"She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family. While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one's privacy.

"Sincerely, Cameron&Benj."

Others realized that they were so "out of the loop" on celebrity news that not only was the pregnancy news a surprise to them, but so was the fact that Diaz and Madden were married.

"I had no idea they were a couple. Last I remember he was with Nicole Richie," one Twitter user wrote, mistaking confusing Benji Madden with his twin brother, Joel Madden. Richie and Joel Madden have been married since 2010.
