Matthew McConaughey’s mother, Kay McConaughey, has a love story that defies expectations. In a recent conversation with Austin Lifestyle, the 93-year-old mother of three shared the surprising details of her relationship with her late husband, Jim McConaughey. Not only did she marry and divorce him three times, but she was also the one who first proposed!
Kay explained that Jim was indecisive about marriage, and despite their deep connection, he couldn’t commit. Before she moved to New York to pursue her modeling dreams, Kay decided to take matters into her own hands. She sent Jim a wedding invitation with an ultimatum: show up at the altar or risk losing her forever. Jim accepted, and they married, though their journey wasn’t without bumps.
Their relationship included three separate weddings—each in a different church. Despite their struggles, Kay says Jim loved her but couldn’t settle on marriage right away. After Jim passed away in the early ’90s, Kay found love again with a man named C.J., her “soulmate,” who she shared 17 years with until his death from leukemia.
Although she never remarried after Jim’s passing, Kay never felt the need. “I was just so happy to have two men in my life that I really, really loved,” she reflected.
Now in her 90s, Kay attributes her stress-free life to a positive mindset, healthy eating, and regular pilates workouts—her go-to fitness routine, which she does four times a week. She’s a living testament to the power of self-care and a resilient heart.
