It was certainly a Merry Christmas for Matthew McConaughey, 42, who chose the day to propose to his long-time girlfriend, model Camila Alves.
McConaughey, who recently shaved off his blonde locks, announced the news via his WhoSay and Twitter accounts.
“Just asked camila to marry me,” he wrote in a post. “Merry Christmas.”
The pair have two children together Levi, 3, and Vida, who turns 2 in January. McConaughey has always let it be known that he always planned to be with Alves, telling People Magazine in 2008 that she was the one for him.
“I always wanted to be a father,” he said. “It just took the right woman and the right time to make it happen.”
“[Alves] is the love of my life. Everything is right.”
