Camila Alves McConaughey recently revealed that she and her husband Matthew McConaughey often forget their wedding anniversary.
"Matt and I are not good with dates with our marriage," she told Entertainment Tonight. "We go back and forth all the time."
Alves McConaughey was surprised to learn that her 10th wedding anniversary with the "Dallas Buyers Club" actor was taking place in June when ET reporter Rachel Smith reminded her about it during their sit down.
The "Just One Bite" author recounted a similar memory lapse with friends a few years ago.
"I had my tequila already and I was just feeling very feisty and I was going back to Matt like, 'No, you got the date wrong.' And he goes, 'No, you got the date wrong,'" she recalled.
"We're going back and forth and my friend wanted a beer, so I'm looking for a beer and I had one of the koozies. I opened the drawer to grab a koozie and right there — I started cracking up so bad — it was a koozie from our wedding," Alves McConaughey continued, "and both Matthew and I were wrong."

After Entertainment Tonight confirmed the McConaugheys anniversary date — June 9, 2012 — the Brazilian model joked, "OK, I need to write it down. Somebody write it down. I need a reminder for this."
During the interview, Alves McConaughey recounted meeting her now-husband. The two are also parents to three children, ranging from ages 9 to 13.
"I had just six months, maybe seven months before, [broken up] with somebody in the industry — an actor actually. I was just terrified of anybody in the industry," she said.
"So when he actually invited me to have margaritas, I was like, 'No thank you. Nope, nope, I'm good. I'm going to sit right here.' I'm turning my back to the table, but he got up, came over, and talked."
