"I think it's pretty obvious who I'm seeing. I think it's no shock to anyone that it's been going on for quite some time… She's a wonderful person, and I love her very much."

Lohan's friend and model Cory Kennedy spoke about the actress and singer's relationship in a June 2008 interview with PEOPLE magazine. Kennedy said:

“Lindsay just feels safe with her. I just feel like they have a very loyal and trustworthy relationship, which is really hard to come across in the world that Lindsay’s in. It’s a trust thing.”

However, their dating phase wasn't a constant one, as the duo reportedly went on and off again. In a conversation with Britain's Sunday People in July 2009, Lindsay Lohan highlighted their relationship's nature:

"I wake up every morning and despite being more in love with Sam than I have been with anyone in the past, in all honesty I don't know if we'll still be together by the time we go to bed."

After an alleged argument, they split up by April 2009; Ronson's family reportedly changed the locks on her home, per TMZ.

During a 2019 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Lindsay Lohan discussed the relationship and described Ronson as "more friends than anything… always more like best friends." After Lohan announced her engagement and pregnancy, Ronson responded to TMZ in March 2023 and wished the actress "all the best."
