Camila Alves on Fiancé Matthew McConaughey: "We've Been Living a Married Life For Years!"

It might have taken a few years, two kids and a couple of houses to get Matthew McConaughey down on one knee, but now that he's finally engaged to his longtime love Camila Alves... nothing's changed!  Camila says she already feels like Matthew's wife and making it official really won't affect their daily lives.  OK!

"We have homes together, we have family together, we have kids, we've built a life together. So we've been living a married life this whole time." In actuality, Camila says tying the knot is really more for her and Matthew's children, three-year-old Levi and two-year-old Vida.  "It's great for the kids," she explains. "Levi actually understands what it means now that mama's going to have the same last name as they have, so that's neat." So when will the wedding happen? Not anytime soon, according to Camila.  "I really haven't thought much about the wedding," she admits. "We just got a new home in Texas. It's just been really busy. I'm really just enjoying being engaged." OK!

"They forget that the really important thing is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy environment for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way."
