Is Lindsay Lohan Lesbian or Gay, Who is The Husband or Boyfriend?

Lindsay Lohan is everything from a successful child actress to teen idol, the rabbit in the hat of every joke to an addict, a great actress, the former best friend of Paris Hilton and the one almost everyone else hated, a survivor, and of course, a lover. Just as her life has been the rather complex one, so also is her love story and sexual orientation that many do not know if she is straight, lesbian, or even bisexual. Let’s find out.

Is Lindsay Lohan Lesbian or Gay?

Having started her acting career when she was only 3, Lohan has always been in the spotlight. Because of that, tabs have always been kept on her by the media on everything including who she is dating or breaking up with.

In the romantic sense, Lohan has been linked to so many people in the past, including men and women, as well as A-list celebrities and those whose names and faces do not register.

While there have been speculations about her sexual orientation because of her relationship with women such as Samantha Ronson and Courteney Semel, LiLo has revealed that she is neither sexually fluid nor is she a lesbian. Instead, she is straight.

When she was in Los Angeles, there was a time when she preferred women to men, and it was at that time that she dated Samantha Ronson. However, she now likes men. Also, she has once revealed that she only dated women for the experience and the need for something different and not because she was a lesbian.

Apart from the aforementioned women that she has dated, the rumors had it that she dated other women including Eilat Anschel and Lady Victoria Hervey both in 2010.

The relationship of Courtenay Semel with Lindsay Lohan which lasted from 2006 to 2008 was filled with many crises until Ronson came and “stole” the Mean Girls actress from her. Not only was the pair odd, but the relationship between the English DJ and Lohan was also very toxic with many public fights and social media attacks. By 2009, the relationship had ended.

With a rather long list of ex-lovers, Lohan does not have a husband as she has never been married in the past. In fact, the only time she ever came close to getting married was when she got engaged to her then-boyfriend, Egor Tarabasov in 2016.

Lohan and Egor Tarabasov, the son of a Russian property tycoon, began dating in 2015. Seven years younger than the actress, Egor was said to be flat broke and was using the wealth of his father to fund his luxurious lifestyle. When he decided he wanted to marry the actress, she later revealed that she had to buy the engagement ring herself.

With the issue of finances as well as claims and counterclaims of physical abuse, the relationship between the two came to an end only 11 months after it began.

Apart from her dramatic relationship with Egor who has been described as the Tomboy of the actress, she has had many other boyfriends in the past.

In the early 2000s, one of her first recognized boyfriends was Aaron Carter whom she dated from 2002 to 2003. After that came to an end, she dated video jockey Damien Fahey from 2003 to 2004. Her next relationship that lasted was with the former lead singer of Elefant, Diego Garcia whom she went out with from 2005 to 2008.

Her next relationship that lasted a long time, although not steady, was with American actor Joaquin Phoenix from 2006 to 2010. From 2006 to 2008, she also dated Semel and then Ronson, and then Adam Senn, and then 50 Cent from 2010 to 2011. From then on, she dated a number of other men in short periods including Leonardo Dicaprio, Nico Tortorella, Guy Berryman, and Zac Efron.

More so, she has been rumored to have dated Bruce Willis, James Franco, Jared Leto, and Talan Torriero all in 2005. Justine Timberlake, Adam Levine, and Benicio Del Toro were among her boyfriends in 2006.

In 2013, she was labeled a homewrecker by Aesha Waks, a woman who claimed the actress destroyed her world by stealing her boyfriend whom she had been with for five years. According to Aesha, her boyfriend, Liam McMullan left her for Lohan whom he said he wanted to save. However, McMullan claimed that he had already split from his girlfriend before he started dating the troubled actress.
