Nicole Evangeline Lilly
born August 3, 1979

Born in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada, to a devoutly Evangelical Christian family.

Her father is a home economics teacher, and her mother is a beauty consultant.

Lilly was discovered on the streets of Kelowna, British Columbia, by Ford modeling agency. Although she initially decided to pass on a modeling career, she went ahead and signed with Ford anyway, to help pay for her University of British Columbia tuition and expenses.

Lilly was once married to Canadian hockey player Murray Hone. Since 2004 she has dated her Lost co-star, Dominic Monaghan.
