Brazilian beauty Camilla Alves is noted for her modeling career, but she has been thrust into the limelight most recently for her relationship with noted actor and Hollywood A-lister Matthew McConaughey.
Camilla Alves was born January 28, 1982 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Standing at 5 feet and 10 inches, Alves utilized her distinctive looks and her slim physique to enter the world of professional modeling.
And even though Alves enjoys a lot of success through that professional avenue, it is only recently that she has become the topic of online gossip blogs and magazines alike.
It was confirmed on McConaughey’s official website that the couple are indeed expecting their first child together.
As of mid-January, Alves is said to be about three months pregnant.
Further stirring the rumor pot, Alves has been spotted wearing a ring on her left ring finger that looks suspiciously like an engagement band. There is no confirmation from either camp, however, on the marriage question.
Confusing the issue, McConaughey has been vocal in the past on the general issue of marriage, stating that he believes in the institution but does not consider it a necessity. “A kid just needs a mom and a dad,” McConaughey stated in a recent issue of Hugh Hefner’s famous mag, Playboy.
The happy news doesn’t come as too large of a shock, however, for those that have followed the couple’s history. Alves is the only girl to finally get McConaughey, long considered a lifetime bachelor, to clean up his famous “bachelor pad,” which was little more than a trailer situated on the beach. In an uncharacteristic move, McConaughey even made a public statement that he would sell his trailer and purchase a spacious mansion for Alves.
With Alves’ personal life looking up, it remains to be seen if her professional life will receive a similar boost from all the attention. She may just join the ranks of fellow Brazilian models Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, and Isabeli Fontana to become one of the most famous faces in modeling.
After much media interest during her pregnancy due to Matthew playing away from home and clubbing with friends, both male and female, Camila finally gave birth the the little boy that will now hopefully help tame his daddy, McConaughey.
The baby was born on July 8th 2008 in Los Angeles.
