Some of Camila and Matthew's sweetest moments

Matthew McConaughey Says Wife Camila Alves Pressured Him to Get Married: "Either S--t or Get Off the Pot" Alright, alright, alright already! Matthew McConaughey is known for his laid-back persona both on-screen and off, so when it came to the topic of marriage, it’s no surprise that he took his time. PHOTOS: Matthew McConaughey's hottest shirtless moments “I had to get to the point where I saw it as more than just the thing to do,” McConaughey, 44, told GQ of marriage to wife Camila Alves. “I wanted to really want to. You know, I didn’t want it to be a destination; the fun is that we’re on the adventure together. And look, some of it had to do with her putting it on me. It took her going, ‘C’mon, Big Boy, Mr. Easygoing-We’ll- Get-to-It-When-We-Get-to-It. Either s--t or get off the pot.’” PHOTOS: Longest celebrity engagements The Oscar winner married his model love, 32, in June 2012 and the couple shares three children. While he was hesitant about marriage, McConaughey has never second-guessed fatherhood. “It’s the one thing I’ve always wanted to be,” the dad of sons Levi, 6, and Livingston, 22 months, and daughter Vida, 4, told the mag. “Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. Whatever decisions you make in the first six months of becoming a father, double down on them. I mean, you're meeting the Courier. You're meeting the Shepherd, the Future Prince. You immediately have something you don't have to think about. You know what's important. Bam! And the clarity of that is like, ‘Whew.’ I definitely got more selfish. And at the same time, I think I got more compassionate, which don't always go together, you know?” PHOTOS: Most romantic movies of all time When it comes to his career, McConaughey is similarly self-assured. Though he’s transitioned into highbrow dramas in recent years, the romcom veteran has no qualms about his past hits like 2003’s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. “These things aren’t easy,” McConaughey said of romantic comedies. “What’s hard is to make them look easy. Those kinds of movies are what they are. They get pooh-poohed by critics. They get pooh-poohed by actors themselves. And in a way I get it, but in other ways it’s completely unfair.”

Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves Talk Fashion, Family and Famous Catchphrases! “Extra’s” Renee Bargh met up with Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves in Matthew’s hometown of Austin, where they opened up about life with their three kids, their Just Keep Livinfoundation, new clothing line, and revealed the meaning behind Matthew’s signature catchphrase, “Alright, alright, alright.” Matthew is not only a movie star, he’s also a big philanthropist. They’re launching the couple’s new clothing line at a pop-up shop in Austin to fund his Just Keep Livin Foundation, which supports inner city kids. Camila revealed to Renee that her husband comes up with all the slogans for the clothing line, including the hats they were both wearing with “Alright” embroidered on the front. “Those are things I’ve heard along the way that stuck with me,” said Matthew of his catchy slogans. The actor went on to explain the meaning behind his famous phrase. “They’re the first words out of my mouth in my first film (Dazed and Confused),” said Matthew. “Anytime I get up to do a speech or something and I’m nervous, if I start with ‘Alright, alright, alright,’ it’s always much smoother sailing.” Matthew and Camila’s three kids aren’t quite budding fashion designers like dad, but Matthew does say his daughter Vida could come up with some good phrases for the line. “Our daughter sure comes up with some one-liners that could be on some T-shirts, she’s a nickname giver, oh my gosh she’s good.” Some of the names she has for dad, “Tiny Dachshund, Woody Jackson, Marshmallow Sniffer.” Matthew said all the children are happy, healthy and ‘Alright, alright, alright,” but does that mean more kiddies could be coming for the couple? Camila quickly chimed in, “We’re good for now.” Matthew added, “Three’s for now." The McConaugheys help a lot of kids with their Keep Livin Foundation. Says Matthew, “We have an after-school curriculum that is in the title one city schools, high schools — there’s over 50 percent dropout rates in these schools… we give them a safe, supervised place to go after school." Giving back is also something Matthew and Camila instill in their children. Camila revealed, “We do things like, they have to give their toys and save money to help, like around Christmastime I have them save up money, and we go to the dollar store and they get to choose a bunch of gifts that they can buy with their own money.” Watch the video on : http://extratv.com/2015/04/22/matthew-mcconaughey-and-camila-alves-talk-fashion-family-and-famous-catchphrases/

31 MARCH 2015 AT 8:20 AM Jessica Chastain Celebrates 'Interstellar Live' in London Over the weekend, Jessica‘s co-starMatthew McConaughey brought his wifeCamila Alves to the 2015 New OrleansFilm Society Gala, where he was honored with the Celluloid Hero Award. “First of all what a big, beautiful mess it is. Cheers to that. I said this a few years ago. Someone said, what is New Orleans like? I said New Orleans is like a giant flashing yellow light. Proceed with caution … but proceed. It is not an overly ambitious place, and that’s being complimentary. It has a great identity, and, therefore, it doesn’t look outside itself for intrigue, evolution or labels of progress. People here are proud of their home. You’re proud of your Crescent City. You know your flavor. It is your very own. And if people want to come taste it with you, you welcome them with open arms,” Matthew shared during his acceptance speech.

You gotta kinda put it on the side to make it look a little not as nerdy, but still, practicality wins out,” the 44-year-old actor shared at the game. “I got so much gear in here that I don’t want in my pockets.” PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics ofMatthew McConaughey He added, “You know what, how many times have you been around someone and they’re like, ‘Aw, man, I forgot so and so and I gotta go back to my car.’ I got mine right here.

Matthew McConaughey's wife Camila Alves draws attention in a vibrant red blouse as she displays her slender legs in skinny jeans in New York Her husband Matthew McConaughey may be the more famous one in the relationship. But Camila Alves is certainly the one who can draw the most attention, as she showed when she stepped out alone in New York City on Tuesday. The gorgeous Brazilian model worked a striking yet simple outfit as she left an office building in Chelsea before heading to a restaurant, no doubt turning heads as she walked. he 33-year-old accentuated her long and lean legs with a pair of skintight skinny jeans. And she added to her already generous height with a pair of nude mule-style heels. But it was her vibrant red wrapover blouse that really caught the eye, sitting flatteringly on her svelte curves and adding a real summer vibe to her otherwise casual ensemble. She had styled her brunette and sunkissed locks in elegant curls, the weight of her tresses flowing loosely over her shoulders. Mrs McConaughey also carried with her a slouchy grey scarf, which she later put on around her neck despite the seasonably balmy mid-April weather. And, with little need for help in that department, she seemed to be going almost make-up free as she went about her day. After emerging from the office building, she headed for lunch at the Churrascaria Plataforma Brazilian steakhouse in the Midtown district of the Big Apple. The exotic beauty was also seen in the midst of a conversation on her phone, cutting a slightly concerned figure as she chatted to the person on the end of the line. The mum-of-three has been married to her 45-year-old Hollywood leading man since 2012, but the two good looking stars have been in a relationship since 2006. They have three kids together, seven-year-old son Levi, four-year-old daughter Vida and two-year-old son Livingston. As well as being a model, Camila is a successful designer, selling her handcrafted leather handbags for her label Muxo.

Matthew McConaughey Opens Up His Very Own Pop-Up Shop Matthew McConaughey wears his signature phrase on his hat while hosting the opening of his just keep livin pop-up shop on Friday afternoon (April 17) in Austin, Texas. The 45-year-old actor’s wife Camila Alves came out to show her support for the fun event. PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics ofMatthew McConaughey In case you didn’t know, Matthew started the just keep livin foundation to empower high school students “by providing them with the tools to lead active lives and make healthy choices for a better future.”

Matthew McConaughey Divulges the Secret to Being a Good Husband APRIL 17, 2015 @ 11:46 AMBY: KIM PEIFFER Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves are one of the cutest celebrity couples in Hollywood (have you seen their three adorable kids?), and at last night’s Mack, Jack & McConaughey(MJ&M) joint fundraising gala sponsored by Lincoln, we fell in love with them a little bit more. Why? Sure, the twosome look great together, have an adorable family, and are so laid-back and cool we can’t help but want to grab a beer with them (cue the cuteness: the couple were arm-in-arm all evening during the gala, and Alves proudly stood by her husband as he spoke on stage to the crowd and auctioned items for the cause), but they’re also extremely giving. The duo, who started the Just Keep Livin foundation dedicated to empowering high school students by providing them with the tools to lead active lives and make healthy choices, make giving back a huge part of their relationship. Last night, McConaughey spoke to InStyle about how he makes his marriage to Brazilian model Alves work so seamlessly. “Look, I’ll say this,” he says with an ear-to-ear grin. “Neither one of us have really tried to change the other one. We got into our relationship because we really admired and were turned on by who the other person was before we met them, before we got together. And we do not try to change each other. If anything, she pushes me to be more of myself and I hope I do the same for her.” As for his advice on being a good father to his kids? That’s easy: “The best thing you could probably do as a father is make sure they see how you love their mother,” he says. http://news.instyle.com/2015/04/17/matthew-mcconaughey-secret-being-good-husband/

Camila Alves' go-to breakfast? Eggs with all kinds of savory goodness What would happen if you didn't get your morning coffee? I can't drink coffee. It gives me the shakes, but I love ginger tea. It wakes me up just enough but it just kind of grounds me. Ginger Aid is the one that I drink. If I didn't have it, I just kind of get a little all over the place. How often do you hit the snooze button? I can't hit the snooze button. I'm not allowed to do that with kids. I did this morning though twice because I don't have the kids. What would you say if you had to give yourself a pep talk in the morning? I don't really do pep talks, but every time I get the kids to school on time, I'm like 'You did it!' I high five myself. 2 hours ago Randee Dawn Amy Eley TODAY When it comes to breakfast, Brazilian model (and wife of Matthew McConaughey) Camila Alves is not about side dishes — she's happy to mix her eggs with all kinds of ingredients! Before Alves demonstrated her favorite weeknight dinners Wednesday morning, TODAY made sure the mom of three had her go-to breakfast to nosh on as part of our new #BreakfastTODAY series. TODAY: How do you like your eggs? Camila Alves: Scrambled with green olives, spinach and bacon added in. I have the olives because I love salty stuff. I have the spinach in there because you need nutrients, and cooking the bacon and then adding it helps get rid of some of the grease, I think. Who's your ideal breakfast buddy? My family. If it's on the weekend, we do a big breakfast. But if it's during the week, we gotta eat and we gotta go. What's one of your go-to breakfasts for the kids (she and McConaughey have three under age 10) during the week? The kids love when I do flat eggs. Get an egg and cook it one side, flip it over, smash it down and there it is.

Camila McConaughey Hangs Out In NYC With The Kids

A FUN EASTER TABLE! When I’m entertaining outside and kids are involved, I like to use paper napkins. To make them a little more fancy and festive, in this case I use colored ribbons and different colored flowers that I tuck under the bows. To make sure they don’t fly away, put the fork on one corner of the napkin. TABLE-TOP DECOR Here, I used glass bowls filled with water and added rubber duckies inside and little flower arrangements with bunny Peeps. For the Peep flower arrangement, I used one larger glass vase with a smaller glass vase inside. I lined the Peeps between the two vases, and filled the inside vase with water and fresh cut flowers. I used artificial grass and white candy melts to make the road. For the race cars, I used Twinkies, with Oreos for the wheels, and added little flags on the back that had the names of the kids. On the next group, I will show you an even easier version for the Twinkie race cars. EDIBLE EASTER RACE CARS This is another version of the edible race car above. On the Twinkie, you cut a hole large enough for a bunny Peep. Place the bunny Peep inside, gently pressing. Cut regular size marshmallows in half, each half will be one wheel. Press the pretzel upside-down into the Twinkie and you’re ready to go. I also found this cute little flag post at a craft store and the greens are edible grass I found at Walgreens. A PEEP CENTERPIECE This can be a wreath, a centerpiece or a decoration for the outside of the house on Easter day! You will need: Styrofoam circle Pink Peeps Yellow Peeps Blue Peeps One box of toothpicks All you need to do is break your toothpicks in half, place them in the Styrofoam circle and press the Peeps into the half toothpicks. When you get to the yellow and blue Peeps toward the center, you most likely will need to use the whole toothpick to create height. You can use this many different ways. Here I used a wooden spoon and gently pushed the handle of the spoon into the Styrofoam circle. I placed the wooden spoon into a basket I filled with sand. The handle of the basket helped to give support to the back of the “wreath.” On Easter…you can even decorate your yard for the egg hunting! Tip: If you’re going to plan on eating this decoration, make it the day of your party. WATERMELON BUNNY FRUIT BASKET This is a fun way to display your fruits at your Easter party! The easiest way to do this: with a smaller sharp knife, trace the design of the bunny on the top of your watermelon. Then cut it with a larger knife, starting at the back of the watermelon. Use toothpicks in the place of the eyes. Stick large blueberries on them. Using the watermelon that you removed, cut three long thin strips off the rind to create the “whiskers.” Place a toothpick vertically in the middle of the three whiskers and then insert a toothpick perpendicularly between the whiskers and into the watermelon, leaving a bit of the toothpick showing. Cut a round piece of the watermelon you removed and top the raw edge of the toothpick to create the “nose.” Make sure to remove enough watermelon from the inside so you will create a fruit basket. Fill with fruit of your choice; for this one I added berries. Tip: A great way to use the watermelon you removed is to make fresh watermelon mint juice. BUNNIES AND MILK It’s a fun little twist on cookies and milk, perfect on Easter morning with your kids or for a dessert after your brunch. You can use your favorite cookie recipe or purchase the sheets of cookie dough at the supermarket in the dairy case. Roll your dough and trace the ear outline with a sharp knife then cut a slit in the bottom where the ears will attach to the glass. Please make sure to leave enough width in the slit and that the slit is long enough to fit on the rim of the glass so the cookie won’t break. On an empty glass, try to make your best impression of a bunny with a Sharpie. Then fill glass with milk, attach your cookies to the rim and you’re good to go. Tip: If you have trouble with the cookies standing up, attach a regular size marshmallow behind the cookie and that will do the job. LOLLIPOP GARDEN Have your kids plant jelly beans and watch what happens the morning after! Fun thing to do with the kids, have them plant jelly beans the night before Easter before they go to bed and in the morning, they wake up to lollipops where the jelly beans were seeds. Grown ups: Your job here will be before the kids wake up, you will need to remove the jelly beans and replace lollipops where the jelly beans were planted. Stick the lollipops in the ground like flowers. It is such a simple thing to do, but the kids absolutely love it!

Plus, I get more inspirations from you for next year! Kisses, Camila EELING THE BLUES FOR EASTER! Not sure why I am into the blues for this Easter. On this table, I used different colored beverage bottles that I found at a craft store and decorated them with flower stickers. In the above picture, I added ribbons. They make great candle holders and give your table height. A fun way to doozie-up your napkins is to fold them into bunny shapes. You can search online for tutorial videos. A great way to add dimension and height to your table is to use your cake stand as a setup for your flower arrangements. On this setup I used a larger cake stand on the bottom and a smaller one on top. I covered both levels with small mason jars filled with flowers. For this setup, I bought blue candles, napkins and place mats from Target. The nests are from a craft store. I used raffia to tie the napkins, then added baby blue flowers to the nests — your table is set. A great way to make your table setting more special is to add a little fresh flowers tucked under your napkin bow. AN EASTER CAKE Make a store-bought cake look fancy and homemade with no trouble. I got my inspiration from The Cake Blog (thank you). When you don’t have time to make a cake from scratch, you can run to the store and purchase a store-bought cake. You will need: White frosting Blue food coloring Vanilla extract Cocoa powder You have two options: you can purchase a plain cake without frosting, or, if your cake has frosting and designs, leave the frosting and remove any designs so you have a flat cake surface and place in the freezer until the frosting begin to harden. Then all you have to do is make the white frosting that you purchased into the desired blue tone by adding the blue food coloring SLOWLY. Cover the cake with the new frosting. If you have an offset spatula, it works great. To help smooth the frosting, run the spatula under warm water and then pat dry. Add decorations to the top of your frosted cake. In a small cup, mix 1 ½ tsp. of vanilla extract with 1 tbsp. cocoa powder. Using any little brush — like a kid’s painting brush or a makeup brush — dip the brush into the cocoa mixture and flick the brush bristles towards the cake until you achieve the marble effect. Now, I am warning you, this will get messy! But it is well worth it.

Happy #Easter everyone…Hope you are celebrating this special time!

It's ‪#‎Easter‬ week and I'm getting in the groove! The light color is actually Easter Blue!
