Matthew McConaughey joins the celebrity baby boom as he announced on his website today that he and girlfriend Camila Alves are expecting their first child.
"My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together," McConaughey posted. "It's 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far. We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life."
He also wrote: "Wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution. Thanks for being fans of me and my work and now this new and miraculous chapter in my life, as me and Camila and our child do our best to just keep living."
McConaughey, 38, and Alves, a 24-year-old Brazilian model, met more than a year ago and have been dating since.
A longtime friend of the actor, Mark Gustawes, said the couple is "incredible happy."
"In my opinion, the child will be raised with more love than it knows what to do with," Gustawes added.
