Matt Damon is still getting used to having to wave off another one of his daughters as she heads to college. Damon’s daughter Isabella , 18, is the latest to fly the coup after her half-sister Alexia Barroso , 26, left several years ago. (Damon also shares Gia, 16, and Stella, 13, with wife Luciana Barroso, 48.
) The actor, 53, said that he and the family are still adjusting to the change during an interview with E! News in New York on Thursday, September 19. “We have a 26-year-old, so we’ve been through this once before but it’s still a major adjustment for us and for her sisters,” he said. “It’s a different household with one less person there.
So, it’s a big adjustment.” The comments come after the Jason Bourne star opened up about his daughter preparing to leave for college in a previous interview with the publication. “It’s a lot,” he told E! News in July.
“It’s a surreal kind of time and the way it operates in your life, the older you get, because it just feels like I was holding her yesterday.” In August, the Good Will Hunting actor was asked to share his tips for other dads out there raising girls, given he has four daughters himself. “Oh, man.
I don’t know. I wouldn’t deign to give anybody advice other than I just try to listen and be helpful,” Damon told Andy Cohen during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy.” While he was self-deprecating about his parenting skills, Damon did suggest preparing children to be self-suffic.
