Who Is Matthew McConaughey's Wife, Camila Alves?
We’ve seen her on red carpets, on social media, and on the news. Matthew McConaughey’s wife, also known as Camila Alves, is a stunning woman who’s been around for quite a while. Not only does she have an incredible amount of physical beauty, but we discovered that she’s also got a whole lot of business savvy...not to mention some slick motherhood tricks everyone loves.
Alves is absolutely incredible and we’re surprised she doesn’t come up in conversation more often.
From their hilarious beginnings in a club (McConaughey was undercover) to where she’s at now with entrepreneurship and kids, we’ve gone through and found all the best facts about Camila Alves. Trust us, there’s nobody out there who comes close to all the incredible things she does! (well, okay, maybe Beyonce.)
12 Well, Firstly, She’s A Model
Or, rather, she was. We don’t know if she’s doing much in the way of modeling now, but it was one of the main things that she came to the U.S. for. Her portfolio was strong, and she is always ready to jump in front of a camera. However, it seems like she’s refocused her passion into entrepreneurship; that takes the same amount of grit and hustle that modeling does.
11 She And Matthew Met In The Most Awkward Way
This woman literally blew into Matthew McConaughey’s life and swept him up in a whirlwind. However, it wasn’t reciprocated. While Matthew might have been invested from the get-go, Camila Alves certainly was not. According to Matthew, it took a whole lot of convincing to get her to go for it! He had to fight pretty hard to impress her. She just didn’t know who he was at first!
10 She Had Quite The Life Beforehand
Maybe that’s because she was so busy living her own life down in Brazil - news of Matthew McConaughey never quite reached her. What a life she was living! It was really the opposite in a lot of ways of the life she's living now. Celebrity wasn’t on her mind when she was young, but she was destined to be well-known.
9 And She’s No Stranger To Hard Work
When she did move to America, she was quite young. She's looked back at that time, saying: "growing up, I had to make my own way… It was not like I'm going to call Dad to pay the bills. That wasn't part of the equation. I had to figure it out...I know how to take care of a house, so I started cleaning houses."
8 And Runs Several Successful Businesses Now
Between helping charitable organizations and her all-natural organic baby food company, she’s got a lot on her plate already. However, these aren’t her only business endeavors. She and her mom also have a business together; one that fulfills every woman’s desire for a handbag that can stand up to the rigors of everyday life.
7 She’s Got Great Morals
One of the big things we should all look for in a partner is a strong moral code. “The main thing is that my wife and I, Camila, we have a similar moral bottom line. And as you learn, if you have kids, every day they get older, you realize how much more it’s really DNA”, according to People.
If you and your partner aren’t compatible morally, you’re probably going to run into some issues.
6 And A Rational Personality
One of the big things we admire about Camila is her rational personality. She explains that “real drama will come. That's inevitable. It's going to happen. ... Problems are going to happen; they're out of our control, and that will be real drama. But the things that you do have control over, don't make them a big deal. I don't see myself as being a Zen person. I see myself as being adaptable”, according to Daily Mail, which is how she’s managed to survive and thrive!
5 She’s Made Her Own Home
Home can be a point of contention for many of us who grew up in more than one place. Camila Alves moved from Brazil when she was still a teenager. She says, “even though I was born and raised in Brazil, my family is still there, and that's my home country — if you ask me, 'Where is your home?' I would say it's here...It's Texas, and I take pride in that.” She knows that home is where the heart is, and where you’ve set down your roots.
4 She Knows Herself (According To Matthew)
The way the story goes is actually kind of sweet. McConaughey hit on Camila Alves a few times, and while she was hesitant at first, she did go home with him...but only to sleep in his guest bedroom! Matthew was convinced then and there that she was the one because it was proof that she knew herself and was strong in terms of self-respect.
3 They Know How To Keep Their Love Alive
One of the things that Camila Alves seems to be pretty good at is figuring out how to keep their romance alive (even during lockdown). While she might have been hesitant to start things off with McConaughey, she’s certainly pushing to keep them strong. “[We do] a lot of staying at home, cooking together or getting a hotel room that is 10 minutes away from the house,” proving that you don’t need any big, grand gestures to keep love blossoming.
2 And How To Keep Everyone Healthy
One of her business ventures is Yummy Spoonfuls. We’ve touched on it briefly before, but it’s worth diving into. Yummy Spoonfuls grew because “when [she] became a mother for the first time, it became even more clear that changes needed to be made in the baby food industry — especially for the most important beings in the world.” Organic, natural foods are the name of her game, keeping everyone healthy from day one.
1 She’s Gorgeous, Inside And Out
All in all, she’s just a gorgeous woman. Not only is she a fantastic mother, but she’s also managed to craft a business savvy that’s second to none. Her relationship is strong and (let’s be real) she still looks like a supermodel, a decade down the line. Is she the most perfect person in the world? We certainly think so.
