Late motherhood has some exciting benefits, and Cameron Diaz is a prime example of that. Her story may change the minds of women who doubted that they could get pregnant after 40.
In December 2019, Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden became parents for the first time in their lives. This news went around the internet and became a popular topic of conversation about late motherhood. Diaz thus gave new hope to women who had given up trying to get pregnant.
Although the actress tries to keep her life private, her inner circle said that the couple tried to conceive for several years before finally having a daughter named Raddix. "They've been through so much to get to this point," the source said.

Diaz said that she had given more than half of her life to the public and that this was the right moment "to take time to reorganize and choose how I want to come (back) into the world." Happy, blessed and grateful, she started the new decade with a child. And one of her main goals was and still is to protect her child.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Diaz admitted that spending time with her daughter is the true form of heaven. And we believe her, because she looks fresh and calm. He tries to enjoy every moment as it is "every day there are ups, downs and different things happen - she is not the same child as she was yesterday."
She went on to explain that such things had never happened to her or to Benji before: "It's so gratifying to actually see that growth and be a part of it and help her be herself, and it's amazing."

Among other things, Diaz also boasted that her phone is no longer full of photos of her dogs and their poop. Now the couple has “Baby Shark” and “Elmo's Song” in rotation all the time. Now she is a proud mother who enjoys seeing her daughter look at her father with unconditional love.
In an interview with Naomi Campbell, Diaz said how she likes to find balance in life. Accepting that many people become parents in a different way, she says: "They get married at a young age (and) have a family. That's what I kind of do in the second half of my life." And she just loves that her life is finally private. But still, there is some pressure, even in late motherhood. Diaz says so ironically: “I have to live until I'm about 107 years old. No pressure, then!”
Nevertheless, Diaz is absolutely sure that this is the most beautiful and happiest time in her life. Even her previous experiences cannot be compared to this new phase. "Having a family at a young age is like anything else at a young age, you just do it. When you're my age and you decide to do it, it's a choice. You really have to work for it."
During the interview, Campbell noticed that today Diaz is even more beautiful and happier than before, and we can say that the balance has finally been achieved.
What do you think are the main advantages of late motherhood? What age is best for a baby?
