Matthew McConaughey and his wife, Brazilian Camila Alves, celebrated 12 years of love with a simple post on Instagram in which they highlighted the word “thank you.”
In 2016, in an interview he gave to People magazine, the actor revealed that for him it was love at first sight. The couple met in 2007 at a bowling alley.
“We were a group of single men having a good time.” He saw her and immediately “I wondered who she was and started trying to get her attention from my spot. After a few seconds I knew I had to cross the track and go look for her,” he said.

To avoid the risk of her saying no, instead of inviting her alone, he proposed to the entire group of women the brunette was with that she join him and his friends. The only problem of the night was the language, since she spoke only Portuguese. However, the actor assured that that night he managed to understand everything about her. “The little Spanish I know helped a lot,” he admitted.
Matthew McConaughey debuted four years ago in the literary industry as the author of his first book, Greenlights. Since then, he has done nothing but chain successes thanks to what he considers “the truest permanent extension that I have taken or created from myself.”
In the middle of last year, the work that debuted as number one in sales a few days after its launch reached one hundred weeks being part of the list of the best-selling non-fiction copies of the New York Times.
On that occasion, the bag designer appeared unexpectedly at a meeting her husband was holding to announce that the mythical Empire Building would be illuminated green in honor of Greenlights, Matthew’s book that was high on the best-seller list.
