Are Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan back together?


Lost stars Evangeline Lilly, 28, and Dominic Monaghan, 31, are said to have quietly rekindled their romance this February after breaking up three months ago. They met while filming the complicated castaway drama and were often photographed surfing and swimming in Hawaii together where the series was filmed. Monaghan’s character Charlie Pace was killed off the show last season, so he moved back to LA to continue his career. Lilly had to stay in Hawaii to film, and the distance was too much for them. They were reported to have broken up last November after three years together, when Monaghan was seen out with another woman. Neither commented on the relationship at the time.

Now Star reports that they’re back together, and that Lilly flew from Hawaii to Hollywood to attend the opening of Monaghan’s photography exhibit. Maybe they’re just friends and she’s being supportive, but if she traveled all that way they could have reunited:

Just three months after splitting up, Lost lovers Evangelina Lilly and Dominic Monaghan have quietly patched things up. The 28-year-old Canadian even flew from Hawaii, where the ABC show films, to Hollywood for the opening of Dominic’s photography show on March 13.

“They never stopped loving each other,” a source tells Star,. “She remained in Hawaii for the show, and he moved back to L.A. when he was killed off, so the distance took its toll. They decided to take a break, but it was really hard on them both.”

Frequent telephone calls and visits just reinforced to Evangeline and Dominic, that they belonged together. “It was as simple as that.”

I really like these two together and I hope this news is true. Many people commented about this relationship that they couldn’t see what gorgeous Lilly sees in quirky Dominic, but according to at least one study men who are less attractive then their wives make the best husbands, and it’s nice to see people together who aren’t both drop-dead gorgeous.

Still, we have the pictures from that night and Dominic was seen flirting with a cute brunette, while Lilly was chatting with friends. Maybe these two took pains not to be photographed together.

Thanks to WENN for these photos. The one of Monaghan looking flirting is credited “Dominic Monaghan and guest attending a private party at the Hamilton-Selway Fine Art Gallery in West Hollywood,” 3/13/08.
