Matt Damon has got engaged to girlfriend Luciana Barroso.
The heartthrob actor proposed to the pretty interior designer "shortly before Labour Day", his spokesperson told America's Us Weekly magazine. The couple, who have been dating for two years, have yet to set a wedding date.
By marrying Luciana, Matt will become stepfather to her six-year-old daughter, Alexa, from a former relationship.
The 'Good Will Hunting' star - who has previously dated Hollywood beauties Eva Mendes, Minnie Driver and Penelope Cruz - recently confessed he was desperate to become a dad.
He admitted: "I am definitely a little broody. I definitely want kids. I don't know when, but I do know it's something I want."
As well as spending time with Luciana and her daughter in Europe while he filmed 'Ocean's Twelve', Matt says looking after his nephews has also inspired him to become a father.
He said: "I have nephews and seeing them grow older is fun."
Matt has been engaged once before - to best friend Ben Affleck's former personal assistant, Odessa Whitmire.
The pair, who romanced for three years, first became close when Ben went into a rehabilitation clinic in 2001 to battle his alcohol addiction, but they split two years later.
