Matthew McConaughey forgets wedding anniversary with Camila Alves, as the longtime couple openly discussed their forgetfulness in a recent social media video. Marking over a decade since their Austin, Texas wedding, the pair revealed how even significant milestones can slip their minds, choosing instead to focus on the meaning behind the date.
Anniversary Memories Take a Backseat
Followers learned of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’ anniversary lapse after the actor posted an Access Hollywood segment to Instagram. In it, both were congratulated on thirteen years of marriage, yet neither seemed quite sure of the anniversary. Alves admitted,
Oops, we just had one of those moments again,
—Camila Alves. This honest exchange highlighted their tendency to mix up the special date.
McConaughey explained their ongoing forgetfulness:
This joke has happened many times before and we don’t mean for it to happen, but for whatever reason, Camila and I never remember our anniversary,
—Matthew McConaughey. He added with a sense of humor,
We’ve been busted in many a red carpet line.
—Matthew McConaughey.
The Family Behind the Headlines
Matthew and Camila, who married in 2012 in Austin, are parents to three children: Levi, Vida, and Livingston. Their children, born in 2008, 2010, and 2012, often stay out of the public eye. However, the family made a rare appearance earlier this year. In April, they attended the 13th annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala, the first time in a year the entire family walked a red carpet together.
McConaughey co-founded the gala’s hosting organization with Mack Brown and Jack Ingram. The charitable venture has raised over $61 million, supporting causes dedicated to children’s education, health, and wellness. This commitment reflects the couple‘s focus beyond Hollywood, spotlighting their advocacy for children’s opportunities.
Levi McConaughey’s Onscreen Debut and Fatherly Guidance
Their eldest son Levi is about to embark on his own acting journey, teaming up with Chris Pratt for the film “Way of the Warrior Kid.” Levi’s red carpet interview with People Magazine revealed his appreciation for fatherly wisdom. He shared,
I mean, he gave me a lot of advice, and he was able to mentor me in a couple different ways,
—Levi McConaughey, and further recalled:
But I’d say the main thing for acting—and, pardon my French—is no bullshit in your bones and own what you’re doing and make a choice regardless if that ends up being the right one or the wrong one. Commit to it, and know what you’re saying.
—Levi McConaughey.
Why This Revealed Moment Resonates
McConaughey and Alves’ candid admission about missing their anniversary strikes a relatable chord for many couples—reminding fans that even those in the spotlight wrestle with day-to-day moments. Their openness also sheds light on their real priorities: family, charity, and meaning over formality. With Levi preparing to follow in his father’s footsteps and the couple’s continued work in the community, the McConaughey family shows how genuine connections matter more than remembering every date.
