Are Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden headed for a divorce? After tying the knot earlier this year in a surprise wedding, Enstars says that Diaz has reportedly lost control of herself because of her "toxic" marriage with the Good Charlotte band member.

First reported by OK! Magazine, a source from the publication said on Tuesday, "Cam’s like a walking zombie these days, she’s totally under Benji’s spell."

“She has to run everything past Benji, from going to the market to having her nails done -- and he only approves her to hang out with certain people, like Nicole [Richie, her sister-in-law]," the source added. Daily Mail notes that Richie and Diaz have been long-term friends and became sisters in law when Diaz wed Madden, whose twin is married to Richie.

Enstars further said that Diaz's friends initially ignored the behavior of the "Bad Teacher" star, expecting that it's something that Diaz will get over shortly. However, it has reportedly gotten worse with Diaz asking permission from Madden for her every move.

“It’s like he’s got her captive in his prison and she’s powerless to break free,” OK! Magazine's source said.

Meanwhile, amidst the divorce rumors between Diaz and Madden, the two were spotted together on Monday at the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art hanging out with Richie, her husband and their kids.

Daily Mail reports that Diaz wore white long-sleeves layered with a black poncho. She paired it with skinny jeans and combat boots. Richie, on the other hand, donned a "super fluffy faux fur coat" in ivory hue with a shaggy texture. The said coat is by Stella McCartney and is, indeed, a scene stealer. Diaz's bearded husband, 36, wore a pair of drop-crotch jeans, a blue button-up polo top and black waistcoat. He paired his casual yet edgy ensemble with a cap.

Madden, along with his twin brother Joel, are members of the rock band Good Charlotte, who have been in hiatus for five years. However, the news outlet reports that the band will be releasing their sixth album in May.

Talking to Rolling Stone, Joel said, "I think turning it off for five years, going out and living life as an optimist, [I learned] maybe there's more to me than just being the guy in the band. I had to learn how to be a productive human outside of music to become a more productive person in music."
