Matthew McConaughey Welcomes Baby Girl

Matthew McConaughey welcomes the new year with a new addition to the family. McConaughey's girlfriend, Camila Alves, gave birth to a daughter, Vida. This is the couple's second child.

Vida was born on January 3 at 12:13am. She was 7 lbs. 7 oz. Her full name is Vida Alves McConaughey, according to Matthew's official website.

McConaughey continued to write on his website, "Vida is Portuguese for 'life' and that's what God gave us this morning ... Camila's recovering wonderfully and we are both truly honored to welcome this little lady into our family ... Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers along the way, another blessed day, we give thanks."

Where In The World Is.. Matthew McConaughey?

Fresh from a worldwide road trip, the new dad, 39, took to his MySpace Celebrity blog Saturday to share his recent "just keep livin'" moments and reveals how he spent his Nov. 4 birthday. He's been a pretty busy guy lately! What a cute family portrait, courtesy of his MySpace, though!

"I spent my 39th birthday on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon," he blogs of his special day with girlfriend Camila Alves and son Levi, 5 months. "[I] almost got 'butted' off the edge by a ram and caught some shooting stars." Mother Nature created something that looks so fake, it's real. I was once again reminded of how good looking this country is."

He also went to Brazil with Alves and blogged about that adventure. "I went to Brazil for the first time to visit my lady's family and tour the land a bit," McConaughey blogs. "Found a very proud and happy culture there. We ate, we drank, we danced, and they tolerated my stumbling through the Portuguese language....I will return, beautiful country, beautiful and classy people...thanks Brazil...cool."

Matthew McConaughey's dad died during sex, mom says

Dina Lohan could learn a thing or two about well-placed sound bites from Matthew McConaughey's mom.

McConaughey's father died having sex with his mom, Mama McConaughey says in her new book, "I Amaze Myself!"

“On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love,” Kay McConaughey tells Us Weekly. “But one day, all of a sudden, it just happened. I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing," she says. "But it was just the best way to go!”

When her husband couldn’t be revived, she made sure he was taken from the house in the nude.

“I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey — and his gift,” she says.

Matthew McConaughey was a happy accident, she reveals. It was just after she’d married Matthew’s dad for the third time.

“I was deciding, ‘Do I want to have another baby? Do I want to have an affair? Or go back to school?’” she says. “That’s when Matthew was conceived. We had tried for 16 years and no baby. So Matthew was a big surprise!”

Matthew McConaughey refuses to hire nanny for son Levi

Matthew McConaughey is reportedly refusing to hire a nanny for new son Levi.

The 'Fool's Gold' actor - who welcomed his first child with fiance Camila Alves into the world last month - is said to be determined to raise his son without any outside help, much to the distress of Brazilian model Camila.

A source said: "If Matt could breastfeed the baby himself, he would. The house is getting messier and neither Matt or Camila are getting much sleep. Camila wants to hire someone but Matthew strongly objects - he thinks at least for the first few months he and Camila should be the only ones caring for Levi."

Matthew recently revealed he hopes Levi grows up to be less "selfish" than himself.

He said: "Of all the aspects of my character my kid could inherit, I hope it's not my tendency to be selfish. I can be pretty selfish. That wouldn't be a good part of my personality to have."

Matthew McConaughey: Having a Baby Is “Bloody and Wild”

Matthew McConaughey and his longtime girlfriend Camila Alves revealed the first pictures of their son Levi Alves, born on July 7.

The 38-year-old actor told OK! magazine he learned something new from the experience: “This is where I learned—and no one tells you this—but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild.”

But McConaughey wasn’t too surprised to find out it was a boy. “I said, ‘Come here, little man.’ I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],” Matthew told the magazine.

The Brazilian model, 25, had her man right by her side, and not in the cliche way.

The Dazed and Confused actor admitted, “Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.”

Levi was born at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and weighed a healthy 7 lbs., 4 oz., and he told the magazine he kept a detailed diary of his and Alves’ hospital experience.

“I have it all chronicled,” he explained. “Becoming a dad is something I’ve dreamed of doing since I was 10. Becoming a father felt very, very natural. We were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let’s go. She just clicked into that gear that only a woman has at a time like this. We’d been up for 40-something hours, and we went from dead tired to a really steadfast, ‘Let’s handle this… let’s stay in the rhythm. Don’t let the contraction be more than you.’”

Matthew added, “I’ve pulled out some baby pictures of myself, and the resemblance is amazing. This kid has a lot to learn from us. I want him to come out being a little wiser, a little cooler and a little happier than we are.”
