According to RadarOnline.com, actor Matt Damon reportedly took inspiration from his close friend Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez and sought couples therapy to work on his 18-year marriage with his wife, Luciana Barroso. Damon’s busy work schedule had allegedly put a strain on their relationship, leading him to consider a split.
Ben Affleck, who is known to value the benefits of therapy in his own relationship with Jennifer Lopez, noticed the issues Damon and Barroso were facing and encouraged Damon to seek help from a therapist before it was too late. Following Affleck’s advice, Damon and Barroso engaged in couples therapy, which reportedly helped them rediscover their romance and improve their communication.
The therapy appears to have positive effects on their relationship, as Damon and Barroso were recently seen enjoying a romantic holiday in Mykonos, Greece, packing on the PDA and seemingly rekindling their connection.
“Ben is first to admit the only thing that keeps Jennifer and him together is therapy.
Jennifer wanted Matt to get into counseling, too, though her reasons were a little selfish.”
Jennifer Lopez, who also values counseling in her relationship with Ben Affleck, is said to have supported Damon and encouraged him to seek therapy as well. The report suggests that Lopez hoped the therapy would help Damon shed any “bro behavior” he shared with Affleck and prioritize his relationship with his own wife.
Rumors had previously circulated that Lopez’s involvement might have strained the long-standing bromance between Affleck and Damon. However, the sources now suggest that the therapy has contributed to thawing the tension between Damon and Lopez, allowing Damon and Affleck to be close friends again.
As of now, there has been no official comment from Matt Damon’s representative on the matter. Nonetheless, the reported success of their therapy serves as a reminder of the value of seeking professional help to address relationship challenges and strengthen emotional bonds in the face of busy and demanding careers.
