Adding another precious member to their loving family, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have been blessed with their second child.

McConaughey and Alves announced through their Web site the birth of daughter Vida Alves McConaughey – who was welcomed into the world at 12:13AM on Sunday (January 3), weighing in at 7 lbs. 7 oz.

Of his new bundle of joy, Matt wrote, “”New Year and New Baby! Happy New Year everybody!!! Vida is Portuguese for ‘life’ and that’s what God gave us this morning. Camila’s recovering wonderfully and we are both truly honored to welcome this little lady into our family. Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers along the way. Another blessed day, we give thanks, just keep livin’. Matthew and Camila.”

The couple had previously made it a point not to find out the gender of their second baby until the pregnancy was complete, as Matthew and Camila previously blogged to their fans, “Not sure if it’s a boy or girl but we have our instincts. What are you thinking?”

While still yet to tie the knot, the “Fool’s Gold” actor and his Brazilian model partner are already the proud parents of a 17-month-old son named Levi.
