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.”

No word on when the nuptials could occur.

Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend, Camila Alves, had a very special Christmas last night. The actor popped the question to the Brazilian model last night while the two, who have been dating for five years and have two children together, celebrated Christmas.

McConaughey posted the news on his Whosays account. The actor posted a picture of him and Camilia kissing in front of a Christmas tree with the message “just asked Camila to marry me. Merry Christmas.”

McConaughey fans have been expecting to hear wedding bells for a while. Last March, the actor told Esquire Magazine that he knew Camila was “the one.” He said:

“I found the woman I wanna do it with, the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together.”

McConaughey, 42, and Alves, 28, have been dating since 2006. They have two children together; Levi, 3, and Vida, 1. When Levi was born, the actor tole People Magazine:

“I always wanted to be a father. It just took the right woman and the right time to make it happen. [Alves] is the love of my life. Everything is right.”

“When Camila launched Muxo in August last year she told us she was ready for hard work and was going to do all she could to promote the line,” a Kitson rep told Pop Tarts, adding “But she hasn’t even been into the store once since and we can’t even get in contact with her.”

Kitson says that they purchased $50,000 worth of handcrafted bags and still have half in stock. They are currently marked down 50%, reports FOX, and even a free “Surfer, Dude” DVD can’t influence buyers. . . gee, I wonder why.

“The price point is ridiculous; she can’t compete with Gucci and Louis Vuitton if she’s not going to even promote it. Camila also promised to build a Muxo diaper bag but never delivered,” the Kitson rep continued.

Even after fellow Brazilian Bettina Duncan defended the Muxo line and claimed that it was selling well in her Fred Segal “Fashion Laboratory,” Kitson shot back “Why buy at Bettina when you can buy the same bag at Kitson for 60 percent off? How many bags have they really sold, in this economy no one wants to be seen showing off a luxury handbag. An inside source was at the recent Muxo trunk show at Fred Segal and no one bought a bag.”

It’s fashion WAR!

I didn’t know that I could get shocked from the usual “Exclusive [Insert Celebrity Here] Baby Pics” until Matthew McConaughey started in on the crazy for his OK! interview along with Camila Alves.

Besides showing off for pose-y, Photoshop-y pics, Matthew let us in on what the birthing process was like (“bloody, pukey, sweaty” and “wild”) and then got down to the details on discovering that the two had had a boy:

“I said, ‘Come here, little man.’ I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],’ Matthew said.”

“Pecker”?! Seriously?

Matthew McConaughey Obviously Going Through “Dad Shock” is a post from: The Inquisitr

Matthew McConaughey is a dad now, which I can only imagine thrills him to no end. He’s going to be embarking on a journey that will probably involve lots of football throwing, lookin’ sweaty, and generally being sporty. Matthew’s definitely a “guy’s guy,” and having a boy around the house sounds perfect.

Camila’s and Matthew’s baby, named Levi, was born at 6:22 p.m. yesterday (Monday) in Los Angeles, weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces. A source close to the two told PEOPLE the unsurprising news that “They’re so happy!”

It’s no secret that Matthew’s likes a good party, and that he spent time in June away from so-pregnant-she’ll-burst-any-second girlfriend Camila Alves. But was his revealing letter to the Daily News really that necessary? We get it. You’re a hard-core l-i-v-i-n’ party animal, and eminent fatherhood by d*mned, he’s got to enjoy life to the fullest:

“‘Drunk?’ he told us via e-mail. ‘Absolutely. Nicaragua is a beautiful place, epic waves, the best surfing I have ever been on. And yes, I’m STILL looking for my left flip-flop. So if anyone finds it floating around down there (it has 6:22 stitched into the side), please send it my way. There is a reward.’

Talk about rubbing it in Camila’s face. . . considering that Matthew may have also been trying to hit on anything in a skirt. I think that his missing flip-flop will be the least of his worries!
