Matthew McConaughey announced on his website Sunday night (Father’s Day) that he and girlfriend Camila Alves are expecting their second baby. Their first baby, son Levi, is only 11 months old. I would suspect that Camila and Matthew decided to announce now because she is nearing the end of her first trimester, the traditional time to announce. Which means Camila is probably due January-ish. Perhaps Camila and Gisele Bundchen have the same due date. There must be something in the water:
Father’s Day was twice as sweet for Matthew McConaughey: Not only did he get to celebrate his first Father’s Day with 11-month old Levi, his son with girlfriend Camila Alves, but the couple is expecting a second baby, he revealed on his Web site Sunday night.
“Happy Father’s Day. It’s my first, and the last 11 months with Levi and Camila have been the most rewarding adventure to date,” McConaughey writes. “We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father’s Day that [will] make this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother… Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time, Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows…. just keep livin, Matthew and Camila.”
For McConaughey, 39, fatherhood “is a wild, wonderful adventure,” he told People in May. “It’s a great new chapter in life, for sure.”
Make that chapter two.

Congratulations to Matthew and Camila – they seem like great, involved hippie parents to Levi and they’re most likely absolutely thrilled with a second baby on the way. As I see more of Matthew as a dad, I like him more. I had always been kind of “meh” about his personality and acting career, but he seems much more centered and cool now that he’s a father. Judging from the epically cute paparazzi photos of Matthew and Levi, I think they’re two peas in a hippie pod. Still, I’m sort of hoping this second baby is a little girl. I think being a dad to a little girl would improve Matthew even more. Suddenly there would be no more trailers and bongo-playing and his life would be about barrettes and glitter. It would be good for Matthew. And Camila probably wants a girl too!

Its kinda funny…I wish Matthew would marry Camila but she comes off as a chill girl who probably isn’t in any rush–thats cool
Ok, I will give one child out of wed lock accidents happen. Now she is having number 2. Matthew put a ring on this girls finger and make it legal!!
Congrats!
Carrie, not everybody feels the need to jump into the matrimony wagon to justify their love. This is probably just the way it works for them. 🙂
Congrats to the both of them! In a slightly unrelated note, now that you mentioned Gisele, I think Camila is so much prettier than Gisele. Team Mila!
Carrie – did I just walk into 1955?
I feel that Camilla Alves is THE most gorgeous woman in all of Hollywood. McConaughey, I don’t care for – at all. He better treat her BEYOND right.
I think they’re engaged.
Maybe this baby will look like him – Levi’s adorable, but you can’t see much of Matty’s genes…
After my first marriage fiasco, I swore I would NEVER marry again. And I haven’t. I’ve been with my other half now for 7 years, raising my children together. Building a life together. We’re not concerned with a piece of paper or a ceremony.. We already feel loved and secure in our relationship. Don’t get me wrong… we’ve talked about marriage. It’s just not something either one of us needs to be happy. If people focused on the actual relationship instead of whether or not they’ve got some magical piece of paper, marriages would last longer.
Does anyone else notice a resemblence between Camila and the real housewives of NJ Teresa? I think its the forehead..
I have to somewhat agree with Carrie. When committed couples with children choose not to marry (not referring to couples who are unable to legally marry), it usually boils down to fear of long-term commitment or fear of the marriage failing. Yet bearing and raising children are both long-term commitments and risky, so what gives?
Why not marry. Fear of losing assets in a divorce? Get a pre-nup. Once chidren are involved, both parties are financially obligated, regardless. Not sure if you love your partner enough to say forever? Stop having more children until you’re sure. It’s not fair to your partner or kids.
I’m not trying to be preachy. The baby carriage came before marriage for me. I had to hard sell the idea to my never-married partner, but he saw the light, and it’s been a great thing for everyone all the way around.
Marriage is a piece of paper. Those kids and the life they’ve built together are commitment enough. Congrats to them!
(and yes, I’m married)
this little girl would be happy in a trailer – playing bongos or playing houseee- just sayin
Congrats to them. I surprise they made it this long. She must not make any demands on him.
They give the impression that their kids are going to be some of the most well-adjusted, stable celebrity kids around.
it usually boils down to fear of long-term commitment or fear of the marriage failing.
Nope. Totally disagree.
I believe Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel are a good example. (LOOOVE THEM!)
Some people just don’t believe in it. And why should they? It’s a social construct that is currently being used to oppress a set of people (and has been used in the past as such.)
Gosh. I know that this second kid is going to be cute as all get out. Because Levi is beyond adorable.
If a millionaire is stoned enough a gold digger can really get whatever she wants.
He was such a promising actor once. Now he is just fodder for foreign gold diggers.
I am sure he was on Gisele’s list if Tom wouldn’t marry her.
Levi’s gorgeous, why not bring another one into the world. Awesome news for them.
Yeah well the little girl has made sure her future is taken care of lol
Yeah… what he really wants are some true, home-grown American (f*ck yeah!) gold-diggers.
Gold Digger?
There’s probably a good chance that that’s true…but seriously, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it probably isn’t that bad getting to sleep with him on a regular basis.
My idea of a gold digger is more the rich ugly person who’s getting sexed up by a hotter person.
There’s a good chance she’d still do him if he were broke. I mean, LOOK at him. You could break a cinder block on those abs.
Agree with Carrie and Cinderella.
Anyway, methinks that having children out of wedlock has been the norm in many places for a long while already.
If you’re rich and in Hollywood, even more reason — I suppose — to avoid the legally binding ties of marriage. Not counting the division of property and assets, just paying for the process of divorce is costly (lawyer’s fees). And pre-nups, if well-written, don’t come cheap either. It’s much cheaper to shack up when things are happy, and then break up when things get unhappy. Plus, no need to pay any wedding costs.
Although I doubt it’s really about the COSTS that’s causing people in Hollywood to do everything (live together, have children) except actually get married. I think it’s more of a paranoid attitude most people have towards the institution itself. And I think selfishness ultimately has something to do with it too.
I totally understand when people who have been married before, and subsequently divorced, decide not to get married to their new partners. But when never-married couples decide that marriage is low-priority while shacking up and having children is high-priority… well, I’m a Romantic so I find something a little wistful about it.
I remember reading a comment Trudie Styler made during an interview years ago about having Sting’s kids but no wedding ring. It went something like:
One of her children came home upset because another child called him a bastard. Trudie said, “You’re not a bastard, that would be your father.”
It seems like they were married soon afterward.
yes, liking her or not, Gisele is the richiest/best payed model in the world for quite a while now,and that´s LOADS of money(more than you´ll ever make NED)
so WHAT´s UP with the gold digger comment??? That seriously made me laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Camila and Matthew are great together, FAMILY and marriage are different things(note that they are not the same WORD)…and to have a happy family you don´t have to be married!
wow, interesting camille would be so quick to get pregnant after being in labour for three days with levi. yikes.
there is nothing wrong with wanting some sort of tradition. marriage is a lovely way to tell someone you want to be with them, to witness their life and them yours, both in words and on paper. it never fails to amaze me how people think nothing of having kids together, which by the way is a “forever committment” and run screaming for the hills when marriage is mentioned.
it just is a sad reflection on society where people think marriage is trivial, a prison, a bad thing, too difficult, etc., when i think it is one of the most beautiful and loving expressions of one’s love and dedication to another.
of course, that means a marriage that is monogamous and not one like that michael gambon. 😉
I think they have both stated that they aren’t very interested in getting married or that they are in no hurry.
Some people consider having children a bigger commitment than getting married.
You can get a divorce, but you can’t (well you SHOULDN’T) quit being a parent to your children.
I’m married. Sometimes I get jealous of the perks that unmarried couples get. I know Camille and Matthew don’t worry about that because they have plenty of money. Sometimes I feel like I’ve been punished for getting married and THEN having a baby. Oh well. That’s MY beliefs. Camille and Matthew should do what’s best for them and what they believe. They have a beautiful family!
That dress is perfect for hiding a baby bump…
LOL, you people are talking as if Matthew have chosen to have baby n. 1, and just CHOSE to do it without getting married.
I liked Matt a lot, but the guy can’t tell who is even around him for a couple of years now, and he never chose to have a baby with Camila.
She may have done him, but she would never get prego and stayed had he not have millions of dollars.
Actually, I take it back. I am not sure she would even spend time on him, had he just been this dude who smokes all day and isn’t a movie star with a fat bank account.
As for Gisele- I think we all know she was on a mission of getting married to an American star.
Her first choice was hollywood star, but then she moved to sport (surfing…) as long as we are talking about a rich famous American.
The fact that she had her own money has nothing to do with that.
Case in point- Katie Homes.
Need I say more?
Give it a rest Ned, so by your own ignorant theory, any woman who gets with a richer man is an automatic gold digger and in it for anything expect love and simple really liking the guy. What about men who marry much richer women, what are they then Ned?
God, whenever a man (I presume Ned is male) leaves a comment in a any gossip site they always turn it into a gender thing and start whining about “women this…” and “women that…”, I have stop reading the comments on some sites because of the unfair things (and some of them can be really disgusting) some male bloggers say about women (eg The superficial, to name a few) and after awhile it just gets depressing and annoying and makes you think that a lot of men have a chip on their shoulder.
Ned is not a man.
They seems like a beautiful couple that enjoy the important and simple things in life. Congradulations to both of them.
Great beat ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your web site, how could i subscribe for a weblog site? The account aided me a acceptable deal. I had been tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided bright transparent concept
