I was like, ‘How come I didn’t see him before?’”“I saw him walking towards me, and I was like, ‘Huh, he’s hot, I haven’t seen him before,’” she later added. “But then when I saw him, like who he was, that’s what made me really be like, ‘Oh you, you’re special, you’re the guy, you’re the hidden gem in my life.’”Benji makes sure to celebrate his wife every year with a loved up birthday messageThe pair have famous in-laws in the shape of the RichiesCredit: GettyWhirlwind marriage Just six months later Cameron sparked engagement rumours after being seen wearing a ring on her finger. They confirmed their relationship on social media that Christmas, and were married on January 5th, 2015 at their California home. Most read in CelebrityNicole was one of Cameron’s bridesmaids, and Joel was Benji’s best man. Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette were also in attendance. During her wedding speech, Cameron reportedly said: “I waited because I didn’t want to settle, and now I got the best man ever.

So we won’t be posting any pictures or sharing any more details, other than the fact that she is really really cute!! Some would even say RAD:)” The pair have kept to their word and they have never shared a picture of their daughter. Cameron later noted that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they were able to spend quality time as a new family as they quarantined. “[Benji] actually gets to come out of a meeting and give her a kiss and play with her for a little bit, where if he was going to the office every day, he wouldn’t have been able to do that,” she told Seth Meyers during an interview for Late Night. “So we’re just having a lot of gratitude for that.”The duo have kept their relationship away from the public eyeCredit: GettySecret to a Happy Marriage In December 2023, Cameron sparked an online debate about relationships by declaring separate bedrooms should be “normalised” to keep the romance alive. Speaking to Molly Sims and Emese Gormley on their Lipstick on the Rim podcast, Cameron stated: “We should normalize separate bedrooms. To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room. I’m fine. And we have the bedroom in the middle that we can convene in for our relations.”“By the way, I don’t feel that way now because my husband is so wonderful,” she added. “I said that before I got married.”Nice to Meet Two In March 2024, Cameron and Benji announced they had welcomed their second child together, a baby boy. Alongside a piece of artwork bearing the words ‘A little bird whispered to me’, the couple wrote: “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden. READ MORE SUN STORIES“He is awesome and We are all so happy he is here!

      But they put on a display of unity in Los Angeles at the US premiere of the American actress’s film Lola — her first as a director.
      The pair posed for pictures together, with Nicola affectionately draping an arm over her mother-in-law’s shoulder.

      It was a far cry from the bitter feud reportedly triggered after Posh allegedly pulled out of designing the bride’s frock, leaving her raging.
      The daughter of US billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz ended up walking down the aisle at her family’s mansion in Miami in a gown by Italian fashion legend Valentino.
      But in recent months, there have been signs relations between the pair have improved, with Victoria sharing snaps celebrating Christmas with eldest son Brooklyn and wife.
      And Brooklyn recently revealed that his mum and wife had bonded over their love of tinned vodka snapples —  a mix of vodka and fruit flavored iced tea.
      Also mentioning his ex-football ace dad David, 48, the budding chef said: “’We love Sunday roasts. Me and my dad share a bottle of wine. My mum and Nicola share vodka Snapple.”
      Brooklyn added: “We sometimes play games. My wife introduced my family to this game called Fish Bowl, which we love to play at gatherings.” More
