Matt Damon's VERY supportive brood: How the actor's wife Luciana and their four daughters have become red carpet fixtures after his quips he's 'outnumbered by girls'
Matt Damon has been centre stage on the press trail with a string of recent appearances to promote his role in Christopher Nolan's mythological epic The Odyssey.
And by the actor's side has been his wife Luciana and their four daughters, as the family have become fixtures supporting him at red carpet events in recent years.
Matt married his wife Luciana in 2005, after they met while filming Stuck On You together in 2003.
The couple are parents to three daughters, Isabella, 20, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15, and Matt also adopted Luciana's daughter Alexia, 27, in 2005.
Matt's family were proudly in attendance to support him at the world premiere of The Odyssey in NYC on Tuesday night.
The Good Will Hunting star also brought his girls to the London premiere and then to the after party in Mayfair earlier this month.
In a new interview with People at the NYC premiere, Damon provided rare insight into his family of six as he spoke about what he is being 'mindful' of as his daughters grow older.
'Having two older kids who are out of the nest and knowing how fast these final years go, we're trying to be mindful of holding onto what we can,' he told the outlet.

Matt himself has previously joked about being 'outnumbered by girls' in his family, saying it was 'great' to have so many daughters.
Yet these days, Matt is embracing all the time he can with his daughters after his eldest pair moved out.
He has also made his love for his girls permanent by getting all four of their names tattooed on his right upper arm.
Speaking about fatherhood, he said: 'It was very different, it's true, but I can't imagine my life having not gone down that road. I can't imagine what my life would be now. I don't want to imagine it.'
Matt has previously shared how he 'jumped into the deep end' by becoming a stepfather to Alexia, who was four when he and Luciana met.
Luciana herself has shared she was originally reluctant to go out with him and his pals as she was concerned about leaving her daughter at home.
She told Vogue Australia: 'But I was like, 'I can't, I have a four-year-old daughter, I'm not going anywhere'… and that was one of the things he loved, that I had a daughter.
'He said, ''I love that you're a mum and that's your priority.'' Some guys might have been different, they might think it's complicated, but for him it wasn't.'
Matt also told Hello! Canada: 'Suddenly, it wasn't just my wife. It was her 4-year-old little girl, there was never a choice. It was just the way it was, and I was happy for that.'
The star has spoken about his close bond with Alexia, even revealing how he taught her to drive while juggling filming for The Marian.
Alexia has previously shown an interest in acting, even making a cameo in Matt's film We Bought A Zoo.

Pedro Pascal has also revealed that when he and Matt were filming The Great Wall together, Alexia would be on set binge-watching episodes of Game Of Thrones.
'She's a hard critic, though,' he said. 'She's very, very sharp, like her mom and dad. And that she approved was the biggest stamp of approval I could've ever gotten.'
Matt and Luciana welcomed their first child together, daughter Isabella, in 2006, the star joked that his sleepless night actually had a positive impact by helping him to get into character for The Bourne Ultimatum.
Calling Luciana 'one of the funniest people he's ever met,' the actor shared she loves to roast him when his roles receive less-favourable reviews.
He told E! News in 2011: 'If the reviews come out and they're terrible, then she'll watch it. If they come out and they're good, she's going to pass.... She's looking for ammunition all the time.'
Matt has also shared that while Luciana isn't fazed by his status, he did use the perks to his advantage, by getting his daughter a personalised video message from Harry Styles.
He told Tara Hitchcock in 2021: 'Last Christmas, my wife, it was a one-two punch.
'We gave my 15-year-old a life-size cardboard cutout of Harry Styles. Harry Styles did a little video and said ''Hello'' to her, and she lost her mind. I think that was the best we've done so far. I don't know how we'll top it.'
Matt and Luciana welcomed their second child together, Gia, in 2008, and from a young age, the teenager joined her parents on the road for their various acting gigs.
He revealed in 2010 that Gia visited the set of his film True Grit when she was just a toddler, before a once-in-a-lifetime meeting Nelson Mandela while he was filming the biopic Invictus.
'Lucy and I didn't even talk to him, we just let him hang out with the kids. He bounced them on his knee,' he said.
'Isabella and Gia couldn't take their eyes off him. They just were looking at each other, completely locked on each other the entire time.'
Matt and Luciana became proud parents to their youngest daughter Stella in 2010, and the star went on to tell People it was a 'crazy' time after she was born several weeks early.
He said: 'The baby came a couple of weeks early. It's our fourth, so we've done it before - but it's a whole new dynamic.'

During the Covid pandemic the family relocated to Ireland, and they stayed in the country when filming for Matt's project The Last Duel was paused.
Speaking on The Tonight Show, Matt shared: ''My family and I, we just took a vote and we decided to stay and it was a great decision.
'We had a great time there and just got absorbed into this beautiful little community.'
After filming on The Last Duel wrapped, Matt and his family moved back to NYC from California and joked he may 'need a rental apartment' to escape his home with three teenage girls.
The outing comes in the wake of Damon's comments about how quickly life seems to go by with four daughters under the roof.
'Don't blink,' Damon told Jason Kelce during an appearance on the New Heights podcast in January.
'My daughter [Gia] broke her collarbone, and this morning she was getting ready for school. She's 17, and she asked me to brush her hair. And so I brushed her hair, and I mean, I hadn't brushed her hair [in] I don't know eight, nine, years?'
