After years of speculation about her romantic life Cameron Diaz seems to be certain she married the right guy.

The 43-year-old actress recently opened up about her marriage to musician Benji Madden saying “Nothing matters now that I have my husband.”

While chatting to Andy Cohen on his Sirius XM Radio show the actress said she remembers nothing of her dating life before saying ‘I do’ to Madden in January 2015.

“I don’t even remember any of that,” said Diaz. “Like that’s the thing, that’s how I know he’s my husband because no one compares.” 

The couple wed in an intimate ceremony in their living room after being engaged for nearly three months. 

Cameron also confessed that the attraction was very physical the first time she met the 37-year-old Good Charlotte singer.

“The first thing I saw when I first met my husband, I was like he’s hot!” she said. “We had just never been in the same circle, then I saw him like a year later, I saw him again, and I was like wait a second, still hot.”

Apparently it was Cameron’s now sister-in-law Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden (Benji’s twin) who introduced the pair at a barbecue at her house. 

“Joel said ‘Hey, can my brother come over?’ And I said, ‘Of course, it’s family, we’re having a barbecue’ and then he walked in the door and I was like … you! You!” 

Cameron, who dated Justin Timerlake for several years before he married Jessica Beil, said all the hurt of past failed romance has been eclipsed by her relationship with Benji.

“Everything else just kind of like washes and slips away,” said Cameron.

“You realise like, ‘Oh right, this is what the real thing is, this is what real love is and this is what commitment and devotion is.’ This is the person that you build your life with, and for me, it’s like the rest of everything else just kind of like dissolves.”
