Lindsay Lohan has been a constant source of media attention for her romantic involvements throughout the years, starting from her teenage years.
In the early 2000s, during Lohan's time with Disney, she was romantically linked to the late Aaron Carter before entering a relationship with Wilmer Valderrama, known for his role in That '70s Show. Lohan faced criticism for her relationship with English DJ Samantha Ronson and spoke candidly to We magazine about the harsh ridicule she experienced for dating a woman.
"I had the audacity to confidently declare, 'Yes, I have feelings for a girl. So what?' This placed [Ronson] in a precarious position, subjecting her to daily attacks," the actress revealed to Us in 2012. "This is unjust. ... And what did I ultimately experience? Heartbreak. I realized that I needed to prioritize self-love before entering into any relationship, especially considering the turmoil I was going through. It became evident that two toxic individuals cannot have a healthy connection. That's the bottom line."
Following the dissolution of her engagement to Egor Tarabasov in 2016, Lohan made a conscious effort to maintain a low-profile regarding her romantic involvements.

Lindsay Lohan’s Dating History: From Wilmer Valderrama and Samantha Ronson to Egor Tarabasov, More
Lindsay Lohan’s romantic entanglements have inspired countless headlines for decades — beginning with her teenage flings.
During Lohan's early years at Disney in the early 2000s, she was romantically linked to the late Aaron Carter before entering a relationship with Wilmer Valderrama, known for his role in That ‘70s Show. Lohan later faced criticism for her relationship with English DJ Samantha Ronson and spoke to We magazine about the intense ridicule she endured for dating a woman.
"I had the courage to openly admit that I liked a girl. So what?" Lohan shared with Us magazine in 2012. "This subjected [Ronson] to constant attack, which wasn't fair... And what did it leave me with? Heartbreak. I realized I needed to prioritize self-love before entering into any relationship. I was dealing with a lot at the time. It's simply not possible for two toxic individuals to sustain a healthy partnership. It's as simple as that."
Following her broken engagement to Egor Tarabasov in 2016, Lohan consciously maintained a discreet stance regarding her romantic endeavors. However, in November 2021, five years later, she revealed her engagement to financier Bader Shammas after a nearly two-year courtship. The pair subsequently got married in July of the following year.
