"The only thing I ever knew I wanted to be was a father," McConaughey toldMatthew McConaughey’s Kids: Inside the Family Life of a Hollywood Star in October 2020. "And it's remained the pinnacle for me. Being a dad was always my only dream ... I can't think of anything being more important."

Vida Alves McConaughey
Vida, the middle child, was born on January 3, 2010, and has a creative spirit that shines through in her artwork. "Vida really likes to paint and draw and loves graphic novels," McConaughey shared with PEOPLE.
Vida has also started exploring acting, earning her first credit in 2021 with a small role in her father’s movie, Sing 2. Following in her dad's footsteps, she has begun to discover her artistic voice while balancing her passion for visual arts.
Livingston Alves McConaughey
The youngest of the family, Livingston, was born on December 28, 2012. Though still young, Livingston has shown an interest in storytelling and writing. In an interview, McConaughey revealed that his youngest often comes to share his progress: "Our youngest one will come fill us in: 'Oh, I'm on chapter two.'"
Livingston and his siblings have developed a knack for storytelling, a skill their father believes adds richness to their family life. "Having children I know has made me a better artist and has made me a better actor because kids see things for the first time all the time," McConaughey said, citing his experience on HBO's True Detective.
Balancing Fame and Family
Despite McConaughey’s high-profile career, the family keeps a low profile, focusing on maintaining a sense of normalcy. Camila Alves has emphasized the importance of teaching their children about humility and the value of giving back.
