Matt Damon and wife Luciana have welcomed another baby girl, his rep tells UsMagazine.com.
Their daughter, Stella Zavala Damon, was born Wednesday.
“My wife is about to have our fourth kid and we’ve drawn a line in the sand,” he recently told Parade. “This is it. Our lives are full and wonderful and we’re done having kids.”
Married since 2005, the two are already raising three daughters: Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2, plus Luciana’s daughter Alexia, 11, from a previous relationship.
“Lucy is in her third trimester for the fourth time and I think that’s about enough to ask of any woman,” Damon said. “I don’t want to turn her into Ethel Kennedy,” the political matriarch who famously bore 11 children.
Added Damon, 40: “If I had a bucket list, I’d say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be number one.”
The first trailer from the Coen brother’s remake of “True Grit” has been released. I love the Coen brothers, I’ll see all of their movies! And does it get any better than Jeff Bridges?
Matt Damon and his wife Luciana are expecting another baby, his rep confirms to UsMagazine.com exclusively. Damon, 39, and Luciana, 34, are parents to Isabella, 3, and Gia, 21 months. Luciana has a daughter, Alexia, 11, from a previous marriage. Damon — who quietly wed Luciana at NYC City Hall in December 2005 — has credited his kids with keeping him grounded in Hollywood. His rep says, ”Everyone is excited.”
“It’s pretty easy to kind of lose your way… having kids is really helpful,” he told Parade magazine. “They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly. There’s a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I’m probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier.” He said he hopes his daughters take after their mother. “My wife is a very wise and a very thoughtful person. Hopefully, they’ll inherit that,” Damon said. Added the actor (who supports charities including One, which fights AIDS and poverty in third world countries): “From me, I hope they’ll inherit a sense of social justice and a desire to continue some of those programs that I’m involved with. Maybe not those exact ones, but hopefully, something to further social justice.”
“This is for my new movie with the Coen Brothers. We’re redoing True Grit,” he recently told New York Post columnist Cindy Adams. “I’ll show it to them this week. If they like it, fine. If not, I’ll try again. I actually hate the thing.”
Damon, 39, debuted the facial fuzz Feb. 25 at the NYC premiere of Green Zone (out March 12), in which he plays a U.S. Army officer on the hunt for Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Despite all the stunts, Damon said he went uninjured while shooting.
“Naah,” he told Adams when she asked if he had any scratches.
As for adjusting to life in Morocco (where the flick was filmed)?
“You automatically don’t think ‘if’ when you talk about your tummy getting upset, you think ‘when,’” Damon joked.
Still, he doesn’t mind the sometimes hectic world of moviemaking.
“Y’know, this is all I ever wanted to do in life – be a movie actor,” he said. “Since I was a kid. My first essay at Harvard I wrote: ‘For as long as I’ve been alive I’ve wanted to be an actor.’”
