Matthew McConaughey made a rare red carpet appearance with his entire family this week.
The A-list actor, 55, was joined by his wife Camila Alves, 42, and their three kids — Levi, 16, Vida, 15, and Livingston, 12 — at the 2025 Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala in Austin, Texas.
The annual gala is a ‘joint fundraising effort’ between McConaughey, country singer Jack Ingram and legendary football coach Mack Brown.
‘The two-day fun-filled event offers music, golf and fashion benefiting select non-profit organizations that each reflect the MJ&M goal to empower kids,’ the official website reads.
MJ&M has donated over $61 million to children’s charities since its 2012 inception.
And McConaughey looked happy to have Camila and their children by his side as he celebrated the event’s 13th year.

After years of living in Los Angeles as a famous actor, McConaughey moved back to his home state of Texas with his family in 2014.
The move was partially born out of McConaughey’s desperation to no longer be Hollywood’s ‘rom-com dude.’ He ‘stopped’ taking roles and relocated to a ranch in Austin.
‘I was so strong in that lane that anything outside of that lane, dramas and stuff that I wanted to do, were like, no, no, no, no, no McConaughey. Hollywood said no, no, no, no, you should stay there, stay there,’ he recently revealed on a November 2024 episode of the Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios podcast.
‘I didn’t want to. So, since I couldn’t do what I wanted to do, I stopped doing what I was doing.
‘I went down [to Texas] and I made a pact with my wife and said, “I’m not going back to work unless I get offered roles I want to do.”‘
After what he described as a few ‘wobbly’ years, McConaughey’s major career move eventually paid off and he won his first Academy Award for Dallas Buyers Club in 2014.
McConaughey’s Texas relocation was also necessary for his family life with wife Camila.
The Lone Star State native and his spouse exchanged vows at their home in Austin, Texas on June 9, 2012, and officially moved back there (from Malibu, California) two years later.

Last year, McConaughey shared on TODAY that life in Austin offers his family a sense of ‘security’ and that always intended to return to Texas once he welcomed children with Alves.
‘This has always been home, I mean, there’s multiple reasons for [the move]. I mean, this is where I have a great relationship with time – meaning 60 seconds feels like a minute, a mile feels like a mile,’ he explained to the hosts.
He added, ‘I like to live in a place and for a home to be a place where I have a good relationship with time.’
The Dallas Buyers Club star noted that his family is based out of Texas, including his mother, 92, and brothers who live in Houston and Midland.
‘Our family unit is here – we have resources and a backbone of security here,’ The Lincoln Lawyer actor added.
‘I wanted them to have what I grew up around,’ McConaughey said. ‘There’s a solid … amount of common sense that runs through it, it’s untalked about, but we understand it here.’
He hailed Austin as a ‘very creative city in a state that is very structured,’ and one where people are accepted for who they are.
McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, Texas and raised in Longview, Texas, went to college at the University of Texas at Austin prior to entering show business.
He remains an ardent fan of the school’s football team, the Texas Longhorns, often appearing on sidelines at games.

‘The rule in Austin is “Be You” – that’s always been the rule in this city – and we should make sure that that remains the rule – just “Be You,”‘ he said.
In a joint interview for Southern Living earlier this year, McConaughey and Alves shared that although they were living a ‘happy life’ in Malibu, Texas offered them a lifestyle with no ‘drama’ and more ‘hospitality.’
Alves said that she knew deep down that McConaughey wanted to move back to Texas after she witnessed firsthand how ‘peaceful’ he was while he was there.
McConaughey said that living in Texas has brought ‘ritual’ back to their family life.
‘Ritual came back, whether that was Sunday church, sports, dinner together as a family every night, or staying up after that telling stories in the kitchen, sitting at the island pouring drinks and nibbling while retelling them all in different ways than we told them before,’ he explained.
