"It's totally opened up. I'm excited. I've got 50 or 60 years to go — I want to live to be 110, since I've got a young child. I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her — be there with her in her 40s," Diaz said.

Last October, the actress shared with  Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show that Madden is the "best dad."

"He's like, Benj at home, being the best dad ever and running all of his businesses, and then he just gets up there and he's like, 'Yeah, all right, pyro! Pfft," said Diaz of seeing Madden perform on stage.

The movie star said on her October 2023 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Madden also loves to sing to their daughter.
