'Another fellow and great American': Matthew McConaughey gushes as wife Camila Alves finally becomes a US citizen

She is the Brazilian beauty who stole the heart of one of the world's most eligible men.

And Matthew McConaughey took to Twitter to share a photo and a message about his joy that his wife Camila Alves had finally become a fellow United States citizen on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old model was grinning with glee as she posed with the movie hunk husband and their three children inside a courthouse, where she no doubt said her Pledge Of Allegiance.

Proud beefcake Matthew, 45, tweeted: 'Congratulations Camila on getting your U.S. citizenship today - another fellow and great American.'

But the Oscar-winning star was not the only one delighted with the development, for the Latina lovely, who worked as a maid when she first came the to US, shared the image with her own fans and sent them a message.

The mother-of-three said: 'First day back and look what I just went thru. It is with great pride and honor that I am happy to say I now hold an American passport!

'I have so much respect and appreciation for this country... #newuscitizen.'

Former World's Sexiest Man Alive titleholder Matthew married Camila back in June 2012, six years after they started dating.

The couple had already started a family by this point, with son Levi being born in July 2008 with daughter Vida following soon after in January 2010.

Their brood, so far, was completed when their youngest son Livingston was born in December 2012.

Keep it chic in a jacquard dress by Dolce & Gabbana

Her red carpet style is always on point.

So it was no surprise that Camila Alves looked super sophisticated when she supported husband Matthew McConaughey at the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last November.

And the fact that Camila and her daughter are both wearing Dolce & Gabbana dresses for the occasion is just too cute. Of course we love Vida's little number, but for now let's focus on her yummy mummy's outfit.

Check out the floral brocade texture of this dress, which is from the Spring 2014 collection. As with most D&G dresses, the design was a running theme throughout the line so was available in lots of different cuts. Unfortunately Camila's exact dress isn't up for grabs online, but click (right) to buy a similar style in the sale at Farfetch.

Camila told The View back in 2013 she worked as a maid when she first came to the States at the age of 19, and that she could barely speak English at the time.

She said: 'My father always told me, "Before you become a queen you have to learn how to take care of your own things."

'So I knew how to do all of it, but I had never really done it on a daily basis. So I was cleaning houses and I started working restaurants.'

Camila grew up in a farming family in Belo Horizonte in Brazil, and at the age of 15 visited her aunt in California and decided she was not going back. After years of hard work she started a career on modelling and has never looked back.
