Matt Damon is getting candid about his nearly 10-year marriage to wife Luciana Barroso — and revealing how his pal Ben Affleck is coping since the recent announcement of his divorce.

"I'm lucky I found my wife," the 44-year-old actor said in a new interview with [Entertainment Tonight](https://www.etonline.com/news/170241mattdamonsharesupdateonbenaffleckadmitsmarriageisinsane/)_. "I guess maybe, if there's any secret… it's to feel lucky."

"I think marriage is insane. It's a crazy idea but I love being married to my wife. So I wouldn't tell anybody else anything about their relationship," he continued.

Matt and Luciana, 39, first met in 2003 while the actor was filming Stuck on You in Miami. The couple — who are parents to three daughters, Isabella, 9, Gia, 7, and Stella, 5 — became engaged in September 2005 and tied the knot that December. Luciana also has an older daughter, Alexia, 16, from a previous marriage.

As for the Good Will Hunting star's close friend, Ben? Though the 43-year-old actor is doing through a much-publicized split with his wife of 10-years, Jennifer Garner, Matt assures his pal is going just fine. "He's good, he's good," he said during his sit-down with ET.
