Matthew McConaughey Names Son Levi


Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves have named their newborn son Levi Alves McConaughey, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

He wrote on his Web site that "Levi" is another name for the apostle Matthew in the Bible. "They were, in fact, two names for the same person," he said.

Weighing 7 pounds and 4 ounces, his son was born at 6:22 p.m. Monday.

Said McConaughey: "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.'"

The boy's middle name, Alves, is after McConaughey's 24-year-old girlfriend. "We wanted to incorporate her family name," he explained.

"We welcome 'Levi Alves McConaughey' into this wonderful life and look forward to livin' it with him," he added.
