Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barrosa are expecting another girl, Damon tells UsMagazine.com.

The Oscar-winning actor, who turned 40 last week, and Barrosa already have two daughters, Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2, as well as Barrosa's daughter, Alexis, 11, from a previous relationship.

Their new baby is due next month.

"I'm thrilled," Damon told Us Sunday at the New York Film Festival's Hereafter premiere. "I can't wait to meet her."

Damon who quietly wed Luciana in 2005 has credited his kids with keeping him grounded in Hollywood.

"It's pretty easy to kind of lose your way... having kids is really helpful," he once told Parade magazine. "They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly."

The Bourne series will continue, but without its star Matt Damon, and without the main character Jason Bourne.



The Bourne Legacy's screenwriter Tony Gilroy has said that this film will be a new chapter to the series featuring a different hero.

While Jason Bourne will not be featured in the film, his presence will be there. Tony continued, "[he] will not be in this film, but he's very much alive.
