When Love Goes Wrong :Matt Damon and Minnie Driver's Spectacular Breakup

Matt Damon is known as a Hollywood good guy, but let this be a lesson that literally nothing in this world is sacred. Damon dated his Good Will Hunting co-star Minnie Driver for a year, only for their relationship to implode in spectacular fashion. While Damon was on the Oprah Winfrey show, Damon denied having a girlfriend which was, apparently, the first that Driver heard of their break-up. What happened to the chivalry of sending a text?

they were fireworks in the movie, no surprise they would have wanted to be together. Minnie has such great emotional depth as a person which shines in the movie. Truly amazing whoever has that kind of partner.

What’s funny is I bet plenty of celebrities say they aren’t in relationships so that the relationship can actually work without paparazzi bothering them

I remember he came out on Letterman and declared he was madly in love with Minnie, but then she came out on another show saying that they were just friends...that must have broke his heart.

So... He didn't just say it to be secretive? I feel like I'm missing some details here.

This just goes to show. No matter what you’ve been through with someone in the past, things will move on & you will not be hung up on it forever. Both have moved on to much greater things & are so much better off for it. & guess what, that’s beautiful that they had a part in each others lives. How beautiful it is that in a moment so rare as a few years in the finite lives of man that there are two people that have great times together. Even if it doesn’t work out in the end.

How do I stop YouTube shorts from coming up in my suggestions?

He looks so much like his puppet. “Matt Damonnn…”

[tallspaniard]

The media loves to tell me over & over about how wonderful he is at Advertising he is very caring

[electriceyeball]

My mom always said I looked like him, which I hated, because I knew this 😂

[ExpectantHarvest]

That is amazing that someone that lovely would date him

I remember when this happened and he actually did do that on the Oprah Winfrey show If I remember correctly. Texting was not a thing and that was just a bad way to break up with somebody. If you're going to do it the right way you call them on the phone you tell them what's up or you tell them in person but you don't do what he did.

“What happened to the chivalry of sending a text?” Well, duh, smartphones and texting weren’t a thing in 1998. 🙄

[ast-og-losta]

Always include coupons with a breakup letter.

[IAmAHeater]

So spectacular fashion is because he said he didnt have a gf on Oprah? Did anyone even know they were a couple back then?

[orangewarm]

You've got this wrong. He broke up with her before the Oscar's and Oprah.

[SowingSeedsWithChristy]

Tsk tsk tsk...
Nothing worse than a surprise breakup than a public surprise breakup.

[michaelsalcau]

Minnie could be the Sun in anybody's life.

[leucifer]

They didn't have text back then 😂

[monketstyling]

Lots of actors want to keep their lives private.

[EKL-quih]

He's done interviews where he says this was a rumour and they'd already broken up. But the rumour stuck.
