Camila Alves & Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey met Camila Alves in 2006 at a Los Angeles nightclub when the actor was 36 and the model was 23. While it took a bit of convincing to win her over, the duo finally started dating. Three days after meeting, the actor invited Alves to his house in Malibu and cooked her dinner. From there, McConaughey shared that he wanted to go on another date with her. In 2008, they welcomed their son together, and it took them another three years to become engaged.

The couple then wed in June 2012. For the most part of the celebrity couple’s relationship, marriage was not part of their investment planning. Alves shared that their union was something they just evolved to. Three kids later, they remain happy and strong together. Alves even went as far as moving their family to Thailand so her husband could film Gold.
