Cameron Diaz Shares How Husband Benji Madden Supported Her Amid Exit From Hollywood – E! Online

Cameron Diaz needed a little extra push to make her return to Hollywood.

And the person to do it? Her husband, Benji Madden. After stepping away from her acting career in 2014, Cameron is set to return to the big screen in 2025—and it’s all thanks to the Good Charlotte rocker. 

“We were in the house for a long time, which was amazing,” the 52-year-old star said during an Oct. 15 conversation at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit. “So, I had to push myself. My husband, he’s just the best. He was just like, ‘You’ve been supporting us and building the family.’ And supporting him in his businesses. He’s like, ‘It’s time for us to support you and let mommy ascend and do her do her thing.’”

In her time away from Hollywood, Cameron and Benji—who got married in 2015—went on to privately welcome two children through surrogate, a daughter, Raddix, 4, and son Cardinal,  6 months.
