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.

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.

Lord of the Rings fans give a sigh a jealousy, Evangeline Lilly is touring New Zealand with her boyfriend and former co-star Dominic Monaghan. He was killed-off at the end of season three of Lost. The pair refused to be photographed together, but Lilly did have this to say about their trip.

“I’m hoping not to do too much sightseeing,” Lilly said.

“I’d prefer to find a little nook, find a little town or cabin … go and have a beer with some locals, walk through the farms, pick wildflowers, write, read, be on my own. That’s what I need here. That’s what I’m looking for.

“If I was in Egypt or India I think I’d want to go and see the sights. Here, it’s more about absorbing the spirit and the soul of this place … ”

Lilly, who turns 28 on August 3, says she has wanted to come to New Zealand ever since she was taught by a Kiwi school teacher as a 14-year-old.

“He went home for Christmas, brought back a slideshow, told us all about his country. I fell in love. I swore on that day that I would move here and raise my kids in New Zealand.”

Speculation is rife that they will be going to the Lord of the Rings locations and seeing where Monaghan filmed his role as the hobbit Merry. And obviously that they’ll be looking for a house to raise their yet unborn children. Actually, it is a completely rotten time of year to be here, mid-winter, she’ll probably go home and call her old teacher an idiot. Good beer though, very cold.

During last week’s visit to Sydney she talked about the Christmas fire that left her possession-less, caused by an electrical fault.

“It was a really liberating and exciting thing to happen,” Lilly told The Sunday Telegraph on a visit to Sydney last week.

“All that I lost were the things inside. I’ve always believed things are more of a chain than a vehicle. To not be tied down to anything was a great feeling.

“I was at work and I was like: `So I’ve got the clothes on my back, my wallet and my car and that’s everything I have in the world’.

It was like I was 20 again and the world was my oyster and I could go anywhere, do anything and be free.”

While she might be enjoying her new freedom, I’ll bet the house she buys in NZ to raise her kids will be thoroughly checked for electrical issues.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Images are older ones of Lilly and Monaghan in Hawaii. I know that some people are still working their way through the confusing labyrinth of Lost episodes, and I included the note in the title about the sort-of spoiler so as not to ruin it for them.

Drew, J.Lo, and Evangeline all looked lovely at the Golden Globes. I’m impressed with J.Lo’s makeup, which has looked mismatched recently but seems just right and not overdone here. Drew is a vision in white. She’s appearing in the upcoming film Music and Lyrics By with Hugh Grant, and judging from the way they’re posing kind of far from each other I would say this appearance is for professional reasons, but I would like to be wrong.

Evangeline Lilly’s dress is a gorgeous swirl of muted pastels and I love her loose curly hair.

Cameron Diaz is a haughty mess. She tried to pull off upswept carefree hair, but her hair is too straight and it just looks messy. Those bright red glossy lips look clownish, and I can’t stand her frilly white dress. She’s taking too many risks here at once, and falls flat. Am I being too harsh on her?
