Matthew McConaughey offered fans a rare look at his son Livingston while celebrating the boy’s 12th birthday in true Texas style.
The 55-year-old Oscar winner took to Instagram on Saturday, posting two heartwarming snapshots of their father-son bonding at a University of Texas football game—McConaughey’s alma mater.
One snapshot showed the duo cheering on the Texas Longhorns from the end zone with their arms slung around each other.
Another showed a quieter moment on the sidelines, with Matthew leaning in, seemingly offering some heartfelt advice to his birthday boy.
‘At a dozen, my son and teammate,’ McConaughey proudly captioned the post. ‘To many more wins in life. With love, Papa.’
Livingston is one of three children McConaughey shares with his wife Camila Alves, along with 16-year-old Levi and 14-year-old Vida.

Matthew also added to an Instagram Stories post, ‘Happy birthday Livingston.’
The birthday celebration comes after McConaughey said he believes parenthood has made him a better actor.
‘Having children, I know, has made me a better artist and a better actor. Kids see things for the first time all the time,’ he explained to People.
‘Their questions are innocent. I’ve become a better storyteller because I have kids.’
The actor voiced Buster Moon the koala in Sing and its sequel to give his children the chance to enjoy his work for once.
It was an especially meaningful moment for him when they realized his role in the films.
He said: ‘Yeah, it was fun…. And as they got older, there’s nothing I made that they could see.
‘As you become a parent, you end up watching mostly what your kids are watching. And so I was like, ‘Man, I’ve never been a part of an animated film and I like doing voice work’ and so I went and did that.’

Alves, originally from Itambacuri, Brazil, moved to New York City at 19 to pursue modeling, eventually landing on top fashion magazines.
She met Matthew in 2006, and they tied the knot in a private Catholic ceremony in Austin, Texas, in 2012.
McConaughey, a Texas native, gained fame in Dazed and Confused (1993) and rose to leading-man status with hits like A Time to Kill (1996) and his Oscar-winning turn in Dallas Buyers Club (2013).
The couple teamed up in 2023 to launch their organic tequila brand, Pantalones.
