10. How They Met
Although both Diaz and Madden have been pretty tight-lipped about their relationship, a few months into their marriage, they started opening up a little more. It was revealed early on that Diaz’s good friend Nicole Richie had introduced the two as Benji Madden is, of course, the twin brother of Richie’s husband Joel Madden. In an interview in April 2016 on Andy Cohen’s radio show, Diaz opened up even further about their initial meeting and her instant attraction to Madden. “It was one of those things where everyone tells you, ‘You just know when you know.’ I was like, ‘What does that mean?’ Oh I get it. You just know when you know. Like you’re my husband. The first thing I said when I first met my husband was, ‘He’s hot!’ How come I didn’t know this before? We had never been in the same circle.” She revealed that she then saw him again when she had a dinner party at her house with Nicole and Joel, and Joel asked if he could invite his brother too. “Then I saw him again and I was like, ‘Wait a second, still hot!'”
