Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, appear to have been hitting the gym as they both showed off their impressive physiques while soaking up the sun in Ibiza this week.
The 54-year-old actor was joined by his wife on board a luxury yacht during a break from filming Christopher Nolan’s big-screen adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
Matt looked buff as he displayed his sculpted abs and bulging biceps in a pair of swim trunks, while Luciana looked just as defined in her black bikini, which showcased her toned stomach and lean legs.
Relationship timeline
The Martian star met his Argentinian wife in 2003 in Miami while he was filming Stuck on You and she was working in a bar.
Recalling their first encounter in a 2018 Vogue interview, Luciana shared: “Matt’s story is that he saw me across the room and there was a light on me. And I’m like, ‘Yeah, it was a nightclub — there were lights everywhere!’
“He had started getting recognized and asked for pictures and autographs, and then it got kind of aggressive because people are drinking and stuff,” she explained.
“So he came and hid behind the bar… [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink. He says, ‘Oh, I saw you and I really wanted to talk to you.'”
Luciana put Matt to work behind the bar, telling him: “‘You know, if you’re going to be back here, you can’t just be standing there!'”

“So it turned into a really fun night and then 15 years later here we are!”

However, being a single mom at the time, she turned him down, but that just made Matt fall for her more.

“He said, ‘I love that you’re a mom and that’s your priority.’ Some guys might have been different, they might think it’s complicated, but for him it wasn’t.”

They tied the knot in September 2005 and have since welcomed daughters Isabella, 19, Gia, 17, and Stella, 14. He is also the stepfather of Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage, 25-year-old Alexia Barroso.
