Dominic Monaghan talks getting his 'heart broken' after split from 'Lost' co-star Evangeline Lilly

foxnews.com:

"Lord of the Rings" actor Dominic Monaghan dove into details about his past relationship with "Lost" co-star Evangeline Lilly on an episode of Anna Faris' "Unqualified" podcast.

Monaghan played Charlie Pace and Lilly played Kate Austen in the television show "Lost." The co-stars dated from 2004 until 2007.  "I've only really got my heart broken once in my life," Monaghan shared with Faris. "I was dating an actress on ‘Lost’ called Evangeline Lilly, who, you know, has gone on to have a name all of her own."  After "Lost," Lilly went on to star as Hope Van Dyne/Wasp in multiple Marvel movies with Paul Rudd including "Ant-Man," "Ant-Man and the Wasp" and "Avengers: Endgame." She also played Tauriel in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies."  Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly both starred on the television show "Lost."

The actor noted that even though there was cheating on Lilly's part, it was ultimately his alcohol consumption and partying that was a driving factor in the split.  "Even though I would get my work done and at that point I was a very committed actor to ‘Lost,’ I would only consider it a weekend if I was drunk out of my mind on a Friday and Saturday night.

I thought that was normal," Monaghan said. "I think she was looking around to see what else was an option," he added. "Unfortunately, there was a bit of a crossover which was upsetting for me, and it exploded in my face in an awful way."  Dominic Monaghan.
