Cameron Diaz turned 49 on Aug. 30, and her husband Benji Madden jumped on the opportunity to gush about her. Madden, whose Instagram bio describes him as "Husband/Dadda/Brother/Worker/Painter/Maker/Friend" (he contains multitudes), shared one of his paintings on Instagram to celebrate the former actress' birthday.
He captioned the post, "Happy Birthday to my Wife, you are beautiful in all ways, we are so lucky to have you [...] what you do who you are day in and day out to the ones you love always true blue- hard to put it all in a IG post but I love to have a reason to say it out loud I love you @camerondiaz."
Madden's brothers chimed in with their own sweet words for their sister-in-law. Joel Madden, who is married to Nicole Richie, wrote, "the best @camerondiaz" with three red hearts. Josh Madden commented, "brightest loveliest light @camerondiaz."
