Cameron Diaz says marrying husband Benji Madden is ‘the best thing that’s ever happened’ to her 

Cameron Diaz said meeting husband Benji Madden is ‘the best thing that’s ever happened’ to her.

The extremely private former actress opened up about her life as she invited longtime makeup artist and close friend Gucci Westman into her home for the beauty pro’s YouTube series Makeup & Friends.

‘I love being married,’ the 47-year-old new mom smiled while relaxing at her chic residence.

‘The best thing that’s ever happened to me is finding my husband, and our partnership, and our friendship,’ she said about her love of six years.

Cameron and Benji met back in 2014 after being introduced by Nicole Richie, who is married to Madden’s twin brother Joel and were married just 10 months later.

They just welcomed their first child, a daughter named Raddix, earlier this year.

Continuing to talk about relationships, Diaz told her friend that food is definitely her ‘love language.’

‘Now that I’ve been home for six years, half of my house is my kitchen,’ she explained.

‘When I feed the people I love, the things that I want them to have is the experience of feeling like it hit their heart, that they can feel my love,’ the There’s Something About Mary actress continued emotionally. 

‘I wanna cry,’ she went on, clearly choked up.

Cameron recently called parenthood the ‘best thing ever’ while speaking to Who What Wear CEO Katherine Power on Instagram Live.

‘I love being a mother. It’s the best, best, best part of my life,’ she said. ‘I’m so grateful and so happy and it’s the best thing ever and I’m so lucky to do it with Benj and we’re having the best time. I’m thrilled. I can’t believe it.’

Cameron praised the Good Charlotte rocker for being an ‘amazing father’ and admitted she feels ‘lucky’ because he’s such a hands-on dad, so she gets time to wind down herself at the end of the day while he looks after their daughter.

‘I’m either cooking, cleaning or taking care of my baby — and usually all at the same time.

‘I have to cook at night. I know people hate cooking… I drink [wine] every night it’s my wind down for the day.

‘After we do bath time with our baby and we put her to sleep, Benji puts her to bed, he’s so good. He’s such an amazing father. I’m so lucky he’s my baby’s father. 

‘He’s incredible. He puts her down and I go into the kitchen and I pour myself a nice glass of red wine. I start my cooking, I put on my show, whatever it is.’

The Bad Teacher star admitted measures put in place to slow the spread of coronavirus haven’t had a major impact on her because she’s been ‘living a quarantine life’ since her daughter was born.

She said: ‘I’ve kinda been living a quarantine life anyhow because I have a three month old, three-and-a-half month. So my life has been completely quiet and still for the last few months.

‘But I was able to have my friends over all the time. And now I just don’t see anybody.

‘But it’s nice, and I love a bubble and being in the womb of my home with my husband and cooking.

‘But at the same time it’s crazy that you can’t go out to the world right now.’
