Us Weekly Magazine got the world exclusive on Matt and Luciana's announcement.
Us Weekly, online at UsMagazine.com, stated:
Us Weekly has learned exclusively that actor Matt Damon, 35, and girlfriend of two years Luciana Bozan, 30, got married this morning in New York City in a brief ceremony officiated by a justice of the peace. Damon's publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed the wedding to Us. Sources tell Us that Damon and Bozan, a former bartender who is about three months pregnant and has a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, exchanged vows in front of Bozan's daughter Alexia. A source at New York City Hall confirms to Us that the couple wed this morning inside city hall. ''They did it real quick and then started calling all their friends with the good news,'' says a Damon pal. ''It's not a secret. They're telling everyone.''
On September 12 of this year Damon's rep confirmed to Us that the couple had gotten engaged and had begun planning a wedding.
Damon and Bozan share a $10.3 million Miami Beach mansion. When asked by Us last month about his engagement Damon said, ''I'm excited about it.'' Of his pending fatherhood, Damon told the magazine, ''I have longed for [kids].''
Matt met his bride-to-be and the mother-of-his-first-child in Florida where Luciana was raised. They met at the Miami club Crobar where she worked as a bartender.
Luci, as she is known by her friends, has since gone into interior design work.
Damon has a thriving film career.
People Magazine considers him one of the fourteen "Sexiest Men Alive". He shares this title with Clive Owen, Anderson Cooper, Denis Leary, Ian McShane, Keith Urban, Daniel Dae Kim, Heath Ledger, Nick Lachey, Vince Vaughn, Viggo Mortensen, Terrence Howard, Patrick Dempsey, and Matt's good friend and People cover star, Matthew McConaughey.
Together, Matt and Luciana bought a house in Miami, Florida, so seven year-old Alexia can go to school there.
The newlyweds also now share a home in New York.
Luciana passed the friends and family test when Matt brought her home in July 2004.
Damon's brother, Kyle, said at the time:
I am thrilled. I like Luci a lot. They make a fantastic couple.
This past July, Matt visited Bellevue, Washington, jeweler Steven Goldfarb. The actor picked a "classic, elegant" platinum ring, which he asked to have sent to him.
Goldfarb told People Magazine, "He said he wanted to get the ring and get engaged. He was very pleased."
Shortly before Labor Day this year, Matt proposed to Luciana.
Mrs. Damon is reportedly three months pregnant.

Luciana's seven year-old daughter is from Luciana's previous marriage to a Cuban gentleman, Arbelio Barroso.
This is Matt's first marriage.
Damon's friend Marc McGovern told People Magazine that Luciana is great for Matt.
McGovern said:
She's very grounded, very intelligent, very caring.
He said she has adjusted well to his crazy celebrity life. Meanwhile, Matt enjoys being a stepfather to Alexia.
Ben Affleck, Matt's good friend, Good Will Hunting co-star and LivePlanet business partner, was not in New York for the wedding.
Affleck's new wife actress Jennifer Garner gave birth to Violet Ann Affleck on November 30th. Garner and Affleck were married on June 29th. Needless to say, Damon's good friend is a bit busy at the moment.
Damon's breakthrough film was Good Will Hunting co-starring Robin Williams, Ben Affleck and Minnie Driver.
Affleck and Damon won Oscars for their original screenplay.
Williams also won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor.
Among Damon's other onscreen hits since 1997 are:
Ocean's Eleven - co-starring George Clooney, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Don Cheadle and Carl Reiner (a remake of the 1960s Ocean's 11 starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford and Angie Dickinson)
Ocean's Twelve - (released in December 2004) again co-starring George Clooney, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Julia Roberts, and Catherine Zeta-Jones
Damon was in New York last month for the premiere of his latest film, 'Syriana'.
The new movie co-stars George Clooney. Damon plays a paternal figure in the film.

Matt is currently shooting The Good Shepherd, a government thriller, co-starring Angelina Jolie.
Matthew Broderick and Anna Paquin are expected to be Damon's co-stars in his next film called Margaret.
Damon's publicist, Jennifer Allen, said she learned about her client's marriage in an early morning phone call from the actor.
She said Matt and Luciana do not plan to go on a honeymoon right away.
Tonight, Matt is expected on the New York movie set of The Good Shepherd, directed by Robert De Niro.
This weekend the production will move to Europe.
Ms. Bozan (aka Mrs. Damon) is expected to go with her new husband.
Sometime in 2007, Damon is expected to be be seen once again as Jason Bourne in the third action "Bourne" sequel.
The first two movies in the spy series were:
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
The name of the third film in this fabulous franchise?
The Bourne Ultimatum -- based on the book by Robert Ludlum
May Damon rule supreme in his new identity as husband and dad.
