The 'Fool's Gold' actor - who welcomed his first child, son Levi, with Camila into the world in July - says becoming a father has made him realise how much the Brazilian model means to him.
He said: "Camila is the love of my life. Everything is right. It's all good.
"I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen."
The 38-year-old actor says parenting has come naturally to him and all the pieces of his life have now fallen into place.
Matthew added to People magazine: "We're a family now. I see the future and it's clearer to me now. Walking around with this cool responsibility all the time, it's a wonderful thing.
"We have a little bit more prep-time put into going places and doing things, getting him ready and everything. But it's amazing."
Earlier this month, it was claimed Matthew was refusing to hire a nanny to help care for Levi, insisting he wanted to raise his son without any outside help.
