The couple first met in 2014 through Nicole Richie, who is married to Madden’s twin brother, Joel. Their whirlwind romance led to an intimate wedding at Diaz’s Los Angeles home in January 2015. Over the years, they’ve built a strong foundation rooted in love, mutual respect, and a shared focus on family.
Diaz, a celebrated actress known for hits like The Holiday and Charlie’s Angels, has often spoken about how Madden transformed her perspective on relationships. On a 2022 episode of Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast, Diaz revealed how her husband taught her to value herself and their relationship above all else.
“Nothing else comes before this. It’s not hard to do, because it’s the most valuable thing I have,” she said. "We know that, no matter what, we can just go and be a family anywhere, and we’re fine. We don’t need any of the things that we have, other than each other."
Diaz also shared her admiration for Madden’s integrity and humor, calling him a "mensch" and praising him as the best dad ever. The couple shares two children: daughter Raddix, 5, and son Cardinal, 10 months.
Madden’s Instagram tribute didn’t just highlight their love story but also celebrated Diaz’s return to acting with her Netflix film, Back in Action. In the movie, Diaz stars alongside Jamie Foxx as married CIA operatives whose secret identities are exposed. The project marks Diaz’s return to the screen after an eight-year hiatus during which she focused on family life.
The heartfelt post included a photo of Diaz in a dazzling silver dress, smiling radiantly with a bold red lip—a perfect reflection of the joy and confidence Madden’s words exude.
The couple’s journey over the past decade offers a reminder of what a solid partnership looks like: a mix of mutual respect, prioritizing family, and celebrating each other’s individuality. Madden’s tribute encapsulates their unwavering commitment to navigating life’s ups and downs together.
In his own words, their relationship may not always be “perfect,” but it’s “always real” and filled with gratitude. For Diaz and Madden, 10 years of marriage is more than a milestone—it’s a testament to the power of love, trust, and partnership.
Here’s to many more years of happiness for this Hollywood power couple!
