Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan have reportedly broken up. The two actors met on the set of “Lost” and started dating shortly thereafter. They supposedly got engaged last spring, though they never made any public statement and no one seems to have ever spotted a ring. Monaghan played a hobbit in the “Lord of the Rings” and articles about the two were always tagged with some mention of a beautiful girl and a hobbit. Kind of sad. They seemed really happy and passionate and into each other.

“LOST” hottie Evangeline Lilly and her hobbit-like fiance, Dominic Monaghan, have hit the skids. Monaghan, whose character was killed off the show, was spotted crying, holding and kissing a woman who was not Lilly at El Coyote restaurant in L.A. on Saturday, reports entertainment blogger Nelson Aspen. “They were right in the middle of the room, they weren’t interested in privacy,” he said. “They looked very intimate. They were nursing margaritas, leaning in, chain-smoking, having intense conversation.” The two eventually drove off in a Toyota Prius together. Reps for Lilly and Monaghan did not return calls.

Dominic Monaghan is having a bad few months. First he gets killed off from “Lost” and then his girlfriend/fiancée breaks up with him. No wonder he’s a weepy mess. Considering all that’s was said in the article, there are other interpretations for what went on. Though you’d think their reps would have bothered to refute it by now. I can’t say why, but I really liked this couple together. Maybe because they seemed sort of mismatched to the rest of us, but neither of them seemed to be aware of it. It was sweet. Something tells me Evangeline will be spending a lot of her spare time calling LiveLinks.
