Access Hollywood has broken the story that Matt and Lucy are expecting a child, and that Lucy is three months pregnant. The original story is here, and partly copied below. Congratulations to them both (if true).
Matt Damon's fiancee is pregnant
First Ben. Now Matt.
Matt Damon and fianceé Luciana Barroso are expecting their first child together, Access Hollywood has learned. Luciana is three months pregnant.
Matt popped the question just before Labor Day to Luciana, who he had been dating for more than one year. The couple has yet to set a date for the wedding.
Matt and Luciana met at the Miami nightclub Crobar where Barroso worked as a bartender. Once married, Matt will also become stepdad to Luciana's 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Matt is currently shooting his new film "The Good Shepherd" in New York. Shooting is set to be finished in January.
Update: The story has not been confirmed yet. From the Boston Herald (which also says that Matt's still in New York, not London):
Damon’s new role: Dad?
Not to be outdone by his best Boston bud Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and his fiancee, Luciana Barroso, reportedly are expecting their own little Red Sox fan this summer.
Matt’s future bride, who has been sporting engagement bling since just before Labor Day, is three months pregnant, according to “Access Hollywood.” Luciana has a 7-year-old daughter, Alexa, from a previous relationship.
Damon’s rep, Jennifer Allen, told the Track last night that the "Syriana" star was on the set of "The Good Shepherd" in the Apple all day so she had "no knowledge of whether it is true or not."
"Access Hollywood decided to go with the story because they believe their source is reliable — at their own risk," she added.
Be that as it may, Damon told the Herald’s Stephen Schaefer just last week that he enjoyed his first on-screen daddy role in "Syriana" because "fatherhood is definitely appealing."
"I’ve longed for it in real life anyway," he said, adding that he needs to brush up on being a disciplinarian.
"I’m very good at winding up the kids, I’m just not good at chilling them out," he said. "I think I spoil them. I think I like to play whatever games they like to play. I spoil them with attention, not stuff so much," Damon added. "We’re pretty good about that 'cause I don’t think that helps if you give a kid every kind of material thing that he wants."
And to think this parenting genius dropped out of Harvard!
Matt met Luciana, who grew up in California, in Crobar, a trendy Miami nightclub where Luci was tending bar. The Oscar-winning "Good Will Hunting" star was in South Beach filming the Farrelly Brothers comedy "Stuck On You" and they’ve been dating ever since.
Last spring, the couple bought a house in Florida which cemented the relationship.
"It was a foregone conclusion," Damon told Schaefer. "I never wanted to let anybody know. The engagement isn’t, like, anything new. We know we’re together."
No wedding date has been set, but Damon said it will be a private affair.

Just my humble opinion...
|
Hey, I think good luck to them both.
I just hoped he'd marry and start a family with someone he was over the moon about - and again, if that Lucy then yay for them.
But he has never given me the impression that he really knows what it means to truly, madly, deeply love someone when he has talked about Lucy or anyone else for that matter. I mean like everytime he goes on about not wanting to date someone in the biz I just think, "yeah right, as if it's that simple to control your heart with rules of the head". How about instead of just going on about how dating Lucy gives you a "normal" life, he shouts from the rooftop how absolutely extraordinary she is, how noone has ever made him feel so wonderful, so complete, so happy he could burst, and how he thanks the lord each day for making their paths meet... but as I've never heard him say anything even close to that I am brought back to my earlier comment - Good luck to them both, coz I think they might need it.

Matt Damon & Girlfriend Marry

Matt Damon

Matt Damon and his girlfriend of two years, Luciana Bozan, were married Friday morning in a private ceremony in Manhattan, his publicist confirms to PEOPLE.
This marks the first marriage for the 34-year-old Bourne Identity star. The Argentine-born Bozan, 29, a former bartender who is now an interior designer, has a 7-year-old daughter, Alexia, from a previous relationship. The couple began dating in 2003 when they met in Miami Beach while Damon was filming the comedy Stuck on You.
Bozan, along with Alexia, was at Damon's side throughout the European shoot of his movie Ocean's Twelve. But their big relationship test came over 2004's July 4 weekend, when Damon brought Bozan home to meet his family and friends in Boston.
Introducing her to pals at a local restaurant, he kissed her "every five seconds," said friend Jamal Prince at the time. "He's very serious about her. In the past he kept the other ones secretive. This one he's not hiding."
Like Damon, Bozan also prefers privacy to premieres and paparazzi. "She's not really interested in that stuff," Ocean's Twelve producer Jerry Weintraub told PEOPLE. "She's interested in him."
The interest clearly intensified. In September, Damon's rep confirmed to PEOPLE that the two were engaged. Early that month, at the Venice Film Festival, the actor maintained his usual New England cool even amid buzz that Bozan and he were set to wed. Asked by PEOPLE about the chatter, Damon laughed, held up his ringless finger and declared: "I'm not married yet."
The key word, it turned out, was "yet." In July Damon visited Bellevue, Wash., jeweler Steven Goldfarb and picked a "classic, elegant" platinum ring to have sent to him. "He said he wanted to get the ring and get engaged," Goldfarb told PEOPLE. "He was very pleased."
Damon's brother, Kyle, told PEOPLE: "I am thrilled. I like Lucy a lot. They make a fantastic couple."
