Camila Alves McConaughey (née Alves; born 28 January 1982) is a Brazilian model and designer. She is married to American actor Matthew McConaughey.

Biography

Camila Alves was born in Brazil and raised there until the age of 15. Her mother is an artist and designer, and her father, a farmer. At 15, Alves traveled to Los Angeles to visit her aunt and decided to stay. After working for four years as a house-cleaner and waitress, she became fluent in English and decided to make the United States her home.

Career

At the age of 19, Alves moved to New York City to pursue a career as a fashion model. Alves and her mother design the Muxo line of handbags, developing their design after experimenting for three years with styles and designs. In 2010, Alves hosted the third season of the Bravo network reality television series Shear Genius.

In April 2012, Alves was signed on as the new face for Macy's clothing line I.N.C. International Concepts.

In January 2016, Alves launched a lifestyle website, Women of Today, that serves as a hub for her social media; livestream video program, Camila's Code; and blog posts on food, health, crafts & décor, style, family, and work life. Alves is also the co-owner of the organic food company, Yummy Spoonfuls, which launched its product line for babies and toddlers in Target's frozen food section in 2016.

She co-hosted, with Eddie Jackson, the first season of the Food Network competition show Kids BBQ Championship, which aired in summer 2016.
