During Matt Damon’s appearance on SPIN 1038, he explained how Alexia Barroso had been diagnosed with COVID-19 when the pandemic first hit. “Our oldest daughter’s in college,” he revealed. “Obviously, that’s been shut down. But she’s in New York City, and she had COVID really early on, along with her roommates, and got through it fine.”
Alexia’s recovery probably came as a huge relief to Damon, who adores being a dad to his four daughters. “I think everything changes in little wonderful ways,” he told Entertainment Tonight in 2015 about becoming a parent. “My whole life opened up when I became a dad.” He added, “I’m very much on the receiving end of all the good stuff.”
Luckily for Damon, this separation from Alexia will soon come to an end. “And our oldest one, we’ll reunite with her at the end of the month,” he shared. “But everybody’s OK.”
In the meantime, Damon and Luciana Barroso are enjoying their time in Ireland. “Look, obviously what’s going on the world is horrible, but for my family, it timed out right,” he said. “I’m with my whole family, I’ve got my kids, and we have teachers with us because we were planning on missing school for about eight weeks, so we’ve got what nobody else has, which is actual, live human beings teaching our kids.”
Of course, we wish Alexia continued safety as she waits to reunite with her family.
