The actor lives in Texas.
The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days alum was likely outside, as he moved from Los Angeles to Texas, where he grew up, with his kids, Levi, Vida and Livingston, whom he shares with wife Camila Alves.
“We were living a happy life in Malibu,” Alves said. “We had a beautiful house that we’d built together and put a lot of love and care into. We were raising our kids there. I was growing everything in the yard. I had bees making honey.”

His wife was the one to pull the trigger and uproot their lives.
“We grew up saying ‘Yes, ma’am’ and ‘No, sir’ or — as I should say — ‘Yes, ma’am’ and ‘Yes, sir,’" she told Southern Living. “It takes me right back to how I was raised.”
“Ritual came back, whether that was Sunday church, sports, dinner together as a family every night, or staying up after that telling stories in the kitchen, sitting at the island pouring drinks and nibbling while retelling them all in different ways than we told them before," McConaughey said of their routine.

“Time slowed down,” he added of living outside of Hollywood. “The clock was right, the body clock. And part of that is ritual; part of that is just the distance between places and the way people move. But it’s also the hospitality, the courtesy, the common sense, the lack of drama.”
