Cameron Diaz’s Husband Benji Madden's ‘Grim’ Tattoo Has Such a Family-Oriented Meaning Behind It
Cameron Diaz’s husband Benji Madden just got the coolest macabre tattoo, but it actually has the sweetest meaning behind it.
In case you missed it, on Nov 6, Madden shared his new tattoo: one that surprisingly has a very family-oriented meaning.
“Big thank you to one of my nearest and dearest @scottcampbell for blessing me with this piece of art ❤️ Scott has been a source of wisdom and support for me in my favorite chapter of life so far. I remember having a conversation with him just before I became a Dad. I was nervous and excited. My biggest dream in life has always been to have a close, peaceful loving family. I asked Scott what’s the secret…..as one of the greatest Dad’s I’ve ever seen do it…. he gave me some simple advice…..just show up. love them with your whole heart. Be yourself,” he said. “Scott, you’re true blue and one of one. I love you man! ❤️ sometimes imagery that can be interpreted as dark or grim, can also represent salvation and gratitude. I’m grateful to have my beautiful family, and great friends tonight ❤️????”
He added, “If you feel like it, check out our episode of Scott’s show @stupidthingsforlove on @veeps you might enjoy it ???? @artist.friendly”
In the photo, we see Madden’s new tattoo: a hooded skull with designs on it, holding a scythe and putting a skeletal finger over its mouth. It does look rather grim (and large), but Madden revealed that it’s all about “salvation and gratitude.”
Now, Madden has quite a few tattoos in honor of wife Diaz and their kids. For instance, he has “Cameron” tattooed above his sternum for Diaz, as well as an alleged tattoo reading “Raddix,” for his first born. We’re sure there are plenty more, but he has so many tattoos that we’ve honestly lost track.
After meeting in 2014, Madden and Diaz married on Jan 5, 2015. Since then, they have welcomed two children: a daughter named Raddix, born in Dec 2019, and a son named Cardinal, born in March 2024.
In case you missed it, on March 22, Madden and Diaz revealed that they welcomed a son, Cardinal, into their now family of four. They shared the news on Instagram, saying, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden❤️????He is awesome and We are all so happy he is here! For the kids safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures- but he’s a really cute ☺️We are feeling so blessed and grateful ????Sending much love from our fam to yours ????❤️Best wishes and Good Afternoon!! ????⚡️”
In a rare interview with People, Diaz talked about how she views aging differently now that she’s a mom.
“The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years,” she said. “It’s totally opened up. I’m excited. I’ve got 50 or 60 years to go—I want to live to be 110, since I’ve got a young child.”
