Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey's model girlfriend Camila Alves has given birth to the couple's first child.

Alves, 24, gave birth to a 7lb 4oz boy on Monday night in California.

The 38-year-old actor, who has had hit films including Dazed And Confused, Amistad and The Wedding Planner, announced that Alves was pregnant in a posting on his website in January.

"Camila and I were side by side the entire time," McConaughey told OK! magazine. "We are both tired and elated, and are so happy to have created the greatest miracle in the world - having a child and making a family."

"Now comes the greatest adventure - raising one, together."
