The 44-year-old star was a true gentleman as he made his way through the New York airport balancing two colourful bags that were clearly the Brazilian model's.
He opted for his customary long winter coat, blacked out sunglasses, high neck jumper and smart brown shoes in a bid to travel incognito, whilst Camila Alves wore a thigh-grazing coat and furry black boots.

But making sure he was equally balanced, he juggled a cream long handle tote bag and a garish patterned one to match.
Camila, 32, on the other hand, tugged a grey suitcase as she followed her towering beau behind.
The jet-setting pair were arriving in New York on Wednesday for the Jimmy Kimmel Live show when he discussed his role as Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club, for which he lost more than three stone and won critical acclaim as a homophobic electrician.
It started off with one: Matthew took Camila's cream tote off her as they left for New York at LAX airport
Kimmel told him he should win the award alone for surviving on an eating plan of Diet Coke, egg whites and a piece of chicken a day to slim down to a tiny 9.5 stone.
'I feel like just based on that alone, you should get it. Right?'
McConaughey laughed and said 'no', before imparting some wisdom: 'The lengths an artist will go is not the measure of excellence for a role.'
Earlier this week he told Radio Times his dramatic weight didn't come without side effects.
'As soon as I hit 143lb [10 stone 3lb], I started losing my eyesight.'
The 6ft tall actor then looked into the condition and found the same had happened to the IRA hunger strikers in Northern Ireland 20 years ago.
He also revealed he locked himself away in his Texas mansion to avoid the sun and cultivate a pale complexion, putting himself through a virtual winter.

'This guy needed to be pale, so I didn’t go outside in the sun for six months. In the summer, I gave myself a winter,' he said.
And as the weight dropped from his muscular 13st 1lb to a scrawny 9st 9lbs, so, too, did his strength.
'I would do five push-ups and be sore. I would run 30 feet and my legs would lock up.'

deserve an award
The star's seriousness has led to him to take on a rare small-screen role in a new intense HBO crime drama, True Detective, alongside close chum, Woody Harrelson, as the pair star as detectives searching for a possible serial killer in deepest Louisiana.
In it Matthew plays Rust Cohle, an intense, troubled cop, who’s lost his wife and daughter by working deep undercover, and is now given to depressing philosophical ramblings on life.
True Detective is aired on Sky Atlantic, Saturday 9.00pm. The full interview appears in this week's Radio Times magazine, out now.
