Fact Or Fiction: Matthew McConaughey And Camilla Alves Getting Married
JUL 16, 2009 AT 05:51 PM
I would buy this. Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves are such a great couple together! And they already have one child plus another one on the way...so why not? :)
A source told The National Enquirer Magazine: “Camila was fine
about not being married when they had their first child, son Levi, a
year ago, but she wants a ring on her finger before their next baby
arrives.”He immediately agreed to Camila’s request. Having his son has changed his priorities in life.”
Another spy said: “Matthew’s been with Camila for more than two
years and by January he’s going to be a dad for the second time. He
feels it’s time to give up bachelorhood.
So what do you think...Fact or Fiction?

Sure hope it's fact. Hollywood has sort of glorified illegitimate children and that is just wrong, wrong, wrong!

Would you mind explaining why you agree? I'm honestly curious about the idea of "illegitimate" children and why people don't agree with having children out of wedlock.

me too, i mean the idea of "illegitimate" children seems so archaic to me. these two are basically married for all intents and purposes, all they're missing is the piece of paper. if making it official makes them happy then good for them.

That piece of paper makes men legally responsible for their children. It makes them have to pay for their needs: food, clothing, medical etc. Without that paper, it is easy for men to walk away from their responsibilities. Agree or not it is the way our society works. Without that piece of paper men can walk away and leave the baby-mamas pennyless, homeless, without medical or dental coverage, etc. With that piece of paper you can have a court demand responsibility if they decide to leave. Unless, you are legally a family, many jobs won't offer insurance coverage. Unless you are legally a family, you cannot be admitted into ICU to be with a sick loved one. There are many ramifications.
Very well said, C.! Agree with you 100%. This country's morals has gone to hell in a hand basket.
Again with the morals! sheesh. Back in the day was when this country had real moral. slavery, no social rights or legal rights for women. Those were the good old days. I mean you could lynch a black man if you needed to, right? Kids these day just don't have the type of solid Christian values that our founding fathers espoused.
Just because there are morals doesn't mean that every person lives by them. You named situations in which morals were not present so what point are you trying to prove? The moral outlook of people has not improved so yes the country is going to hell in a handbasket.

You can get child support whether you're married or not, plus women are able to get jobs too...it's not like it's only men who can afford houses and jobs that have medical coverage.....

Read my posts below. Sounds simple but it isn't. Someone actually has to raise the kids. You can't be 2 places at once. To earn the income required to raise children alone you must have a very good job. That usually means alot of responsibility and that means the job usually comes 1st. Therefore, the kids suffer and usually the kids are shuffled off to be raised by a stranger and the single parents visit for a couple of hours a day.....less than an ideal childhood wouldn't you agree?

How romantic.....NOT! Are men ever going to be real men again? He's going to give up bachelorhood??? How bout starting to be a man? Time to grow up. It is not all about you Matthew. Show your son how to be a real man and stand by and commit to his mother....what a concept!

As I understand it, he and Camilla live together with their son. I'm not really sure how that qualifies as being a "bachelor" anymore anyway. They're functionally married, it doesn't seem like a big deal either way.

I hope it's true, if that is what they both want. A ring on the finger doesn't necessarily make them any more committed. Men can be jerks either way. And women can too.
Why does she keep getting pregnant? Trying to keep him or what? Accidents don't happen when you're her age.

Who says this one was an accident?
yeah I doubt this one. I'll be surprised if it does end up being true.
so two kids make a difference in being married then one? Really? If it was that important to be married would you have done so before the first one?
While I agree marrige is good, you can get a childsupport legally if you take them to court. I know some woman who was married to the man but didn't get child support because the man don't want his reposniblities and disapeared.

Without a marriage, upon breaking up you are not entitled to any property, spousal support, insurance coverage, pension benefits, etc. If you have been home giving birth and raising children, you get nothing without a legal marriage. So, unless you are independently wealthy, you will be screwed while he will carry on and take his money with him. NOT smart! It is hard enough and expensive even with a marriage license to get an equitable settlement during divorce. It is harder to get child support without a marriage too. You may have to jump through hoops to prove paternity which will cost you money. He will argue that they aren't his. Yes, there are deadbeat dads with and without a license but you have more rights with a marriage license. Children are assumed to be part of a marriage if born during a marriage. Having been married, agencies are more likely to help track down deadbeats. You are not even entitled to get information regarding insurance benefits if you aren't married. There are strict privacy laws. This is especially difficult if you have children together. Not being married usually benefits the man while the woman gets screwed. Why do you think the gay and lesbian community is fighting for the right to marry? They want the legal protection and rights a marriage provides. You also gets tax breaks if you are married that you don't get if you simply live together. My advice is to get everything in writing...prenup, prenup, prenup! If it isn't in writing, it didn't happen.
Ok well my question is that, why have children in the first place? I completely agree that without a legal document there are many ramifications for both sides. But why have children? Why get married? Why be legally tied down to someone? Why not have your own job so you don't have to rely on a man?
I'm just not understanding why women feel they have to have children?

It is a personal choice. Some have the calling to be a mother; others don't. But if you think that being a single parent with no financial or other help is easy, you are delusional. If you are a single mother without support, don't ever get sick or injured or you will be screwed. And don't ever let your kids get sick or injured because most employers (especially in this economy) don't have any patience for mommy staying home with sick kids. It is extremely expensive to raise kids even for married couples. Most families need 2 incomes to make ends meet. So, how can 1 person do it all alone? It isn't easy. 1 person cannot be home raising kids and earning a living income at the same time. Something is always sacrificed and usually the kids pay the price. BTW- if your mother felt the same as you; you wouldn't be here. Motherhood is kinda necessary to perpetuate the species. In other countries, motherhood is actually respected...go figure.
I doubt we as a species are at risk due to lack of breeding. At this stage of the game, breeding is about perpetuating one's bloodline, personal ego, a need to feel needed and spawning an expanded carbon foot print. Wake up.
Without a marriage, upon breaking up you are not entitled to any property, spousal support, life insurance coverage, pension benefits, etc. If you have been home giving birth and raising children, you get nothing without a legal marriage. I totally agree with you.

I hope it's fact, I don't see why it wouldn't be. On another note, what is that pole he carries with him when he skates?

Let us forget about morals and traditional values for a moment.
Marriage meant commitment!
Commitment that you are expressing to the one you suppose to love by legitimizing those feelings before God (religious wedding) and society.
People who fill their mouth with “I don’t need a paper to be committed” are truly saying to the world: he or she is good enough to sleep with but not to be your wife or husband.
Im old fashioned . . . marriage should come FIRST and then children. Seems no one follows that rule any more - SAD!
well i dont really see the point in all the importance of marriage talk..she's famous (even if it's not forever) i bet she has the money, and definitely she will do better as a single mom, than most of us, if ever we will be, financially speaking, and just as long as she saves.

Mathew in my opinion is Peter Pan. He was known as a womanizer and I think he probably still is one. I don't think he has changed much. All this publicity about him and Camilla is good for his career. Look at me I am a great dad and treat my girlfriend right. As for marriage the fact that he hasn't married her says alot. Hey I can sleep with outher women I am not married. She is not that attractive and probably tolerates it.
