Ben Affleck’s Influence on Matt Damon’s Love Life
While Matt Damon is basking in marital bliss, his friend Ben Affleck has been going through a rough patch. The actor’s high-profile relationship with Jennifer Lopez has been plagued by drama and heartbreak, and Damon can’t help but feel a sense of empathy for his friend. The source told Life & Style:
Ben’s troubles with J. Lo and other women have served as a handy guide for Matt when it comes to what not to do in a relationship.
Damon still worries about making mistakes like his friend, who has had bad luck in love. The source continued:
He sees how lonely Ben is, the pain he goes through when he has these break-ups, the cost of it, to his mental stability as well as his bank balance. All things considered, Matt feels beyond grateful to have such a wonderful wife and stable marriage.
However, Damon also admits that watching Affleck’s struggles has made him even more determined to protect his own marriage. “Happy wife, happy life is Matt’s motto these days,” the source said. “He doesn’t do a thing without consulting Luciana.” During this tough time, Damon has been a steady support for the Caped Crusader actor, encouraging him to get help and stay sober.
Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso’s Enduring Love Story
Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso‘s love story seems like a fairy tale. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the actor told that they met in 2003 while he was filming Stuck on You in Miami.
Barroso was working as a bartender, and their connection was instant. Despite being a single mom raising four-year-old Alexia on her own, the Martian star was smitten. The Argentina native told Vogue Australia that Damon came into the bar with his film crew.
The Hollywood heartthrob said that he saw her across the room with a light shining on her, but Barroso joked that it was just the nightclub lights. He came behind the bar to escape the crowd asking for photos and autographs. Barroso put him to work making drinks, which he was good at because he had trained as a bartender for a movie. Damon ended up making her a lot of money in tips that night.
The couple tied the knot in 2005 and has three beautiful daughters together: Isabella, Gia, and Stella. Damon credits Barroso for being his rock and his best friend. He’s all in for her and truly values their relationship deeply.
