Early life

She was raised by her mother, an artist and designer, and her father, a farmer. Alves arrived in Los Angeles at the age of fifteen to visit her aunt, and stayed. After working for four years as a house-cleaner and waitress, she successfully learned English and decided to make the United States her home.[5]

At the age of 19, Alves moved to New York to pursue a career as a fashion model.[6] Alves and her mother design the Muxo line of handbags,[7] which were conceived after experimenting for three years with styles and designs.[8] In 2010, Alves hosted the Bravo network's third season of its reality television show Shear Genius.[9]

In April 2012, Alves was signed on as the new face for Macy's clothing line "I.N.C. International Concepts".[10] In January 2016, Alves launched a lifestyle website, Women of Today, that serves as a hub for her social media, live stream video program Camila's Code and blog posts on food, family, health, fashion, beauty and crafts. [11]

Alves met American actor Matthew McConaughey in 2007.[12] The couple became engaged on Christmas Day 2011,[13] and were married on June 9, 2012 in Austin, Texas, where they reside.[2] They have three children: son Levi (born July 7, 2008),[14] daughter Vida (born January 3, 2010)[15] and son Livingston (born December 28, 2012).[16] On August 4, 2015, Alves became a U.S. citizen, in the same ceremony as Emily Blunt.[17] [18]
