Cameron Diaz reveals why she loves being married to Benji Madden

LOS ANGELES, July 17 (UPI) -- Actress Cameron Diaz took to Instagram this weekend to explain why she loves being married to musician Benji Madden.

"One of my favorite things about being married, is how much pride I take in my husband @benjaminmadden..." Diaz said in her post, which accompanied a black and white video clip of Madden performing with his band Good Charlotte.

"He makes me proud everyday.. One day it might be how generous and giving, another how gentle and thoughtful. Or when he is fiercely protective of the people he loves and cares about... And everyday single day I am so incredibly proud of his integrity as a human being.. But TODAY what I'm most proud of is his talent... his gift.... Today his band @goodcharlotteband released their first album in 6 years #YouthAuthority .. What makes me even more proud is that he has released it on his own independent label MDDN... And it is so damn GOOOOOOOOD... Its so full of love and hope and truth... about forging and holding onto love... I wish that everyone could write music to express their pain.. their fears... their hopes and dreams."

Diaz and Madden have been married since January 2015.
