Matt Damon, his wife Luciana, and their two children were seen out at LAX airport on Friday. Damon was photographed comforting his crying daughter Isabella, two, while Luciana had their newborn Gia Zavala, two months, in a baby carrier. It’s usually stressful to go to the airport and hopefully Isabella isn’t scared by the photographers that are likely to have surrounded her family. She looks like she was crying when she got out of the car though.
Damon has often talked about the joys of fatherhood. He told OK! Magazine that being a dad inspired him to start his charity, the H2O Africa Foundation, which brings clean water to remote parts of Africa. He also spoke candidly about how being a dad opened him up and changed his life:
“I think certainly once you have kids it’s hard not to see your child in every other child that you meet. And when you see the way a lot of children live in the world it makes you very angry as a parent.”
So what does the two-time dad enjoy most about having kids? “Well that’s a tough question because there’s a lot to love about it,” he explained to OK!. “It’s probably the indescribable way that a new child opens up your heart. It sounds kinda corny but it’s true.”

You can tell that Damon is a great dad who gives it his all. Hopefully Isabella calmed down once they got on the plane. It’s a lot more comfortable in first or business class as they’re likely to have flown, but it’s not easy traveling with kids. I’ve been in similar situations with my son many times.
Damon is currently supporting Presidential candidate Barack Obama in his bid for the Presidency and was said to be going to Florida this weekend to help him campaign there. That is likely where his family was headed.
