Top Women Matt Damon Has Dated

by

While Matt Damon generally prefers to keep his private life private, some of his relationships have been publicly known. His romantic history includes a relationship early in his career as he became famous, a few less publicized connections, and the enduring partnership that led to his marriage.

As a total film buff – and someone who loves a good backstory – I’ve put together this list detailing the women he’s been with. I wanted to keep it simple and factual, focusing on how they met, when their relationship happened, and what followed. My aim was to present a clear timeline, sticking to what’s been widely reported and avoiding any gossip or guesswork. It’s all about the known details, laid out in a straightforward way – no speculation, just the facts as they’re generally understood. You can find more information here if you’re interested in diving deeper.

Luciana Barroso

In 2003, Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso first connected in Miami. She was working as a bartender at the time, and he was filming a movie there. They officially married in a private civil ceremony in New York City in 2005, and later celebrated with a larger ceremony with loved ones. They share three daughters together, and Matt Damon also helps raise Luciana’s daughter from a previous relationship.

The couple values their privacy and has discussed establishing guidelines to minimize extended periods of separation when they’re working on projects. They generally avoid the intense scrutiny of the tabloids, choosing instead to attend premieres and support charities while prioritizing their everyday family life.

Minnie Driver

Damon and Minnie Driver became a couple after collaborating on ‘Good Will Hunting’, a film that earned both of them recognition during awards season. They dated in the late 1990s, but their relationship ended in early 1998 while they were promoting the movie. During that time, they were seen together at several industry events.

Following their separation, both continued to work actively in movies and TV. This relationship is still remembered as one of Damon’s most prominent early romances, largely because it happened around the time ‘Good Will Hunting’ became successful and brought them both a lot of public attention.

Winona Ryder

Damon began dating Winona Ryder in the late 1990s after they met through friends. The relationship lasted roughly from 1997 to 2000, and they were seen together at various industry events as both were busy with prominent projects.

The couple generally kept their relationship to themselves and ultimately split up in 2000. Ryder’s dating history often mentions Damon during the late 1990s, a period when both actors were very busy with their work. This timing suggests their careers played a role in the relationship’s progression.

Rhona Mitra

In 2003, Damon was briefly linked to actress Rhona Mitra as he began to prioritize his privacy. Sources say the relationship didn’t last long and wasn’t highly publicized.

The pair weren’t often featured in the news, and their relationship ended within a year. Mitra is still sometimes mentioned when people discuss Damon’s past relationships during that period.
