Lost Brother and Sister Dating in Real Life

Ian Somerhalder and Maggie Grace, who played incestuous stepbrother and sister Boone and Shannon on “Lost,” are hooking up in real life, according to Us Weekly.

File this one under “life imitating slightly incestuous art.” Before Lost’s Ian Somerhalder and Maggie Grace were killed off by the island of scary cloud monsters and disproportionately good-looking people, their characters, Boone and Shannon, hooked up in a flashback sequence (skeeving the rest of us out since they were playing stepsiblings). Now the couple are quietly dating offscreen!

“They stay out of the limelight,” a source tells Us, “but they spend a lot of time hanging out and working out together at Gold’s Gym [in Venice Beach, California.]” The pair will “kiss and hold hands when they come and go from the gym. You can tell they’re a couple.”
