Personal Life
Lohan married Donata Melina Nicolette "Dina" Sullivan, a former singer and dancer on November 2, 1985. Dina and Michael Lohan have four children: daughters Lindsay (born 1986) and Ali (born 1993) and sons Michael Jr. (born 1987) and Dakota (born 1996). They separated when their daughter Lindsay was three, and later reunited. Dina filed for divorce in January 2005. Their divorce was finalized in October 2007.
On June 30, 2008, Lohan submitted a DNA sample for a paternity test after a Montana massage therapist, Kristi Kaufmann, asserted that Michael was intimately involved with her in 1995 while he was separated from Dina, and fathered her daughter, Ashley. A Montana court subsequently ruled that Lohan was Ashley's natural father, and his name was added to her birth certificate. The paternity results were revealed during his appearance on Trisha where Lohan reunited with Kaufmann while meeting Horn for the first time.
Lohan and former tabloid reporter Kate Major became engaged over Easter weekend in 2010. They later broke up, but their continued relationship, which was marked by conflict, was depicted in the fifth season of the VH1 reality TV series, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, which documented Lohan's rehabilitation for alcoholism, which he said began in 1982. Lohan says that although he had not done cocaine in six years at this point (a "culture" to which he says he succumbed while working on Wall Street), "Drinking always led to coke. Always." He also discussed how he was affected by the verbal abuse and alcoholism of his father, who had recently died of stomach cancer.
It was also revealed on Celebrity Rehab that Lohan had been diagnosed with left main cardiac disease. Although Lohan had previously had a blockage in his right coronary artery, the blockage at his left main coronary artery, which physician Drew Pinsky believed was caused by Lohan's past cocaine use, placed Lohan at high risk for a cardiac event, and required him to avoid stress and anger.
As of 2011, Lohan lives in West Hollywood, California.
