Matt Damons wifes ex husband gushes about Matt: an absolute blessing

Matt Damon met his wife Luciana when he was down in Miami in 2002 filming Stuck on You and she was tending bar. He explains it like he saw her, it was love at first sight, and his whole life changed in an instant. It’s really romantic the way Matt describes it, like a series of random events led him to Lucy and he still marvels at how everything lined up for them to end up together.

Lucy was separated from her husband and was a single mom to a four year-old daughter at the time. (Her divorce was finalized in 2004.) She ended up having three more kids with Matt, all girls, the youngest of whom turns four this fall. From the beginning of their relationship Matt took in Luciana’s first daughter, Alexia, like she was her own. Up to this point, Alexia’s dad, Arby Barroso, hasn’t spoken to the press at all and I’ve never heard his name until now. For some reason (probably money) Arby did an interview with Star Magazine, and all he did was gush about how awesome Matt is and how glad he is that Matt is in his daughter’s life. It was really sweet. Here’s some of what he said.

“Matt, Luciana and I all have a wonderful relationship,” Arby Barroso, the ex-husband of Matt’s wife and the father of Matt’s stepdaughter, Alexia, tells Star in an exclusive interview. “People have been hunting me down for years, offering me money and looking for a story. But I could be living in a tent, and I still wouldn’t sell them out. There is no story. Matt is a fantastic stepfather, and Luciana is a terrific mom.

“I couldn’t possibly have asked for a better stepfather for my daughter than Matt,” Arby, 43, tells Star in his first ever interview. “He treats Alexia like she is his own flesh and blood. Matt has been an absolute blessing for my daughter.”

“I used to provide for my daughter, but then the market went down. Everyones had their troubles, and I had mine. But Matt’s been providing for Alexia now for 10 years, and he treats my daughter great…

“She’s a wonderful daughter and I feel blessed that she was a beautiful family who love her.”

That “I could be living in a tent” comment makes me think that Matt gives this guy money, not that he shouldn’t or that Arby still wouldn’t love Matt for being awesome to his daughter. It just sounds like Matt has been helping him out.

There’s not much to say except that Matt Damon is an awesome person. I never, ever want to read a negative rumor about him. I don’t even want to hear that he’s been rude to anyone. He’s like Hugh Jackman, he’s known for being a great guy.

Note: these are all pics of Damon being a hot dad to his younger daughters. I couldn’t find a recent pic of Alexia. Matt is also shown outside the gym this month and in June.
