maintained that he appeared serious about her and did not mind showing her off.

Following his family's approval, the couple continued their relationship for another year before celebrating an intimate wedding ceremony at Manhattan's City Hall in 2005.
A few months after their wedding, they welcomed their first daughter, and in the years that followed, their family grew larger with the arrival of two daughters.
Despite the change that came with parenting, the couple remained an admirable duo and always found ways to ignite the sparks in their romance.
More than once, Damon has been asked about his long-term marriage with the love of his life and how they have managed to hold it down, especially as a Hollywood couple.
Like many power couples, the actor revealed that their first secret to a successful marriage is to be close.

He said they made a pact never to spend more than two weeks apart. Damon is so in love with his wife and family that he wears their names on his sleeves.
In 2019, a tattoo expert, Winter Stone, shared one of his best works. He proudly showed the inks on Damon, whom he described as one of his favorite actors.
The actor was photographed wearing the names of his wife and kids on his sleeves. They had been written orderly, starting from the eldest to the youngest and, lastly, his wife.

Although Damon is very popular, Barroso prefers to remain anonymous as she opted for an under-the-radar lifestyle. Again, this scored her a point with her husband.
While expressing his love for her during an interview, "The Bourne Identity" star explained that he felt lucky to have fallen for a woman who has maintained a civil identity, staying private and not trying to use her husband's success to advance her career.

Damon has often been honest about how complex marriage can be, but he is always ready to stay in it. The actor claimed:
"It's a crazy idea, but I love being married to my wife. I'm lucky I found my wife. And I guess maybe if there's any secret, it's to feel lucky."
Indeed, having a soulmate is the luckiest feeling, no wonder it was easy for the couple to recreate their wedding ceremony ten years after their first meeting.

They honored their decade anniversary by renewing their vows on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. The party included fifty guests from family: their daughters to friends Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. According to an insider, it was a memorable event. The source revealed:
"This isn't a 'Hollywood' wedding. Matt wanted it to be fun, happy, and private. He felt like Luciana deserves this, first and foremost."

For the event, the bride dressed in a light-colored dress. Her daughters also donned matching-colored outfits, while the groom opted for a tan-colored suit and flip-flops.
Damon is not only a doting husband but also a proud father to his four girls; Isabella, Gia, Stella, and Alexia, the daughter of Barroso's first marriage.

Despite being surrounded by an all-girls squad, he revealed that he had learned many new things following fatherhood. In his words:
"It's great… I'm learning so much, not the least of which is how much smarter girls are."
The movie star acknowledged that the change that comes with being a dad is overwhelming and instant, yet he has been able to welcome it.

Before having his child, he adopted Alexia after marriage to her mother. Alexia was born in 1999 to Barroso and her ex-husband, Arbella.
Unlike her mother, Alexia remains in the public eye; however, very little is known about her life except that she featured in a 2011 film alongside her dad. She is an ardent soccer fan and studies at a private school.
Isabella, Damon's firstborn, joined the family in 2006. The actor jokingly expressed that she is his biggest critic and never wants to see a movie where he performs extraordinarily.

Daughter number three is Gia, born in 2008; not much is known about her. Finally, the baby of the house is Stella, who arrived in 2010. The girls are often seen visiting fun places with their parents.
For nearly two decades, Damon has managed to keep his family under wraps, while he also enjoys the perks that come with it—people are often curious to know about his family. This also makes it easier for him to control the information about them.
