Dominic Monaghan is opening up about his «devastating» split from  co-star Evangeline Lilly. While appearing onAnna Faris'  podcast, Monaghan got candid about his past relationships, but it was his split from Lilly that the  actor said hurt the most.«I think I've only really got my heart broken once in my life.

I was dating an actress on called Evangeline Lilly, who, you know, has gone on to have a name all of her own. I don't really know how she would explain the narrative, but from my point of view, it was probably the first time in my life that I was all in,» Monaghan recalled.The actor, who dated Lilly from 2004 to 2007, claimed that the pair was even discussing marriage and kids, and while things appeared great between the couple, Monaghan said it was his drinking and partying that ultimately led to their split.«Even though I would get my work done and at that point I was a very committed actor to, 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,» he shared. «I think if you are drinking often, probably your behavior, choices and mood are up for debate and I think Evie was pretty straight down the middle...I was always the guy that wanted more,» Monaghan added.Monaghan claims his partying ways prompted Lilly to look elsewhere, adding that he found out they were no longer together after he claims she began dating someone else.«I think she was looking around to see what else was an option,» he alleged. «Unfortunately, there was a bit of a crossover which was upsetting for me, and it exploded in my face in an awful way.» Monaghan said that he found out Lilly was allegedly seeing someone else while they were together because someone else told.
