Matthew McConaughey and his wife, Camila, celebrated their daughter Vida’s 15th birthday with heartfelt social media tributes. Matthew shared a nostalgic Instagram post, featuring a childhood picture of Vida playing in the dirt, and thanked her for being his “tech guru” and for her love of growing things. His caption ended with a sweet note, signing off as “Papai,” a Portuguese word for dad, reflecting Camila’s Brazilian roots.
Camila also posted a carousel of pictures showcasing Vida at different ages, including moments with a chameleon and a horse, as well as a selfie with her daughter. In her caption, Camila expressed deep love, writing, “May you never forget that the first person to love is YOU,” and emphasized the significance of Vida’s name, “Vida” meaning “life” in Spanish/Portuguese. She added, “We love you so much words can not express!”
Vida’s older brother, Levi, joined in the celebrations by sharing a Halloween picture with his sister and wishing her a happy birthday.
Despite being a private family, the McConaugheys occasionally share glimpses of their children, and Matthew recently shared how fatherhood has enriched his acting. In an interview with People Magazine, he explained that raising kids has made him a better storyteller, as he finds himself explaining stories and characters in simpler, more imaginative ways for their understanding.
Vida was born in 2010, and the McConaugheys continue to cherish their family moments while staying largely out of the public eye.
