March 15, 2008: Evangeline gets together with Dominic /EDIT: now with correct date
As far as fans of LOST's Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly knew they "quietly broke up in the fall of 2007."
In honesty, we never knew much other than what we saw in photographs as the cute couple frequented the shores of Hawaii catching waves. They were together 2 or 3 years and it seemed as sure a thing as it gets in Hollywood that they'd make it official as Evie is said to be very, very, Christian.
But then at the end of last season LOST killed off Dominic's popular character on the show, "Charlie Pace," and not much later it was reported that Dominic was spotted in a popular LA club, very distraught and in the arms of a woman who was not Evangeline.
The couple, always deeply non-verbal about their relationship or lack thereof issued no statements at any time so the press has just kept guessing and assuming about their relationship status.
Why do we care? Same reason that we have cared for centuries about couples in love. It's LOVE. We all dig it.
Personally, I think Evie is an adorable, spirited Canadian gal and Dom is very talented and charming and well, frankly I was hoping for a fairy-tale ending. (You won't find me rooting for the death of other people's relationships unless they are causing harm to one another.) And though not deeply saddened when I heard rumours of their break-up, I was disappointed that a love story I'd followed came to an end.
Or did it? Above is Evie this past weekend in Los Angeles about to attend Dominic's photo exhibition at L.A.'s Hamilton Selway Gallery! Full video of collection below:
Now, there is not a single shot of her--a model--in the exhibition and I took that to be an indication that they were not amicably split because Dominic included many actors in his exhibit including those from Lord of The Rings and LOST. Evangeline's absence seemed gaping.
But here she is in a funny wig going to Dom's gallery showing. She looks happy. I'm guessing Dom was happy, too.
If nothing else I hope they've reached a point where they can honestly be friends. I realize that it's rare, but it can be done.
Stay tuned.
More photos of the couple (in happier days(?) after the jump.
@m: That's as good a guess as any!

Or maybe they never broke up and have just been ignoring the rumors;) lol
