Matthew McConaughey recently opened up about a unique experience that ultimately led him to his happy marriage with Brazilian-American model and designer Camila Alves. The 56-year-old Hollywood star credited a bizarre "wet dream" for guiding him towards the perfect woman and creating an idyllic home life.
It all started in 2006 when the two first met in a Los Angeles nightclub. McConaughey was working as a bartender at the time and was immediately captivated by Camila's presence as she moved gracefully across the club. He recalls thinking to himself, "What is that?" rather than "Who is that?" as he was struck by her beauty. Since that first encounter, the actor has only had eyes for Camila and has been happily married to her since 2012.
The couple now shares three children together - 17-year-old son Levi, 15-year-old daughter Vida, and 12-year-old son Livingston. However, it was a wet dream that McConaughey had in his thirties that ultimately led him to Camila. In his latest newsletter, Lyrics of Livin', the actor reflected on his bachelor days and how he was searching for a lifetime lover, best friend, and mother-to-be. But then, he had a life-changing dream.
In the dream, McConaughey found himself celebrating his 88th birthday surrounded by 88 children and 22 women, who he had fathered the children with. Each woman was serene and satisfied, while the children were happy and healthy. They all gathered for a family photo, and as they counted down, the actor woke up.
To him, this dream was a spiritual sign to stop searching for the perfect woman and to let the natural selection process take its course. And soon after, he met Camila. It was only three months later that he met her, and twenty years later, she remains the only woman he has ever wanted to date, sleep with, and wake up next to.
In 2011, after welcoming two children together, McConaughey proposed to Camila on Christmas Day. He hid the rose-cut Cathy Waterman ring within several boxes of varying sizes, making her unwrap them one by one until she finally reached the ring. And thankfully, she said yes.
Since tying the knot, the couple has been inseparable, never spending more than nine days apart. And when it comes to their marriage, the actor credits the size of their bed for keeping the spark alive. He joked about how their king-size bed was too big, and they had to switch to a queen-size to stay close to each other. But in all seriousness, he believes that a smaller bed can be beneficial for a marriage.
It's clear that McConaughey and Camila share a strong and loving relationship, and they continue to make each other a priority in their lives. And the actor couldn't be happier to have found the perfect woman for him, thanks to a dream that guided him in the right direction.
