Matt Damon on World Cup viewing with his Argentine wife: 'It was very noisy'

Actor Matt Damon offered a glimpse into his home life during the World Cup, particularly highlighting the passionate experience of watching matches with his Argentine wife, Luciana Bozán Barroso. In a recent appearance on Seth Meyers' late-night show, Damon recounted the fervent atmosphere that envelops their household when Argentina plays.

Yes

When asked by Meyers if he watched the Argentina-England match with his wife, Damon responded affirmatively, describing the experience as intense. "Yes," he stated, adding that the excitement was so high it even startled their dogs, who were confused by the commotion. The actor humorously noted that even he doesn't get close to Messi's level at home, a sentiment Meyers echoed regarding his own wife's admiration for the Argentinian star.

Damon, who has been married to Bozán Barroso since 2005, shared insights into their enduring relationship. He met the Salta-born Luciana in Miami in 2003. Speaking to People magazine, he emphasized that while he finds it difficult to give relationship advice due to the uniqueness of each partnership, his own marriage is built on a solid foundation of "a lot of love, respect, and trust." He added that they continue to grow and evolve together, which is fundamental to their bond.

Even gave our dogs a big scare, who didn't understand what was happening. It was very noisy.

Beyond their personal life, Damon and Bozán Barroso also collaborate professionally. Luciana is a partner at Artist's Equity, the production company founded by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. She has been involved in the production of Damon's recent films, including 'The Instigators' (2024) and the upcoming 2026 thriller 'The Rip'. This professional synergy reflects their strong partnership, which Damon described as having been a part of his life since they met.

There is a lot of love, respect, and trust in our relationship. It is built on a very solid foundation. We continue to grow and evolve as people, and that foundation is everything. It is the best thing in my life.
