I’m in the middle of a movie that I shot the first half in France and we were moving to Ireland and kind of right when we arrived in Ireland, the movie was shut down…Our oldest daughter is in college. Obviously that’s been shut down, but she’s in New York City. She had COVID really early on along with her roommates and got through it fine.

For the uninitiated, Alexis is the actor’s stepdaughter from his wife Luciana Bozan Barroso’s previous marriage. However, Damon considers her as his own.

I shouldn’t say our whole family’s together. Of our four kids we’ve got the three younger ones and our oldest one, we’ll reunite with her at the end of the month. But everybody’s OK.
