“Got some blessed news … a celebration of life and bounty … a newborn conceived (sic) … yes, my girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together,” McConaughey wrote.

Alves, who is three months along, is doing well, the actor wrote.

“We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being a mother and a father,” Matthew said.

McConaughey goes on to say, “Wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution.”

McConaughey has appeared in films including “The Wedding Planner” and “Sahara” and was named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2005.

His latest film, “Fool’s Gold,” is to be released next month.

Everyone and their girlfriend and girlfriend’s best friends are pregnant in Hollywood. What is the hype – drop the baby fast this year?
