After falling in love on the set of Good Will Hunting, Minnie Driver and Matt Damon had one of the most talked-about breakups of the late 1990s.
“I don’t care who you are, that is agony and it’s like a strange, surreal dream,” Driver told Entertainment Tonight in May 2022 about seeing her split with Damon play out on the covers of magazines. “He couldn’t have helped how famous he became and how his life was being picked over, in the same way that mine was.”
Damon publicly broke up with Driver in January 1998 when he stated that he was “single” while appearing on a talk show. He was soon linked to Winona Ryder, but he and Driver were forced to keep interacting during awards season when they both earned critical acclaim for their work on Good Will Hunting.
After his split from Driver, Damon married Luciana Barroso in December 2005, and the couple share four daughters: Alexia, Isabella, Gia and Stella. Driver, for her part, welcomed son Henry in September 2008 and is currently engaged to Addison O’Dea.
