly after the announcement that Diaz feels ‘beyond lucky’ to have welcomed their second child. 

‘They were always hoping for a second baby, because they love being parents,’ the insider told the outlet. 

‘For years, Cameron wanted to be a mom. She gets very emotional when she talks about the long journey to motherhood. She feels beyond lucky to now have two children.’ 

Earlier this month, the actress stepped out for a rare family outing with Benji as well as their two children while enjoying a relaxing stroll together in Montecito. 

She was effortlessly chic in a comfy, black shirt as well as black trousers and open-toed, white sandals.

The star held a smile on her face as she pushed a stroller alongside a busy walkway with Madden and their daughter next to her. 

Her hair was parted to the side, and easily swept up into an up do, revealing a pair of gold earrings. For a finishing touch, the actress added a bold, red tint to her lips. 

During an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop in 2021, Cameron also opened up about raising a family after welcoming her first child in her 40s. 

‘The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years. It’s totally opened up. I’m excited.’

‘I’ve got 50 or 60 years to go – I want to live to be 110, since I’ve got a young child,’ she further explained. 

‘I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her – be there with her in her 40s.’

Along with spending time with her loved ones, Diaz has a few projects under her belt, including the upcoming sequel: Shrek 5.

She is reprising her role of Princess Fiona in the animated franchise, with Mike Myers (Shrek) and Eddie Murphy (Donkey) also returning, Deadline reported last month in July.
