Matt Damon's wife Luciana gave birth to a baby girl, the actor's rep confirmed to Access Hollywood.

"Matt and Lucy Damon had a baby girl named Gia Zavala on Wednesday, Aug. 20th. Everyone's doing great," Matt's rep told Access. "She is a healthy baby girl."

Baby Gia Zavala is the third girl for the Damon family. In June 2006, Matt and Lucy welcomed their first daughter together, named Isabella. Matt is also stepfather to Luciana's 9-year-old daughter, Alexia.

If a single woman has a baby on her own, no one blinks an eye. I'm sure close friends/family might question if she's sure she's ready, but it's really not a big deal. Why is it any different if a man does it?

Wargod, I think it's because if a woman does it a lot of people assume it was an "accident" or was an easy thing to accomplish. When a man, who doesn't have a womb, does it, we know it took a lot of thought, planning, determination, etc. and are a bit wowed by it.

Yeah but these days a lot of women are doing it the same way, lots of thought, planning, determination. There are a lot of people who want a child and don't neccissarily want the partner or just haven't found the right one yet.

What War said about planning by men or women and anyway, seems like a planned child has a leg up on an accidental one (if that was the case) and of course many accidental children DO end up being very well loved.

Wg, I was thinking the same thing. Women chose to raise children without father's all the time, by insemination or adoption. (Jodie Foster comes to mind)
In Ricky's case, it's possible he didn't want the complication of marriage.

War, it's the same double standard when a mom is not the custodial parent in a divorce (how could a mom do that??!!) or even if a woman chooses to place a child for adoption (how could a mom give her child away?!)
society has certain expectations on how the primary parent should be.

I'm confused about how Ricky Martin's despair over the plight of so many children translated into going to that kind of effort - instead of adopting one or more of these unfortunate souls a'la' Angelina Jolie...?

Dahli, I think that was just speculation on what may have motivated him. That sometimes after people have a life changing event, it makes things clearer in their mind like how important family is. Maybe it made wanting to be a father a clear goal in his mind. But it's just speculation and guessing. We can't really know unless Ricky states something public.

Lovely pics! I love the one of the two of them dancing. They just both look so happy and that's the way a wedding day should be.

In the background of the cake pic, that looks like SJP.

I am sure Mr. Broderick might have something to say about that.

They did not break up. Rumors were flying that he stepped out on her. I don't think either one ever responded to the rumors.

So, how come when stars dress like bums they look okay? But when I dress like a bum, I just look sloppy? :-)

My guess it that their 'bum' clothes probably start at $250 each. Jeans $350, Grey Cashmere Sweater $400, Pashmina $250, .... the perfect bum look.... priceless

"matching" grey cashmere sweaters which look very like Simon Cowell's favorite shade of Versace grey.

The face sort of looks like SJP, but those arms are twice the size of her's. She's a toothpick with a head. I love her too, but uh...nah, I'm not going to marry her, lol.
