48-Year-Old Cameron Diaz Talks Becoming A Wife & Mother Later In Life + The Benefits
American actress, Cameron Diaz‘s life has changed dramatically in 2020! In January, the actress shocked fans when she announced that she’d welcomed her first child, Raddix.
In the latest episode of Naomi Campbell’s YouTube series No Filter with Naomi Campbell, the 48-year-old Charlie’s Angels star opened up about life as a parent out of the spotlight. She also got candid about becoming a wife and mother in her 40s and entering into a more private life.
