Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, arrived in Georgia on Friday ahead of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s wedding.
In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, paparazzi caught the couple — who flew in via private jet — at an airfield close to Affleck’s estate, where he the actor, 50, is set to exchange vows with Lopez, 53.
Damon, 51 — Affleck’s longtime best friend and “Good Will Hunting” collaborator — touched down in loose-fitting khakis, a white T-shirt and a black button-down shirt worth overneath.
He accessorized his look with aviator sunglasses and a black baseball cap.
Meanwhile, Barroso, 46 — who shares daughters Isabella, 16, Gia, 13, and Stella, 11, with Damon — sported a white jumpsuit, oversized shades and animal-print sneakers.
It’s no surprise that Damon made the effort to be there for Affleck’s second set of “I dos.” (He was previously wed to Jennifer Garner from 2005 until 2018.)
During a 2016 interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Damon explained that he and Affleck shared an unbreakable bond.
“I’ve known him for 35 years, and we grew up together,” he said at the time. “We were both in love with the same thing — acting and filmmaking. I think we fed on each other’s obsession during really formative, important years and that bonded us for life.”
Damon and Barroso’s arrival came hours after the Daily Mail reported that Affleck’s mom, Christopher Anne Boldt, was rushed to the hospital following a fall from the dock of her famous son’s Southern estate.
The outlet obtained photos of Lopez and Affleck at the hospital with his mother.
Prior to Boldt’s accident, the bride and groom arrived in Georgia to prepare for their nuptials.
The couple were photographed with their kids shopping in Savannah ahead of the big day. The “Argo” star’s brother, Casey Affleck, was also seen arriving in town and, of course, stopping at Dunkin’ for a caffeine fix before the weekend’s festivities.
As Page Six exclusively reported, Lopez and Affleck’s ceremony will be officiated by celebrity life coach Jay Shetty.
Lopez — who has appeared on Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast — previously invited him to officiate four weddings as promotion for her latest movie, “Marry Me,” in February.
As preparations remain underway at Affleck’s home Thursday, Page Six has learned that Lopez is expected to walk down the aisle in a custom Ralph Lauren gown.
The A-list pair already made things official during a surprise Las Vegas wedding in July, during which Lopez wore two looks: a simple Alexander McQueen dress that she saved “for so many years” and an elaborate lace gown by Zuhair Murad.
