The 55-year-old actor – – shares daughters Alexia, 27, Isabella, 20, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15, with Barroso, 49.
'We have family dinner every night, and that’s non-negotiable, and it’s always been that way,' the father of four told People.
Damon admitted that despite the practice, they sometimes struggle to stay present.
He pointed out, 'One of my daughters said, "Well, family dinner, last night we didn’t talk." And we realized, "Oh my gosh, you’re right." We sat down for dinner, and you can get lost in that routine a little bit and not appreciate why you established the routine in the first place.'
'That’s the kind of family mindfulness we’re all working on,' he noted.

Damon appears alongside a star-studded cast in Christopher Nolan's new epic The Odyssey, which hit theaters on Friday.
The film is an adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek narrative of the same name, which sees the titular Greek king embark on a perilous journey home after the Trojan War in a bid to reunite with his wife Penelope.

Damon plays Odysseus, while actress Anne Hathaway, 43, plays his devoted queen, who is forced to fend off potential suitors in her husband's absence.
The project has been called Nolan's 'most extreme' undertaking to date.
Known for his high-budget movies, his latest could prove to be his most ambitious, with the $250 million budget the most expensive of his career and his first film shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras.
