MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY WAS IN NO HURRY TO GET MARRIED

Matthew McConaughey ,53, and his Brazilian model wife Camila Alves,43, were guests at the Gran Prix races in France, and from the way he holds her hand, they look very together. They met in 2006 and their first son Levi was born in 2008. Matthew was happily unmarried and didn’t want to jinx it by actually tying the knot. (He admired Kurt and Goldie’s relationship.) But in 2010 after their daughter Vida was born, Camila gave Matthew an ultimatum: it’s now or never. Matthew admitted he didn’t want to do it just because it was the RIGHT thing to do – he wanted to WANT to get married. After talking to both divorced and happily married friends, he decided he DID want to, and they married in 2012 with no regrets so far…

SANDRA BULLOCK DOESN’T HOLD A GRUDGE

Back in the 90’s when Matthew McConaughey was still sexy, he and Sandra Bullock lived near each other in Texas and had a very serious romance. Sandra was crazy about him, but Matthew was not ready to settle down. (We actually saw them together and she couldn’t keep her hands or eyes off him.) After they split Sandra was heartbroken and doubted she’d ever find love again. But she got over him. SO over him that now they are just friends and Sandra pals around with the woman Matthew eventually married, Camila. Sandra and Camilla take their kids to the amusement park in New Orleans whenever the McConaughey family is in town. Sweet.

We wouldn’t have recognized Matthew McConaughey if his girlfriend Camila Alves wasn’t in the background cheering him on. (Has he lost weight or is it the grooming?) He’s got this new hyper -slick look because he’s promoting Dolce & Gabbana’s new aftershave “The One” in Milan. So he HAD to shave! It must be difficult to sell aftershave since guys everywhere seem to have stopped shaving.

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY’S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Matthew McConaughey is trying to do the right thing for his girlfriend Camila Alves, on her birthday. Camila, who hosts the series, “Shear Genius,” gave birth to their daughter Vida on January 3 – their son Levi is now 1 and ½. Matthew took Camila out to dinner in Malibu at the Beau Rivage restaurant and he got dressed up for the event. Earlier he gave Camila flowers and – of all things – a new memory foam mattress from Selectabed for her birthday.
