Michael Lohan

Michael John Lohan (/ˈloʊ.ən/; born April 25, 1960) is an American television personality, best known as the father of actress Lindsay Lohan.

Early life

Michael Lohan is the oldest of four children born to Marilyn (née Desiderio) and Richard Lohan. He has Irish and Italian ancestry.

Career

At age 20, Lohan became a Wall Street trader on the floor of the commodity exchange.

Personal life

Lohan married Dina, a former singer and dancer, on November 2, 1985. Dina and Michael Lohan have four children: daughters Lindsay (born July 2, 1986) and Aliana (born December 22, 1993), and sons Michael, Jr. (born 1987) and Dakota. The parents separated when their daughter Lindsay was three, and later reunited. Dina filed for divorce in January 2005. In October 2007, the couple announced a final divorce settlement had been reached.

On June 30, 2008, Lohan submitted a DNA sample for a paternity test after a Montana massage therapist, Kristi Kaufmann Horn, stated she was intimately involved with Michael in 1995 while he was separated from Dina, and fathered her daughter, Ashley Horn. 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.
