Only Cameron Diaz could get Benji Madden back on social media.

The Good Charlotte member posted a sweet snap via Instagram for the first time in nearly six months on Wednesday to honor the actress’ 51st year.

“I’m off line mostly these days, just working, painting, making things and doing family life, but I have grown to like my little tradition of coming back on special occasions to show love to my Queen,” the rocker, 44, captioned a photo of Diaz smiling with a cat in her arms.

“So today, it’s a very Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife, best friend, best partner in everything, ride or die, greatest Mom to our little girl, @Avaline wine boss, family chef, advisor, collaborator and everything else,” Madden continued. “You do it all ❤️.”
