What is the secret to Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden’s long-lasting marriage? Therapy. While talking to her brother-in-law Joel Madden on his Artist Friendly podcast Wednesday, the 52-year-old actress shared that therapy “is a big thing” for them.
She means it when she says it’s a “big” part of their relationship, too! Cameron explained: Wow! According to Cameron, therapy has taught the couple, who have been married for nearly a decade, a lot on how to stop and reflect on what happened, so they don’t keep doing the “same thing over and over again.” She added: Related: Khloé Kardashian Quit Therapy After Being BETRAYED By Her Therapist! However, one person can’t put all effort into the relationship!
The Charlie’s Angels alum recognizes that both partners must want to do it and be “100 percent” committed to each other, or it just won’t work: And at the end of the day, Cameron is “most grateful” for her marriage to Benji and the family they’ve created together with their 4-year-old daughter Raddix and 8-month-old son Cardinal, so she’s willing to do everything and anything she can to make it work.
The Holiday star expressed: Aww. They aren’t the only couple to go to therapy in the family, either! Joel admitted he and his wife, Nicole Richie, are big on working with a therapist as well: Honestly, we love this!
