In Aug. 2017, the 40-year-old "Good Charlotte" band member posted a sweet tribute for his wife in the celebration of her birthday.

Before the sweet birthday greeting post, the "Charlie's Angels" actress told InStyle magazine in June 2017 how Benji is her partner in life and everything.

"Marriage is certainly hard, and it's a lot of work," the 47-year-old actress stated. "You need somebody who's willing to do the work with you because there's no 60-40 in marriage. It's 50-50, period. All the time."

One of my favorite things about being married, is how much pride I take in my husband @benjaminmadden... 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. Baby you amaze me... CONGRATS!! @goodcharloteband @mddnco #youthauthority #proud https://apple.co/YouthAuthority A post shared by Cameron Diaz (@camerondiaz) on Jul 15, 2016 at 12:06pm PDT
