'Cracks in the Veener'

Matt Damon said his daughters were taking bets on which couples would stay faithful.
Damon explained the premise of the show, which temporarily separates unmarried couples into different villas with attractive singles to test the fidelity of their relationships.
"So they bring in the hot singles, all the guys come in and start ripping their shirts and they’re like, ‘You made a mistake bringing her here bro,'" Damon told the actress. “The kids are like trying to take bets on which couples are going to make it and I’m like, ‘You know, guys, I doubt if they were all just faithful to each other, there wouldn’t be much of a show. So I have a feeling we’re going to see some cracks in the veneer.'"

Matt Damon Gushed About Parenthood

Matt Damon spoke about being a 'girl dad' with Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce in February.
“I used to be really into the nature-nurture argument,” he explained during an appearance on the "New Heights" podcast in February, emphasizing his belief in the importance of “nature.”
"Your kids show up — like that spirit that soul is there, and it's going to do what it's going to do," he explained. "The nurture part is very important; you're going to be helping with that, but they really are who they are right away."
He then shared the same advice a friend had offered him when his daughter Isabella was a toddler: "Don't blink."
"That s--- is real," Damon continued. "My daughter [Gia] broke her collarbone, and this morning she was getting ready for school. She's 17, and she asked me to brush her hair. And so I brushed her hair, and I mean, I hadn't brushed her hair [in] I don't know eight, nine, years?"
