Cameron Diaz, who had long disappeared from the public eye to build a happy family, was recently spotted by paparazzi. The star was photographed during a walk with her one-year-old son, Cardinal, in Santa Barbara. In the pictures, the actress is seen holding the little boy in her arms. Until now, no photos of her young heir had appeared online.

The reason is that Diaz and her husband, Benji Madden, are among the celebrities who prefer to keep their private lives away from the spotlight. They rarely make public appearances or interact with the press.

That’s why many fans were surprised that the actress did not try to hide her son’s face from the photographers’ lenses.

For the casual outing, Diaz opted for a black-and-white outfit consisting of a white shirt and black trousers. Her relaxed look was complemented by a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.

As a reminder, besides their son, the couple is also raising their five-year-old daughter, Raddix.
