Camila Alves: Some Bunny to Love

Fame

Baby isn’t due yet, but the Alves-McConaughey family continues to grow!

Camila Alves picked up a little bunny — along with some dog food — at a pet store in Malibu, Calif. on Monday.

Matthew McConaughey and Camila expect a sibling for 15-month-old son Levi in late December/early January.

See more photos of Camila and her boys in their newly-updated family gallery!

She is so cute and so is that bunny.

- April on

Wow she seems to be carrying really high and is just all bump again. More to the point, how cute is that little rabbit!!

- Bumbles on

yes Camilla and that bunny are both adorable and I think her and Matt are having a girl this time as she seems to be carrying higher than she did with Levi nearly a year and a half ago

- Courtney on

I LOVE that she has a big baby bump! I think she’s one of the most beautiful pregnant celebrities, and I love her style. How refreshing to see a model with a nice round belly…and still a couple months to go! :)

- Jenna Lynn on

That is a very cute bunny!!
Camilla looks lovely…as does the bunny!

- Bb on

i’m so glad she looks big this time around too..i’m due around the asme time and my bump is just as huge..

- cassie on

As long as there are not two bunnies…..

- baby carriers backpacks on

She looks beautiful!
I think it’s a girl this time around.
Love that bunny lol :)

“As long as there are not two bunnies…..”
what exactly is that supposed to mean? are they not allowed to have twins (which i highly doubt) for some reason?!

- paperskyyy on

“As long as there are not two bunnies…..”

May have meant, she should not get two bunnies because they will procreate like crazy. Make like rabbits…you know? That happened to me, so yes never get two bunnies even if you think they are both girls, they can surprise you…

And even if that isn’t what she meant take a chill pill paperskyy!

- Samantha on

Haha yes, Samantha, happened to us too… thought we had two girl bunnies till we put them in the same cage… :)

But back to topic, Camila looks great! As always. :)

How do you know bunny wasn’t for a little stew???

- Momof3 on

How could you eat something that cute!??!!!

Just a quick comment about bunnies in general—they make terrible pets and I hope this isn’t a gift for Levi. There is a great “bunny dump” that happens every spring where “domesticated” bunnies are released into the wild when parents wise up and realize that the bunny wasn’t the perfect Easter present after all. Bunnies, in general (there are always exceptions, especially for bunny lovers who respect the special nature of the animal), do not make good pets for kids. They do not like to be picked up or cuddled. They are, after all, one of the lowest creatures on the food chain and are, therefore, understandably nervous and scared around stimuli. There are movements to prevent the sale of bunnies in pet shops for this very reason: when the parents realize what a poor choice they made, they assume they can dump the bunny in a park somewhere where it will find its “family” and be just fine. But, by domesticating these poor critters, they are ill-prepared for life in the wild and they are promptly killed by predators. Just two cents to add to the discussion.

- Angie W. on

Maybe she is due sooner than they say. I don’t remember her bump being so big last time with Levi.

- HeatherR on

I love this beautiful family!! Camilla is one of the most
stunning women ever. Levi will love the little bunny.
PS: Love the way Matthew refers to her as “his lady”. So romantic!!

My daughter and I have pet rabbits.I always thought they were wonderful,interesting animals for children.It is true that they aren’t as easy to pet and hold as a cat or a dog but when my kid was a toddler she loved to hop and follow it around,and feeding them is also a lot of fun for kids.I believe it’s just a matter of teaching children how to interact with different types of animals,cats are not the same as dogs and rabbits are not the same either.Kids can understand that if parents take the time to explain it.Our first bunny lived six years and when he died we could hardly wait to get a new one.They are sweet,funny animals.

- eva on

Bunnies CAN be wonderful pets, but definitely not for small children. Levi is too young for a rabbit, which are very delicate creatures. I hope they don’t think a rabbit is like an overgrown hamster or gerbil. They are actually very high maintenance pets!

- Amy on

she looks great. i wish i will look that gorgeous when i wll be pregnant!

i dont understand all this talk about bunny. do we really know that the bunny is for them? (i have bought pet but it was present for my little cousin) and why you think that they will live Levi with the bunny by themself so it can be dengerous for Levi or the bunny?

- Kamila on

Momof3 – so wrong, lol!

Angie I disagree. I was a child that grew up having rabbits all my life. Our rabbits were like dogs and they didn’t live in cages. We let them have free roam of our house and they were all litered trained. Growing up I would dress them up in my dolls clothes and push them around in my strollers. I would lay in bed with them and squeeze the life out of them. My brother and I had a great time with our rabbits as kids. And of course my mother taught us properly how to handle them. It’s all how you hand raise them and the best time to start is when they’re small like this bunny. That way the rabbit grows up knowing how it’s going to be handled (even by a rough toddler).

- JMO on

Humm…i’m pregnant with twins girls and due in January. My tummy is just about her size. I’m just saying…:)

- girlpower2 on

Camilla looks great and I like the bunny she got, it looks exactly like the bunny I had for 8 years. Rabbits are actually good pets, once you bond with your rabbit when your first get it, they get used to you and are not as fussy and less likely to bite or scratch.

- CTgirl on

angie…what the heck? i grew up with a rabbit and she loved being held, cuddled, taken for walks on a rabbit leash..yes, there is a leash for rabbits. i have known others who have rabbits as pets, they are wonderful. what business is it of anyones what kind of pet they choose?

- Allison on

We had a rabbit. The kids would hold it, dress it, pack it around. Loved it. But then one day it went through puberty. From then on it was Mean. It would bite and draw blood and scratch. Will never have a rabbit again.

- deedee on

HeatherR- From what I’ve read, you tend to be bigger the second time around. :)

paperyskkyy- You mis-understood baby carries backpacks’ comment. She was referring to the bunny in the cage, not the “bunny” in Camilla’s belly. :)

girlpower2- I doubt it’s twins. I don’t recall seeing any pictures of other celebs who are due in January recently, but if you compare Camilla to other celebs who are due in December (since the post DOES say she’s due in late December/early January), such as Kendra Wilkenson, Kourtney Karadashien, and Adriana Lima (I’m not including Gisele as comparing her bump to Camila’s is like comparing apples to oranges!), she is about the same size, if not smaller, than most of them. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

First of all, her name is Camila with ONE L…the Latin version and not the English one. My daughter is also a Camila and that mistake is annoying.

Secondly, yes…with your second child the bump is usually larger and appears sooner. The uterus being stretched already and all that…

She is beautiful. With such a gorgeous name I must say! :)

- Erin Raphel on

Bunnies/Rabbits are excellant pets. We have one and it’s little box trained. We have a rabbit friendly space in our house and he has free run of it while we are. He goes in his hutch while we are gone and at night. My daughter is in 4H and shows him. He is super sweet and fun to watch when he does his happy bunny hops. We have 2 cats and the 3 love each other.

- macarty on

Cute bunny. I can’t wait to see the new baby! Ladies, I just can’t let this go without comment: The way a woman carries the baby in her tummy has absolutely nothing to do with the sex of the child. The embryo implants, a placenta grows, the baby floats in amniotic fluid. This bugs me almost as much as people who think they have a better chance at having twins because the father has twins in his family! Her tummy in this picture looks like she’s having a contraction. I hope not!

- Julie on

Julie- If she WAS having a contraction (which I doubt, as I’m sure we would have heard something by now if the baby had been born!), I’m guessing it was just a braxton-hicks one. :)

- CelebBabyLover on

Why why WHY does everyone refer to a woman’s pregnant belly as a “bump” ?! A bump is what you get if you bang your head.

- amy on

girlpower2, your stomach resembling Camila’s means absolutely nothing regarding whether or not she’s having twins.

Comparing two separate women’s pregnancies is always pointless because everyone carries differently.

- Ashleigh on

amy- Because that’s what a pregnant belly looks like. :) Personally, I’d rather hear it called a “bump” than a “lump”. :)
