Did Cameron Diaz Use a Surrogate for Her Third Child?

Has Cameron Diaz Ever Used a Surrogate Before?
According to reports cited by Women’s Health, Cameron and Benji reportedly used a surrogate for their first child, Raddix, after trying for years to conceive, including IVF and other fertility methods. However, the couple has not publicly confirmed those details.
A source previously told Us Weekly that the process had been challenging, saying, “It just hasn’t worked out yet. … They don’t know exactly what it will look like, whether it will be natural or through adoption or surrogacy, but they aren’t giving up.”
Cameron has also spoken about how her perspective on motherhood evolved over time. In a 2012 interview with Redbook, she said, “I thought I was going to be married and have two children by the time I was 21. I think I felt I had to model my life after my mother’s. But then my career was starting to take off and there were still so many things I wanted to do. So that dream [of motherhood] for me was shattered early on. After that, I never put another timeline on anything in my life.”
