Matt Damon stepped out with his family to celebrate the latest moment in his career.

The actor was joined by wife Luciana and three of their four daughters on the red carpet Monday at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, AIR.

The Bourne Identity star, 52, smiled and laughed as he posed next to daughter Gia, 14, who wore a black floral dress with layered necklaces and her hair back for the event. Next to her was Stella, 12, who wore a black corset-style long-sleeved top with a silky black floral skirt.

Isabella, 16, sported a gray floral v-neck dress with black lace trim as she smiles in between her sister and mom. Luciana, 46, looked chic in a black long-sleeved midi dress with an asymmetrical hem.

Matt Damon Says His Daughter Only Watches His Films with 'Terrible' Reviews: 'She's Looking for Ammunition'

Absent from the event was Luciana's daughter from a previous relationship, 24-year-old Alexia.

Matt and his wife began dating in 2003 when they met in Miami Beach, Florida, while Matt was filming the comedy Stuck on You. Luciana and her daughter Alexia were at Matt's side throughout the European shoot of his movie Ocean's Twelve. Matt and Luciana tied the knot in a private ceremony in New York City in December 2005.

In 2018, Luciana shared with Vogue Australia that one of the traits Matt admired about her when they first met was that she was a mom.

"We definitely had a connection right away, it was so easy to talk to each other, we were very comfortable [with each other], and by the end of the night, he invited me to go out with his friends," she recalled. "But I was like, 'I can't, I have a 4-year-old daughter, I'm not going anywhere' … and that was one of the things he loved, that I had a daughter."

She continued, "He said, 'I love that you're a mom and that's your priority.' Some guys might have been different, they might think it's complicated, but for him it wasn't".

"When you meet somebody that you have a connection with, that's just the person that you have a connection with, all the other stuff — the movie-star part — wasn't really a factor. It was just Matt, to me he's just Matt."
