Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden promise 'always and forever' in wedding anniversary celebration

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are celebrating seven years in heaven.

The celebrity couple commemorated their seventh wedding anniversary Wednesday with sweet tributes to each other on Instagram.

"Always dreamed of having a family like this. Happy, peaceful, consistent, loyal and unconditional equally filled with passion and depth," Madden captioned a post featuring a colorful painting of a tiger. "Calling it a Honeymoon doesn’t cover it. Real life. The only real challenge we have is making time go slower cause life goes by fast in the happy lane, Always and forever knowing we are home."

Actress Diaz, 49, and Good Charlotte guitarist Madden, 42, tied the knot Jan. 5, 2015, and announced two days before their fifth anniversary they had welcomed their first child, a girl named Raddix. 

"I (heart) YOU MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY," Diaz replied in the comments of Madden's post. "Happy, peaceful, consistent, loyal and unconditional. Passionate and deep = OUR LOVE" 

She added: "LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS"

Reflecting on getting married later in life – Diaz was 42 when she and Madden tied the knot – the actress said at Gwyneth Paltrow's 2017 Goop health and wellness conference that she "just hadn't met my husband yet." 

"I had boyfriends before. And there’s a really, really distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends," she said. "And I have a husband who is … just my partner in life and in everything. Talk about two very different people, we are so different from one another but we share the same values … we’re totally two peas in a pod. We’re both just weird enough for each other."

"We women are objectified so much," she continued. "And somehow my husband has just been able to kind of show me what it’s like not to have that be a part of a relationship, and being an equal."

Diaz added that Madden supports her ambitions equally. "I never experienced that before. I’d never been loved in that way," she said. "Where he and (his brother) Joel came from and what they've accomplished in their lives … just the drive, for the purest reasons. They push themselves. I look at him every day and he inspires me. He works so hard. I feel so lucky."
