Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves are celebrating after the Brazilian model was granted US citizenship on Tuesday.
The Interstellar star tweeted about the special day, posting a family photo taken at the courtroom where the citizenship was granted along with the message: "Congratulations Camila on getting your U.S. citizenship today - another fellow and great American."
Alves was born in Itambacuri, Brazil and decided to live in the US after travelling to Los Angeles at the age of 15 with her aunt.
She tweeted about her joy after receiving her citizenship, writing: "Happy to say I now hold an American passport! I have so much respect and appreciation for this country. #newuscitizen."
The couple wed in 2012 in Austin, Texas and are parents to three children: sons Levi and Livingston and daughter Vida.
