Here is a pic of Camila Alves leaving the hospital in Santa Monica, CA where she gave birth to her firstborn son, Levi Alves McConaughey, earlier this week:

Because this was the only pic snapped (that I know of) as she made her exit from the hospital you can’t see that babydaddy Matthew and Levi are riding in the backseat. I’m sure the happy family are looking forward to a nice seclusion away from the world so that they can take their $3 million dollar photos for OK! magazine in peace. I’m sure we’ll be seeing what baby Levi Alves looks like in a couple week’s time … but first — mother, father and son will prolly need a bit of alone time before their lucrative photoshoot.

UPDATE: The Insider has a pic of new daddy Matthew carrying little baby Levi all bundled up in a blanket as he made his way out of the hospital:

HMMM … it’s still gonna take me some time to get used to the idea of Matthew McConaughey as a father. It looks like he’s carrying a football underneath that blanket.

OK! magazine is reporting that Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have decided on a name for their newborn son (born last night) and have, thankfully, decided not to follow Matthew‘s oldest brother Rooster‘s lead and name the child after a brand of beer … instead, they named him after a brand of blue jeans:

Now that superstar actor Matthew McConaughey and longtime girlfriend Camila Alves have welcomed their first child into the world, they are revealing exclusively to OK! their son’s name — Levi Alves McConaughey. Explaining how they came up with the name for their baby boy, Matthew tells OK!, “Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. “Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.’” Baby Levi’s middle name is taken directly from his mother Camila’s last name. “We wanted to incorporate her family name,” explains the proud new father. To all the well-wishers and fans, Matthew and Camila have also released the following statement:

“We welcome Levi Alves McConaughey into this wonderful life and look forward to living in it with him. In the mean time and all times, just keep livin’.” — Matthew David McConaughey and Camila Maria Saraiva de Araujo Alves

Aww, well that’s nice … and strangely Biblical. Gettin’ back to big bro Rooster for a sec, he gave an interview to People magazine after the birth of the newest McConaughey and proclaimed that his little bro Matthew is gonna be “one helluva dad”:

Matthew McConaughey’s brother Rooster says his little bro is one lucky fella: “It’s good to have a boy the first time ’round!” He adds jokingly: “You can get away with dropping ‘em a couple times, and they’ll still be okay. Can’t really do that with a little girl.” For now the newest addition to the McConaughey clan is resting under the watchful eye of his parents … “He’s probably a bit tired right now, probably been sitting around that hospital just staring at the little guy,” Rooster tells PEOPLE. Rooster, 54, is the father of two, including 2-year-old Miller Lyte (yes, as in the beer). “The other day I told him, ‘Don’t worry if other people want to hold him for that first year. That’s okay.’ Our dad always used to say that,” Rooster says. “Hell, you wanna wait until their neck muscles get stronger anyway. That’s when the fun starts. I like ‘em when they get a bit tougher. I told him, they don’t really get fun until they’re about a year old anyway.” Roughhousing aside, Rooster says he’s certain his little brother will be a good father. “That guy is going to make one helluva a dad,” he says.

Hahahhaha … oh man, what a fun family. Again, congrats to the happy new parents and much happiness for their burgeoning family. Welcome to the world, Levi Alves!!

OH YES — one more thing on an entirely different note, OK! magazine has announced that they will be revealing the first pics of Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge‘s newborn baby girl Maddie Briann tomorrow! Woot!

Another day, another celebrity baby bump goes boom! Camila Alves, girlfriend of Matthew McConaughey, gave birth to the couple’s first child last night here in SoCal yesterday evening. Thus far, no name has been released but speculation about the baby’s gender turned out to be true … Camila gave birth to a bouncing baby boy:

Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend of two years Camila Alves have welcomed a son Monday night, his rep Alan Nierob confirms to PEOPLE. The baby – the first child for both – was born at 6:22 p.m. in Los Angeles, weighing in at 7 lbs., 4 oz. “They’re so happy!” said a close pal.

If the trend in naming McConaughey children carries on, then we may be hearing about a doozy of a name whenever the name is announced. Rooster McConaughey, Matthew‘s oldest brother, named his son Miller Lyte after his favorite brand of beer … I can only imagine what Matthew wants to name his son … and I can only hope that Camila will have the final say and save the child from a lifetime of shame and chagrin. In any event, whatever the baby’s name, I’m sending out much congrats to the happy couple on the birth of their baby. Maybe now we’ll see that Matthew will start settling down even more now that he’s a father … but I’m not holding my breath just yet ;)

UPDATE: OK! magazine reports that the baby has been named Levi Alves McConaughey — Levi, because it was another name for the apostle Matthew in the Bible and Alves, for his mother’s last name.

Despite the unfortunate reports going around that tomcat Matthew McConaughey was fooling around on his pregs girlfriend Camilla Alves on his recent trip to Nicaragua, Matthew‘s older brother Rooster McConaughey (one of the stars of truTV‘s Black Gold) tells In Touch magazine that Camilla loves Matthew just the way he is. Having seen numerous photos of the younger McConaughey sans shirt, I can totally understand her feelings:

Despite recent reports that Matthew McConaughey has been flirting with women in Nicaragua while his pregnant girlfriend, Camila Alves, stews at home, his big brother insists that the couple is perfectly happy together. “Camila loves him for him. He’s a free spirit and she gets it,” Rooster McConaughey, who stars on the new truTV reality show Black Gold, tells In Touch. “She knows what it’s like being around a famous guy. She’s the salt of the earth. You ain’t gonna get better than that!” In fact, the mother-to-be, 25, was overheard gushing about Matthew, 38, and their child at LA’s Privé Salon on June 18. “Camila was saying how she and Matthew don’t know the baby’s sex yet because they want to be surprised,” an insider tells In Touch. “She looked heavily pregnant, but very excited and happy!” Matthew, voted In Touch’s biggest party animal in 2006, admits, “I earned that title.” Matthew has some odd habits: The actor brushed his teeth on a street in Malibu in 2006.

I imagine it’s not easy being the girlfriend of Matthew McConaughey … he strikes me as a bit of a wild child. But, to her credit (and our detriment), she manged to get him in the habit of wearing a shirt in public more often than not so I guess she knows what she’s doing. I just hope that they can stay happy together. With a new baby on the way, there can be some stressful and emotional things to endure. For her sake, I hope that Matthew is good with the follow-thru once the baby is born.

PS: Random fun fact — Rooster McConaughey named his son Miller Lyte … after his favorite beer. I can’t wait to hear that Camilla and Matthew named their child Bud Weiser if it’s a boy, Coors if it’s a girl.
