00:00A Hollywood couple still going strong after 20 years? It's more than possible, it's provable.
00:07Here's how Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso's body language shows that they're keeping the
00:11spark alive.
00:14Damon and Barroso have been living out their happily ever after as a married couple in
00:18Hollywood. The two met in 2003 when Damon was on location filming a movie in South Beach,
00:24Miami, and reluctantly agreed to grab a drink with friends from the set. His famous face
00:28was spotted, and in an effort to avoid an enthusiastic crowd, he ducked behind the bar
00:33where Barroso was serving drinks as the bartender.
00:36Two years later, in December 2005, they tied the knot at New York City Hall with Barroso's
00:42then-six-year-old daughter Alexia in attendance. They renewed their vows in April 2013, this
00:48time surrounded by family and friends, including Alexia and the couple's three daughters together.
00:54Jimmy Kimmel was there to officiate the ceremony, despite the comical feud existing between
00:59him and Damon.
01:00I think it's maybe time to bury the hatchet here, man.
01:03You get to decide when it's time to bury the hatchet? You know what he's done to me?
01:08Over two decades after first meeting at that bar in Miami, it appears Damon and Barroso
01:13are still going strong, and the list spoke exclusively with Nicole Moore, a body language
01:18expert and celebrity love advisor, to see whether the happy couple really is that smitten
01:23with each other. Moore observed Damon and Barroso in a couple of different scenarios,
01:28and she confirms,
01:29Overall, Matt and Luciana appear to have one of the healthiest celebrity relationships
01:33out there. While out and about in Los Angeles in September 2015, the couple were caught
01:39in a private moment kissing each other goodbye, and it wasn't just a quick peck on the cheek
01:44either. Damon drew his spouse close with his hand on her nape, then gently cupped her face.
01:50Body language expert Nicole Moore detailed to the list the intimacy behind the action,
01:54noting,
01:55It's as if he can't get enough of her.
01:57After their initial kiss, the couple kept going with a series of mini-kisses, one right
02:02after the other. Moore observed that while the duo were essentially sipping from each
02:06other's lips, their bodies softened into each other, showing just how much they were both
02:11into each other and their tiny make-out session. According to Moore,
02:15Their body language here shows that this couple enjoys passionate intimacy.
02:20The devoted attention Damon and Barroso paid to each other in this moment wasn't a one-time
02:24thing either. The actor has consistently shown affection to his wife over the course of their
02:29time together. Moore says,
02:31I would describe their relationship as genuine, closely connected, and passionate.
02:36As for Barroso, Moore noted she wasn't immune to her husband's gallantry. Luciana's body
02:41language shows that she really loves when Matt is attentive to her needs, and she's
02:45also very grateful for him.
02:47When Damon's film Downsizing opened the 74th Venice International Film Festival in August
02:522017, he and Barroso walked the red carpet for the event. Before they stepped in front
02:58of the crowd, though, the couple paused to talk with other attendees. At one point, Barroso
03:03stepped away from her husband to carry on her own conversation.
03:06Moore told The List that while their temporary separation showed how confident each felt
03:10at the big event, it also brought out Damon's protective side. Matt kept glancing over at
03:15Luciana while she was conversing, as if to check on her and make sure she's okay.
03:20She also noted that Barroso did the same thing with Damon as they made their way down the
03:24red carpet. As photographers snapped away, she kept glancing over to connect with and
03:29check in on her husband.
03:30They really do appear to put each other first, ahead of the cameras. Many celebrity couples
03:35appear obsessed with getting the perfect pose, when in front of the cameras, but Matt and
03:40Luciana seem more concerned with each other.
