In 1998’s The Parent Trap, Lindsay Lohan gained fame for her portrayal of twin sisters Annie James and Hallie Parker. This marked the beginning of her successful film career.
Throughout Lohan’s time in the limelight, her family has remained a constant support. Born to Dina Lohan (formerly known as Dina Sullivan) and Michael Lohan, the actress is the oldest child. Dina and Michael, who officially divorced in 2007, are also the parents of sons Michael “Mike” and Dakota, as well as daughter Aliana “Ali.”
"In the past, I always felt the need to protect Lindsay and people would often accuse me of being an enabler," Dina shared exclusively with We in April 2020. "However, behind closed doors, I would reprimand her. I believed that it was important for her own words and her heartfelt journey to be expressed."
Dina further explained, "As a mother, I have learned to focus on my role which involves providing comfort, guidance, and discipline. Now that they are older, we have a close relationship and they confide in me. We communicate multiple times a day through FaceTime and other means."

Lohan's continuous presence in the media spotlight was always accompanied by the unwavering support of her family.

Alongside Lindsay, Dina and Michael also have sons Michael "Mike" and Dakota, as well as daughter Aliana "Ali."
"Previously, I always had to defend and protect Lindsay, and people would say, 'She's enabling her,'" Dina shared exclusively with We in April 2020. "But I want everyone to know that behind closed doors, I would discipline her. I believed her journey and her growth had to be expressed through her own words and from her heart and soul, which she has done since then."
Dina mentioned that she fulfills her role as a mother by providing comfort, discipline, and sharing her thoughts with her children. As they have grown older, they still come to her for support because they have a strong bond. Dina communicates with her children frequently through FaceTime and other means.

Michael Lohan
The businessman, who had a daughter named Ashley with his ex Kristi Kaufmann in 1995, married Kate Major in October 2014. However, they split four years later. They have two sons, Landon and Logan, who were born in 2013 and 2014 respectively. In November 2015, the ex-spouses lost custody of their minor children after a video surfaced showing them arguing in front of the boys. As a result, Michael's mother, Marilyn Lohan, was granted full custody.
While Lindsay maintains a close relationship with her mother and siblings, her relationship with her father has been strained. In April 2010, the actress accused Michael of verbally and physically abusing her, Dina, and her siblings. At the time, the former Wall Street trader denied these allegations.
