One person even commented, “Please look at what their child has on. Christmas PJs. Ok with me, but all you mamas who think you need a new outfit every time your child walks out the door may want to save some money.” Not all the comments focused on the outfits, though. Diaz’s age also stirred up a conversation. “A baby at 51?!” one person questioned.

But a fan was quick to jump to her defense, explaining, “It’s no big deal for millionaires to have a baby at 51—they have surrogates and several nannies to help once it’s born.” With kind words, they wrapped it up, saying, “Good luck to her, everyone deserves a chance at happiness.”

Diaz and Madden, who have been married since 2015, added a sweet surprise to their love story when they secretly welcomed their second child in March. The couple, known for keeping their personal lives under wraps, delighted fans with the news of their new addition.

While the couple didn’t share any pictures to protect the identity of their newborn son, netizens focused on another aspect of the situation. Surrogacy, and Diaz’s age, became the main topics of discussion.

Social media users were baffled as to why Diaz would want to add a newborn to the family at her age. “Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 years old?” An Instagram user wrote, seconded by others who “can’t imagine raising a baby at 51,” and “could never have a baby at that age.”

Dear lord, ya’ll act like she’s 51, wheelchair-bound and in a nursing home. She’s a very active woman and clearly is able to raise her child (sic),” a netizen fired back.

The actress indeed went through a time when she thought she would never marry or have children. “This was just fear. Yeah, I was just scared. I was afraid I wouldn’t, you know, find a partner. I had no luck,” Diaz told Gwyneth Paltrow during an interview.

But then she found a partner in Madden, and the pair rang in the new decade in 2020 with their first child, daughter, Raddix.

However, Diaz doesn’t see becoming a mother later in life as a hindrance. Having grown as a person, Diaz explained that she can now go “into the consciousness of parenting” from a place of non-judgment having expanded as a person.

“I think it’s part of being an older mother, you know. I mean like being a mother at the age that I am, I don’t think I could have been this parent at 25,” she said.

Thoroughly enjoying motherhood, Diaz sees her influence over their development as a highlight. “All mothers have this moment where you are watching your child, and they are doing something for the first time, and you like, ‘I remember doing that,’” Diaz mused.

Now a mother of a girl and a boy, Diaz’s experience of motherhood is about to expand, and the couple couldn’t be happier after the arrival of the latest edition to their now family of four.

The couple shared their elation, stating, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden❤️.”

The announcement was accompanied by an artistic image that speaks volumes. The snapshot’s phrase “A little bird whispered to me” seems to be a creative nod to their son’s unique name, ‘Cardinal,’ which refers to a vibrant red North American bird.
