Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson finally confirm Hollywood's worst kept secret Yes, we're gay

After months of speculation about their relationship Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have finally confirmed they are a couple.

The pair were talking to an American radio DJ who asked them how long they had been together.

'A very long time,' replied 22-year-old actress Lohan, who has been living with the 30-year-old DJ since May.

The couple had rung the show to speak to DJ Stryker on Sunday about the plane crash in which their close friend Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein was badly burned on Friday night.

He told them: 'I hope you guys stay together, you're a very lovely looking couple.' Lohan then thanked him.

The couple are rumoured to be buying a house together in New York. They have been inseparable since the start of 2008, stirring rumours that they were secret lovers.

They made their affection for each other public on numerous occasions.

Bottoms up: Lohan leans in for a tender moment with Ronson

Earlier this month, they shared a tender moment on a street in New York. After shopping in Soho they were seen kissing outside the Mercer Hotel.

London born Ronson, the sister of Mark Ronson, also visited Lohan on the set of Ugly Betty, as she filmed her guest appearance for the hit show.

Meanwhile, Lohan's father has hit out at Ronson again.

Just one month after Michael Lohan publicly criticised Ronson for 'using my daughter', an email in which he slams the DJ as a 'disgusting representation of humanity' has reportedly come to light.

In the email, published by entertainment news agency X17, Michael allegedly writes: 'There is a lot more to Samantha than meets the eye! Not that what we see is sooo pleasing anyway!

'I mean, what’s with this… “person”??? Look at the way she “dresses”? Once more, she uses her middle finger more that she uses words! Personally, I think she is dark, hideous and a disgusting representation of humanity!

'I heard and know more about Samantha than you can imagine. Yet, while I haven't exposed her, I know that God will.'

Following several years of estrangement, Lohan reunited with her father after checking into rehab last year.

But last month, Lohan rebuked her dad after the born-again Christian accused Ronson of passing alcohol to the young Hollywood star.

Lohan wrote on her MySpace page: 'It really hurts, because I have tried - after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, I really tried to make things work.

'For the hope of having a father again - wanting things to change - even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same.

'Having said that - the people were right, and he is yet to change - but this time, without his daughter by his side.

'He has become a public embaressment [sic] and a bully.'
