Considering he admitted he lost his virginity at the tender age of 15, it’s a wonder Matthew McConaughey has gone 23 years without getting a girl pregnant. But the 23 year streak has ended (I would guess intentionally): McConaughey and model girlfriend Camila Alves, 22, are expecting a baby together.

“Got some blessed news… a celebration of life and bounty… a newborn conceived… yes, my girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together… it’s 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far… we are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being a mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life… from moms and dads, to family, to community, it takes the best will and support from everyone to raise the healthiest children we have in society… wish us the best, keep us in your prayers, and God bless evolution… thanks for bein fans of me and my work and now this new and miraculous chapter in my life, as me and Camila and our child do our best to just keep livin… wow, McConaughey”

Two years ago McConaughey told Oprah “I’ve always dreamed of having children,” he told Oprah. “I go between [wanting] 14 and two. But I do believe my mate will have something to say about that.” No word on any marriage plans. Somehow I doubt that’s super important to McConaughey, but you never know. Something tells me McConaughey will be a really great dad. He’ll probably smoke a bit too much pot around his kid, and likely expose him to some naked bongo drum playing, but much worse has happened to celebrity offspring. I imagine he’ll be the type of parent that Kate Hudson is. Pretty laid back and unconventional, but still an involved, awesome parent. Congrats to them both!
