Matthew McConaughey and Wife Welcome Third Child!
by Shannon Keirnan
“Magic Mike” actor and shirt-hater Matthew McConaughey has welcomed his third child with beautiful wife, Camila Alvez.
Alvez gave birth December 28th, to speculation that she had had a daughter. However McConaughey took to social media to make the announcement and set the record straight.
"Camila Alves gave birth to our third child yesterday morning. Our son, Livingston Alves McConaughey was born at 7:43am on 12.28.12. He greeted the world at 9lbs. and 21 inches. Bless up and thank you for your well wishes. Happy New year, and just keep livin, Camila and Matthew McConaughey."
Bless up?
McConaughey, 43, and Alves, 30, married in June. They also have a 4-year-old son, Levi, and a 3-year-old daughter, Vida.
Brazilian Alves said in September that her two little nuggets were already anticipating Livingston’s arrival with excitement.
"I think they fully understand that it's a little baby coming. They love it."
McConaughey told GQ that his pretty bride was the woman he wanted to make a family with, and live “life out together” with.
“I always wanted to be a father,” he has said. "It just took the right woman and the right time to make it happen."
He and Alves met in 2006.
McConaughey is also garnering interest for dropping down to stick-like proportions by dropping 40 pounds off his muscular form to play HIV-positive Ron Woodruff in “Dallas Buyers Club,” due out next year.
"If anything, it's as much a spiritual journey as it is physical,” he said of the experience.
Let’s hope he looks at new-baby-induced sleep deprivation with the same positive attitude! Congratulations to both!
