Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves recently made a rare appearance with their three kids at the 2024 Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala at ACL Live in Austin, Texas.
Levi, 15, Vida, 14, and Livingston, 11 brought their A-game on the red carpet with their parents. The charitable event occurred on Thursday, April 25, serving as a cornerstone of an annual fundraising drive benefitting numerous children’s organizations. It was spearheaded by McConaughey alongside country singer Jack Ingram and renowned football coach Mack Brown.
McConaughey looked sleek in a navy blue suit paired with a white button-down, while Alves turned heads in an elegant off-the-shoulder black gown. For the kid’s parts, the two boys, Levi and Livingston, wore matching black suits and Vida wore a flowy light-pink gown.

The last appearance they made as a family was in December 2021, when they attended the Los Angeles premiere of Sing 2, where McConaughey starred as the voice of the koala Buster Moon.
The couple have been married since 2012. In July 2022, Alves opened up about raising teenagers. “You know, it’s interesting because when you have little ones, you are physically exhausted, right? And I feel like when you get to the teenagers … it’s almost like you need more energy,” she told Us Weekly.
She continued: “You need more brain power because it becomes all very about the mind, right? It’s like a teenager [is] trying to find their identity and find how they’re going to navigate their lives. So I think that … for me, it’s more challenging in a good way.”
The model also spoke about how watching her kids grow into young adults is “beautiful and inspiring.”
