(CBS/AP)  "Good Will Hunting" Oscar winner Matt Damon and his wife are parents of a girl, their first child.

Damon's wife Luciana gave birth in a Miami hospital on Sunday to Isabella, the actor's publicist Jennifer Allen said. No other details were released.

"Everybody is healthy and extremely happy," Allen told theshowbuzz.com on Monday.

The couple married Dec. 9 in New York City during a private ceremony attended by the bride's then-7-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. It was the first marriage for Damon, 35.

Damon and friend Ben Affleck, both from Cambridge, Mass., won a best screenwriting Oscar for 1997's "Good Will Hunting," set in the Boston area.

Damon's movie credits also include "Saving Private Ryan," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "Ocean's Eleven" and "Syriana."
