Cameron Diaz shared a loving kiss with her husband Benji Madden as they enjoyed a casual dinner in Montecito on Monday.
The Mask actress, 51, who recently enjoyed a rare family outing with her kids earlier this month, was spotted leaving a restaurant with the musician, 45, after enjoying a tasty meal.
The beauty kept it casual by wearing a simple black scoop-neck shirt and a dark green cardigan.
Her blonde locks were pulled back into a simple ponytail, leaving a few strands loose over her forehead.
Diaz, who will celebrate her 52nd birthday later this week on August 30, opted for minimal accessories and added a pair of small earrings to her look.
Cameron Diaz, 51, shared a loving kiss with her husband, Benji Madden, 45, while enjoying a casual dinner in Montecito on Monday.
Her husband, Benji, known as the lead guitarist of the band Good Charlotte, also wore a black short-sleeved shirt and a green cap on his head.
Madden added gold chain necklaces that rested on his shirt and also wore a striking gold watch on his left wrist.
The couple was spotted standing outside a restaurant next to a stroller and shared a sweet kiss.
Cameron held a colorful toy in one hand, as well as her smartphone in the other instead of carrying a heavy bag for the outing.
The Charlie’s Angels star and the musician tied the knot in 2015 during a romantic ceremony at their Beverly Hills home.
In late 2019, the couple welcomed their first child together via surrogacy: a four-year-old daughter named Raddix. Earlier this year, in March, the two announced that their second child, a boy named Cardinal, had also been born.
At the time, Cameron, who doesn’t post photos of his children for privacy reasons, took to Instagram to share the special news.
Along with a drawing she had written at the top: ‘A little bird whispered to me,’ she wrote to her followers: ‘We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden.’

“I think you have that amazing moment when you’re 40 where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her, to be there with her when she’s 40.”
