Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) -- It's a girl for Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves.

The 40-year-old actor and his longtime partner have welcomed a daughter they named Vida on Sunday.

He announced on his official website: "Happy New Year everybody! On Sunday, Jan. 3rd at 12:13am, Camila gave birth to a healthy 7lb.7oz. baby girl named 'Vida Alves McConaughey'…. '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 of your well wishes and prayers along the way, another blessed day, we give thanks, just keep living, Matthew and Camila [sic]"

The couple announced the pregnancy in June. They chose not to find out the sex of the baby prior to delivery, just as they did with their firstborn, Levi, who came into the world on July 7, 2008.
