Diaz, for her part, left a series of red heart emojis in the comments section of the post.
The Instagram post included more details about the little one’s name, which is derived from the Latin word “nauta.” The name means “sailor, navigator, voyager, one who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.”
Diaz and Madden wed in January 2015. They welcomed their first child, daughter Raddix, via surrogate in 2019. Son Cardinal joined the family in 2024.

The actress — who returned to Hollywood in 2025’s Back in Action after a decade away from the business — has previously been open about welcoming children in the “second half” of her life.
"A lot of people do it the other way around,” she told Naomi Campbell in 2020. “They get married [and] have a family in their youth. Having a family when you're young ... it's like anything when you're young: You do it. But when you're my age and you decide to do it, it's a real choice. You really have to work hard for it."

She teased that she would have to “live to be, like, 107” after Raddix was born when the Charlie’s Angels star was 47.
More recently, Diaz spoke about how her career mindset changed post-kids.
"You're a different person after you have children, after marriage, after building a life. Everything changes, your whole perspective, your whole world, your understanding of it,” she said on E! News in 2025. “For me, I never made a movie before with a family. So, all of the boxes change that need to be checked off. That's the most important, and then everything else has to line up to support that."
She added, "As an actor, it's completely different having taken 10 years and lived a life that I wasn't living when I was an actor. There's a lot more happening in my world that allows me a different perspective on life, period."
