McConaughey to be a father

Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey is going to be a father for the first time, the actor’s publicist said.

McConaughey’s Brazilian model girlfriend Camila Alves is three months pregnant. McConaughey is “excited,” his spokesman said.

The 38-year-old has appeared in such films as The Wedding Planner and Sahara and was People magazine’s “sexiest man alive” in 2005.

His latest film, 'Fool’s Gold', is set to be released in the US next month and in the UK in April.
