First Ben. Now Matt.

Matt Damon and fianceé Luciana Barroso are expecting their first child together, Access Hollywood has learned. Luciana is three months pregnant.

Matt popped the question just before Labor Day to Luciana, who he had been dating for more than one year. The couple has yet to set a date for the wedding.

Matt and Luciana met at the Miami nightclub Crobar where Barroso worked as a bartender.

Once married, Matt will also become stepdad to Luciana's 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Earlier this year, Damon – who in the past had been romantically linked to Claire Danes, Winona Ryder and Minnie Driver – told Access Hollywood how much easier dating in the public eye is when there are not two A-list stars involved.

"That definitely helps. I think things can get magnified exponentially when you have two celebrities in a situation," Matt said. "Suddenly the interest it's not just like twice the interest, it's four, eight times depending on the celebrity."

Damon's film credits include "Saving Private Ryan," "Rounders," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "Ocean's Eleven" and "Twelve," as well as the "Bourne" movie franchise.

He shared the Oscar for best screenplay with buddy Ben Affleck in 1997 for "Good Will Hunting." Ben became a father earlier this month when wife Jennifer Garner gave birth to the couple's first child.

Matt is currently shooting his new film "The Good Shepherd" in New York. Shooting is set to be finished in January.

They (Matt and Luciana) paid a surprise visit to our local Humane Society recently. They got the cutest dog and named him Billy Crystal. Matt's OK in my book - he's a far better actor and somehow I feel he's the brains of the Damon/Affleck operation.

Copycat! Most definitely he is the brains of the Damon/Affleck duo! And hotter.

Congrats to them. Matt is hot...and definitely the smarter of the Afflack/Damon duo, agreed!

That's nice. I'm sure he'll be a great dad.

Matt Damon, 35, is reportedly about to become a dad! The Syriana actor's fiancée Luciana Barroso, 29 — whom he asked to marry in September 2005 after dating for more than a year — is three months pregnant, the report says. Matt's rep tells Star she is unaware if the couple are indeed expecting.

Matt is already familiar with parenting, though: He's close with Luciana's seven-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

News of the pregnancy comes just days after Matt's best buddy Ben Affleck also became a dad — Ben's wife Jennifer Garner gave birth to daughter Violet on Dec. 1 in L.A.
