The photo was part of a campaign for their tequila brand, Pantalones, coinciding with "No Pants Day" on May 3. In a statement, the couple explained, "We're precious about our tequila, not our pants. With the explosion in popularity of tequila, there’s a level of snootiness that’s crept into the category."
Their statement highlighted the growing trend of people discussing tequila with the same enthusiasm and sophistication as wine. The couple also added, "While we're all for being passionate about tequila, we wanted to remind people that, above all, it’s meant to be fun."
As for their relationship, McConaughey shared his perspective on marriage and dating. He explained that in dating, disagreements can often lead to doubts, but in marriage, it's about commitment and working through challenges together.
He emphasized continuing simple acts of care, like serving tea or dinner, even during misunderstandings. "I'm still going to serve my lady at my steak sushi because I know she loves it, even though we may be in a disagreement," he added.
Alves shared insights into her relationship, emphasizing that it's not always easy. She believes in choosing love and putting effort into making their union work, even amidst challenges. She stresses the importance of asking oneself what one prioritizes in a relationship.
The Brazilian model said, "But when you’re doing the work, what do you choose? That’s the question that it's really important for people to ask when you’re working in your relationship, what do you choose? And for me, I choose love and I choose growth."
While McConaughey is celebrated as a superstar, Alves equally commands attention as a dazzling star in her own realm. This was evident when she and her husband attended this year's Oscars in Los Angeles in March.
Alves chose a unique style for her Oscar look that left some fans speechless and amazed. She paired an elegant long black gown with a sparkling embellished bra and a chunky necklace to match.

The sleeves of the dress were made of a plastic-like material, glistening in the paparazzi flashlights. The model let her hair down in relaxed waves and went for a bold makeup look with bronze contouring and nude lips.
It turns out that the dress was custom-made by Atelier Versace, with custom sleeve gloves made by Atsuko Kudo Latex.
Alves paired the chic and stunning outfit with dazzling jewelry from Bulgari, and after pictures of her look were released, she posted, "@donatella_versace this dress designed special by YOU custom made for me by Atelier Versace @versace was a dream !!! Truly…Thank you!!!" wrote Alves.
The public was even more in love with the outfit than Alves herself. Some considered the look to be the most stylish one on the Oscars' red carpet. "She outclassed all the entertainers!" commented a user. "She is the best dressed elegant woman there! [sic]" another agreed.

Some fashion admirers paid respect to the dress and jewelry choice, with one user commenting, "Seems so unique as I've not seen that style before." Another person added, "The necklace is to die for."
While McConaughey’s wife wowed the audience with her fashion statement, he wore a simple dark-brown suit by Versace with a white button-up shirt and a black bowtie. The actor slicked his hair back and put on a pair of glasses to shield himself from the flashes of the cameras.
Despite the glamorous looks of the couple, a fan decided to remind the public how humble McConaughey and his wife really are. "[I] reckon these two are so down to earth that they'll be looking like the rest of us for the rest of the week," a user wrote, and was correct. The couple lives far away from the busy LA life, with their house in the suburbs of Texas.
Matthew McConaughey's heart belongs to Texas, and since making the Lone Star State their permanent home in 2014, he and Alves have fully embraced its charm. In addition to enjoying their Texan life, the couple also enjoys parenthood.
The acclaimed actor recently shared heartwarming photos from the Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala in Austin, offering fans a rare glimpse of his family.
