Evangeline shared on Instagram, “I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision. Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment. I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong. A new season has arrived, and I AM READY…and I AM HAPPY.”
Included in her Instagram post was a nearly 20 year old clip of Evangeline on the set of her hit TV show Lost, where she was asked what she wanted to be doing in 10 years time. She responded that she’d like to be a retired actress with a family and helping people in a humanitarian way. Evangeline and her partner Norman Kali share two children.
Evangeline drew some attention a few years ago with her stance on the COVID-19 vaccines.
