Matthew McConaughey's girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy on Monday night, the actor told OK! magazine.
The baby was born at 6:22 p.m. PT in Los Angeles and weighed in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces. The infant is the first child for McConaughey, 38, and Camila Alves, 24, his girlfriend of two years.
"A healthy baby boy was born," McConaughey told OK! magazine. "Camila and I were side by side the entire time. We are both tired and elated, and are so happy to have created the greatest miracle in the world — Having a child and making a family. Now comes the greatest adventure — raising one, together."
