“It’s been heaven. Literally every single day, it’s just leaps and bounds … and she’s not the same baby she was yesterday.”
However, Cameron has also been honest about the difficulties of motherhood – and discussed the topic regarding The Kelly Clarkson Show back in 2022.

She told Clarkson that being a mum is ‘the best thing I’ve ever done in my life’, but revealed she has a ‘checklist’ for when times get a little ‘challenging’.
‘Did she eat? Is she tired? What time is it? When did she last eat? When did she sleep? You kind of start there and you’re like, ‘What just happened? Is there something she’s trying to communicate to me?'” Diaz explained.
‘And I feel like as a parent, my job is just to help her find the words for her feelings, her experience, what she’s going through and be able to help her identify that and move through it.’
The star added: ‘But you know what’s also really imperative to fix. Like if you blow up, just to fix it and say, “Oh my God, Mom lost weight,” and “I didn’t mean to tell you that.”
‘If I hurt your feelings or if I make you sad, I just want you to know that mom is human too.’
Cameron initially retired from acting after her role in the 2014 film Annie, but has since returned to star in Netflix’s Back In Action alongside Jamie Foxx.
