Madden expressed the couple’s gratitude in the caption, stating that they are “Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED” to welcome their new addition. According to official reports from The Independent, Nautas joins the couple’s six-year-old daughter, Raddix, and two-year-old son, Cardinal, officially making them a family of five.
The choice of the name “Nautas” continues the couple’s tradition of selecting unique and meaningful monikers for their children.

As reported by India Today, the nautical theme was further emphasized by hand-drawn illustrations included in the post, which appeared to be created by the couple’s older children.

Industry observers have noted that the couple’s journey into parenthood has been a point of inspiration for many, as they have been open about the joys of starting a family later in life. While the pair has not shared specific details regarding the birth, they reiterated that their children are “happy and healthy” and that they are “having a blast” navigating their new reality.
The Times of India noted that the Madden-Diaz household remains one of Hollywood’s most grounded units, despite the global fame of its parents. As messages of congratulations pour in from fellow celebrities and fans alike, the arrival of Nautas Madden stands as a celebratory chapter for the couple, who recently celebrated their eleventh wedding anniversary.
