In a rare interview with the Star magazine, in 2014, Arbello spoke fondly of Matt Damon. “I could not possibly have asked for a better stepfather for my daughter than Matt,” he told the magazine, adding, “He treats Alexia like she is his own flesh and blood. Matt has been an absolute blessing for my daughter.”
