Matt Damon weds pregnant girlfriend

LOS ANGELES - Actor Matt Damon, star of "The Bourne Identity", has married his girlfriend, Luciana Barroso, in New York, a spokeswoman for the actor said today.

Damon and Barroso, who is three months pregnant with the couple's first child, were wed in New York and were "thrilled," said his Los Angeles-based spokeswoman. She declined to give further details about how they might celebrate or a honeymoon ahead.

Celebrity magazine Us Weekly reported the pair married in a private ceremony at New York City Hall with Barroso's 6-year-old daughter from a previous relationship at their side.

Damon, 35, has been involved with Barroso, 30, a former Miami bartender, for about two years. The couple became engaged in September.

The actor first rose to stardom in 1997 low-budget movie "Good Will Hunting," which he co-wrote and starred in with his friend Ben Affleck. The movie earned the pair an Oscar for original screenplay.

Early in his career, Damon earned a reputation as a solid actor in films like 1999's "The Talented Mr. Ripley," but he hit a professional bump when movies like "The Legend of Bagger Vance" and "All the Pretty Horses" failed to excite fans.

Damon rebounded when 2002's "The Bourne Identity" became a big hit at box offices. Other recent successes include "Ocean's Eleven," "Ocean's Twelve," and "The Bourne Supremacy."

He is shooting a new movie, "The Good Shepherd," in New York.
