about this couple's lovely union.
Their Family's Dynamic
Despite his reputation for being romantic in many of his movies,
McConaughey has been sure to apply same attitude to his marriage to
Brazilian model and fashion designer Alves. McConaughey appears to have no
lack of kind remarks to make about his wife. According to E! News, he has
referred to Alves as an extraterrestrial creature and has also called her
elegant, lovely, and self-assured.
McConaughey has made a point of praising his wife and their marriage on
several occasions, and it is obvious that they have a mutual affection for
one another. Alves discussed her connection with McConaughey in an interview
with People in 2012. She never anticipated getting married, which is
surprising since she has learned to cherish every second spent with her
family.
The most important thing, according to Alves, is to ensure that our house
is tranquil, healthy, and that the children well behaved. "Until I
experienced the ceremony, I didn't realize how significant and genuinely
meaningful (the wedding) was."
Fortunately, the family's desired home dynamic seems to be a reality as
both parents have managed to strike a wonderful balance between providing
for one another and their kids. On Fridays, the kids are permitted to remain
up until the wee hours of the morning, but they are nevertheless taught
right from wrong because to McConaughey's ability to blend strict guidelines
with the carefree attitude for which he is well known. He told People that
he is happy to have three healthy children and that they are all extremely
distinctive individuals, perhaps as a result of their ancestry with
Alves.
A Touch of Romance
The actor also discussed how his wife and he have distinct parenting
philosophies but have the same moral principles. According to McConaughey, a
child's natural sense of morality will always be at the center of who they
are and that the function of discipline and moral instruction in parenting
can only go so far.
The pair revealed further information about their marriage in 2014. Us
Weekly claims that although it wasn't love at first sight for Alves, it was
for McConaughey. Thankfully, they gave it a try, and they've been married
for 15 years now. Alves made fun of McConaughey's portrayal of a real-life
romance in a romantic comedy when he said:
"It's amusing because people have this perception of him as being loving
and passionate based on how they see him onscreen or in public. Simply
snatches you and gives you a passionate kiss. And sometimes I wonder, "Who
is this guy? Can you embody it just a little bit?" Can we bring that person
home for a short while, I wonder sometimes."
Fortunately, it seems that McConaughey has taken great care to demonstrate
how romantic he is. In an interview with TODAY in 2018, McConaughey said
that he takes a low-key approach to romance in his marriage and prefers not
to purchase his wife expensive presents. I don't have a specific item I
purchase her, he said. "A sincere handwritten message that she knows I took
the time to sit down and write and has some poetry to it is worth more than
whatever retail I spent for things," I said.
