Matt Damon and wife Luciana pose with daughter Alexia, 25, in NYC… before he joins Jennifer Lopez in Toronto for the Unstoppable premiere
Matt Damon made it a family event in New York City on Wednesday.
The 53-year-old Oscar-winning actor was spotted with both his wife Luciana Barroso and her eldest daughter Alexia Barroso, 25.
Alexia works as a director of photography for Paramount Pictures in New York.
Luciana welcomed Alexia in 1999 during her wedding to ex-husband Arbello Barroso.
They posed arm in arm at the opening of the star-studded store Luisaviaroma in Manhattan.
This comes before Matt travels to Toronto, where he will attend the premiere of their film Unstoppable with Ben Affleck’s ex Jennifer Lopez.

Lopez has a small role as the wrestler’s mother, while Damon and Affleck are producing.
Affleck will not attend the TIFF premiere.
In late August, on their second wedding anniversary, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck.
Matt and Luciana met on the set of his 2003 comedy film Stuck on You and married in December 2005 in a private civil ceremony.
They have three daughters: Isabella, 18, Gia, 15, and Stella, 13.
Also present at the event were Nicky Hilton, Helena Christensen and Amber Valletta.
Matt paired his navy jeans with a black short-sleeved shirt, white All Star sneakers and black-framed glasses.
Luciana radiated in a tight black turtleneck top and a cherry red faux leather skirt.
Her skirt matched her quilted Chanel bag.
The 48-year-old Argentinian beauty had voluminous brown curls and wore shiny gold jewelry.
The couple walked around the event location hand in hand and smiling.

DailyMail.com has learned that Lopez, 55, is keen to attend the premiere of Unstoppable on Friday.
“Jennifer is excited to go to the Toronto Film Festival to promote this film because Unstoppable means a lot to her and she wants to support the film,” a source told DailyMail.com.
“It’s a true life story that’s very inspiring and she’s proud to be a part of it. Acting in the film was a highlight for her.
“The film has received a lot of attention and Jennifer wants it to do as well as possible. She is very professional and always works hard to give her films the best chance.”
Lopez plays a supporting role as the mother of a wrestler in the film, which has already received Oscar nominations.
At the premiere, Lopez will dress as she usually does: high heels and diamonds.
Lopez, 55, is one of the actors who plays the mother of a wrestler, and she co-produced with her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas
“She’ll be bringing a few friends and her glam squad, but it’ll be a short trip,” the source said. “She won’t be in Toronto long because she has other things to do.”
Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben last month after two years of marriage.
Affleck and his friend Damon are the ones who oversaw the film, while Lopez had a supporting role.
Lopez also produced the project alongside her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.
The couple was spotted with Matt and Luciana in January
The film will screen in the Special Presentations section at the Toronto International Film Festival, followed by a limited theatrical release in December 2024, via Amazon MGM Studios.
The project comes from Ben’s production company Artists Equity, which he founded with his good friend Damon.
Affleck and Damon are among the film’s 14 producers.
Production on the Amazon MGM Studios film wrapped last January.
Jennifer and Ben split in April.
The couple previously starred together in Gigli (2003) and Jersey Girl (2004). He also appeared in her film This Is Me… Now and in her documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
Unstopable follows the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University.
Actor Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight) plays Robles, with supporting roles played by Bobby Cannavale, Don Cheadle and Michael Peña.
Unstoppable is directed by William Goldenberg, who previously worked with Affleck as an editor on his 2023 film Air and on Argo (2012).
Ben and Jennifer have another film they worked on together: Kiss Of The Spiderwoman.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Manuel Puig and is set in an Argentine prison in 1981. Lopez plays the title role, a fantasy woman named Aurora created by Luis Molina (Tonatiuh), a homosexual hairdresser serving an eight-year prison sentence for allegedly bribing a minor.
Affleck and Damon are among the co-producers through Artists Equity.
In March 2023, Affleck was asked by CBS Sunday Mornings if he would like to collaborate with Lopez on the film.
“What a joy, what a joy to do something with her, to see her be wonderful, to go to work with your wife, to go to work with your best friend,” he said.

“If you’re not happy with the person you’re working with and you’re experiencing problems or difficulties at work, I think that’s one of the things that can really cause depression, anxiety and pain in people,” he added at the time.
And vice versa, [if] You like the people at work, you probably have a really good life, you know?
“I don’t want to give the impression that she’s doing it as a favor, but she is,” Affleck also said during the interview.
Ben and Jen are getting married in Las Vegas in July 2022.
When asked by Variety earlier this year if she and Affleck would ever reunite in a film, Lopez replied, “Maybe in the right movie.”
“I mean, we love working together and being together, so maybe,” she added.
