Back in 2016 McConaughey revealed that he fell in love at first sight when he met Alves at a Los Angeles club.
"Out of the corner of my eye, this sort of aqua-green figure went floating across the frame about 20 feet in front of me," he told People. "My eye went up and I remember what came out of my mouth. I didn't say 'Who is that?' I went, 'What is that?' As l was trying to get that's attention across the room, I went in my head, 'This is not the kind of woman you call over across the room, McConaughey. Get your ass out of your chair and go get her.' Which I did."
The "Free State of Jones" star admitted he was instantly drawn to her beauty and her spirit. "The self-respect she had, the way I understood her and her relationship with family, the way she respected me but never took anything for granted, not putting on any airs whatsoever," he said at the time. "We went on our first date three nights later and I knew then … I've been wanting to go on a date with her for the last nine years and not with anybody else."
