McConaughey Digs Being a Dad

Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey hope that their son Levi will be a "little cooler" than they are. OK! Matthew McConaughey and his Brazilian girlfriend Camila Alves became parents on July 7 when they welcomed Levi Alves McConaughey into the world. In the new issue of OK! magazine, the laid-back couple shows off their beautiful baby boy for the very first time. During the interview, Matthew was still wearing his ID bracelet from the hospital. Who knew the surfer dude, who also kept a detailed diary of Levi's birth, was so sentimental?

McConaughey recalls that When Camila went into labor, she had planned on giving birth naturally. "Contractions started kicking in, and we found a great rhythm," he shares. "I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it. We danced to it. I was DJing this native Brazilian music." After 14 hours, Camila finally had to ask for an epidural. But was it the pain of child birth that finally got to her, or her boyfriend's dancing?

Regardless, Matthew definitely seems stoked to be a father. "Becoming a dad is something I've dreamed of doing since I was 10," he reveals.
