Oooh, scandal! Mamma Mia! star Dominic Cooper did his woman wrong!
Girlfriend of 12 years Joanna Carolan spoke to British magazine Grazia about how Dominic cheated on her, even after he promised to marry and start a family with her:
“He didn’t want to [be on a break during filming,] but I insisted. He went off to Greece and I knew about Amanda [Seyfried] straight away. Dom didn’t tell me — I heard it from friends. I honestly thought it was a five-minute fling.
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…
After the initial confusion I suddenly realized I did want to be with Dominic for the rest of my life… I said I wanted to marry and have kids and he said that’s what he wanted, too. I completely believed him.
I took it for granted he’d end his relationship with Amanda. He’d say he had and then I’d hear through friends that he hadn’t. He was still always flying off to LA 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 realized I was becoming a victim and I refused to be that woman.
I’ve cried a lot of tears and have woken up to the reality that the future I wanted is never going to happen. It was reported that we are back together after he had promised to end his affair. That’s not true. We still love each other, but we’re not together. I also care about Amanda: she’s young and vulnerable and has been upset by what’s been said.”
Sounds like he wasn’t that much of a catch to begin with, if he was the type who “needs a bosom as a pillow.” Amanda, watch out — if he’ll cheat with you, he’ll cheat on you.
