Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves to Marry this Weekend in Texas
Despite previous reports, it is now rumored that actor Matthew McConaughey will marry longtime sweetheart Camila Alves in Texas this weekend.
We reported earlier that McConaughey popped the question on Christmas Day to 5-year girlfriend and mother of his two children, Camila Alves. Early reports suggested that the couple would plan an extensive wedding in Alves’ home country, Brazil. “Camila wants to get married in Brazil with her family all around,” reported Life & Style. “She misses the food and the people there, so she’s planning a big, beautiful Brazilian wedding.”
New reports seem to suggest that the 29-year-old Brazilian model and TV presenter has changed her mind, and a speedy wedding is on its way, to take place this coming weekend. Sources tell E! that the couple are tying the knot in a “weekend affair” in McConaughey’s home state of Texas.
Alves was supposed to be honored today by the Step Up Women’s Network in Beverly Hills, but is apparently going to teleconference the event so that she can stay home to make wedding preparations. The two are aiming for an intimate ceremony, having reportedly only invited about two-dozen close friends and family to there. The workers at the wedding have also signed non-disclosure agreements, but where there’s smoke there’s fire. Looks like this thing is for real.
Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey to Wed in Brazil
On Christmas Day, Matthew McConaughey announced that he planned to wed girlfriend of five years and mother of his two children, 29-year-old Brazilian model and TV presenter Camila Alves.
Alves and McConaughey, 44, are parents to 3-year-old Levi and 1-year-old Vida. After the Christmas proposal, McConaughey told his fans via the internet that he “just asked Camila to marry [him.] Merry Christmas.”
While the couple languished in dating land for a few years, it appears that just a week and a half after the proposal, wedding planning could be well underway. An unnamed source told Life & Style that the pair planned to wed in Brazil, perhaps lavishly:
“Camila wants to get married in Brazil with her family all around. She misses the food and the people there, so she’s planning a big, beautiful Brazilian wedding.”
The friend also indicated that Alves has been eager for McConaughey to pop the question, saying:
“She’s been asking Mateo to put a ring on it forever. She’s so happy. It’s like a dream!”
The progression of events seems to mirror McConaughey’s roles- in which he is almost always cast as a romantic-comedy heartbreaker and commitmentphobe- but in March, the actor spoke of permanence and making a home in the men’s magazine Esquire. He waxed:
“Before this, I had a super home in the Hollywood Hills that I did by myself — landscaping, detailing pretty much everything. But that house was mine. And yeah, we coulda gone in there right away. Camila would have said, ‘Fine, don’t change a thing.’”
He continues:
“But I thought, I found the woman I wanna do it with, the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together. She needs to have 50 percent of that. I mean, it’s a lot easier for me to be at 100 percent. I’d always been 100 percent. It’s braver for me at 50 percent.”
Olivia Culpo’s Miss USA victory is a tribute to sensitivity
Beauty pageants provoke mixed reactions in New England. They’re too pretentious, too garish, too objectifying of their contestants. Mothers in Savannah may put makeup on their little girls and push them down the runway, but in Boston, not so much.
Boston University student Olivia Culpo’s victory in Sunday’s Miss USA pageant may prompt some New Englanders to give these competitions, or at least their contestants, another look. Culpo, a Rhode Island native, is not only an accomplished cellist and talented university student; she won the pageant, in part, based on her shrewd and magnanimous answer to the question of whether it would be fair for a transgender contestant to win Miss USA.
“I do think that that would be fair, but I can understand that people be a little apprehensive to take that road because there’s a tradition of natural-born women,” she replied. “But today where there are so many surgeries and so many people out there who have a need to change for a happier life, I do accept that because it’s a free country.”
Culpo’s victory was for more than good looks; it was for common sense and dignity.
