  • The "Surfer, Dude" actor was seen at an event with his wife of ten years, Camila McConaughey, who he met when he wasn't looking for women.
  • After meeting her, the then-36-year-old Matthew McConaughey knew she was the woman he had been looking for and went on to have children with her.
  • He did not tie the knot with her until she became the mother of his two kids. They married in a private ceremony, away from the public eye, and welcomed another child after.

"Interstellar" star Matthew McConaughey was recently spotted exiting a black Mercedes-Benz S550, looking dapper in a light blue shirt paired with dark pants and a matching waistcoat. Surrounded by paparazzi, McConaughey walked toward the other side of the vehicle while fans shouted his name.

Holding the car's door, he peeked inside the vehicle, smiling at his wife of 10 years, Camila Alves. They had a short conversation before he helped her exit the vehicle to join him.

The "A Time to Kill" actor was 36 when he saw his now-wife for the first time. At the time, he thought it was time for him to start a family, but he hadn't found the right person.

"The clock was ticking," McConaughey recalled, stating that he didn't want to feel anxious about getting married. He believed anxiousness would lead him to wrong decisions, so he remained patient and finally met the perfect girl.

Meeting the then-24-year-old Alves made McConaughey realize she was the girl he had been looking for. He met her at a time when he had stopped looking for women, unaware that he would soon fall in love with her.

"We have a love that we never question," the actor said in an interview about finding the perfect partner in Alves. One source revealed that the model "likes roughing it," and would go hiking for days without complaining or showering.

After becoming a couple, McConaughey and Alves went on to have three children, but their journey was challenging. While pregnant with their first baby, Levi, Alves had planned the birth, but things didn't go her way.

"I was in labor for three days," the model revealed in an interview about her delivery experience, but having her partner by her side was relieving. McConaughey made sure the soon-to-be mother was comfortable in her hospital room, even playing her the music she loved. He stayed with her throughout the labor period, even when she fainted because of the painful contractions.

Alves had planned to deliver her son through natural childbirth, but the doctors were forced to perform an emergency C-section after she failed to push the baby out. Even then, she felt scared for her baby's life.

The mother of three remembers how the doctors were trying to find Levi's heartbeat to no avail. Feeling dazed by anesthesia, she knew something was wrong, but the medical professionals eventually realized the baby was fine.

It took a while for McConaughey to finally propose marriage to Alves. Although he thought she was the perfect partner, he felt marriage wasn't something they needed to strengthen their relationship.

It was only after the couple already welcomed their second child, daughter Vida in 2010, that McConaughey had a change of heart. The couple wed in 2012, surrounded by close friends and family. They preferred to keep the ceremony private.

Before McConaughey tied the knot with the mother of his kids, who he calls "the love of my life," some people on the guest list had no idea about the wedding ceremony. He kept quiet about his wedding plans until the big day came close. They welcomed their third child, Livingston, later that year.
