Joanna Carolan, who dated English hottie Dominic Cooper, talked to Brit pub Grazia about their break-up after it became apparent that he was seeing his Mama Mia co-star Amanda Seyfried behind her back.
Despite what’s happened, 28-year old Carolan tells the mag that she is deeply fond of the ‘other’ woman and still speaks to her ex. “I’ve cried a lot of tears,” she says. “We still love each other, but we’re not together. I also care about Amanda: she’s young (23-years old) and vulnerable and has been upset by what’s been said.”
How adult of her!
She revealed that Dominic’s fling with Amanda began when they were on a ‘break’:
“He didn’t want to but I insisted. He went off to Greece and I knew about Amanda straight away. Dom didn’t tell me – I heard it from friends. I honestly thought it was a five-minute fling.”
However, when Mama’s filming wrapped, Carolan decided that she wanted to give their relationship another go. Dominic moved back in with her but she suspected that he was still seeing his blonde co-star:
“During this time I even went to the Mamma Mia! premiere with Dominic. Of course Amanda was there and it was desperately awkward. They weren’t supposed to be seeing each other then but in my heart I knew that they were, and those were the hardest days. He was still always flying off to L A where she lives and I know Dom – he’s someone who needs a bosom as a pillow. By then it did feel like betrayal. I realised I was becoming a victim and I refused to be that woman.”
Carolan went on to say she has no regrets about ending the long-time relationship:
“You have to decide whether you can put up with that – and I couldn’t.”
Now it’s time for you to cut your hair, work out a little more and land a hot boy, hopefully someone more famous than him, Joanna!
