Matthew McConaughey and his long-term love Camila Alves were spotted leaving a Cannes church together yesterday. …

The Christian couple, who originally met at a Los Angeles bar in 2006, are regularly seen attending mass with their two children, three-year-old son Levi and two-year-old daughter Vida, at a church near their $4 million, seven-bedroom home in Austin, Texas.

‘A lot of people, sometimes they’re so stuck on “I gotta get married, I gotta get married.” They forget that the really important thing is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy environment for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way.’

However, Camila added that solidifying their bond legally is definitely a good thing for their children.
