Lost star Josh Holloway always ended all of his romantic relationships before they got too serious until he was challenged by his future wife Yessica. The star, who plays Sawyer on the hit show, and his wife have been married since 2004 and he claims he has finally met his match.

He tells American Elle magazine, “I’ve done all the dumping, which is not a good thing. It’s funny, because I married someone who has always done it as well. I believe I met my match.”

The 37-year-old says he did try to break things off early in the relationship adding, “At the very beginning, yes; when I felt it getting pretty serious I went, uh-oh, and wrote the goodbye letter. But she promptly wrote another letter that trumped it. So I stayed!”
