Lindsay Lohan’s relationship to Samantha Ronson has been a difficult one for her to admit. In recent years, Lindsay has struggled to curb her partying ways including alcoholism and drug usage. She probably was hesitant to add lesbian relationship to the list. The media can be harsh and unfair toward non-traditional relationships in general. This, in addition to Lindsay’s news-worthy status in the celebrity world, was sure to make her relationship into a big deal. The relationship was kept quiet, but the public quickly began to put two and two together. The pair was always together, and Lindsay was not dating any men. Eventually, the relationship made its way into the public. It was a big deal, but at the same time not too bad. With stars like Ellen DeGeneres getting married to lesbian partners, the idea is becoming less foreign to the American public.
Another reason which the media has been forgiving to Lindsay is that she has cleaned up her act. She has not been seen stumbling out of clubs at all hours of the night, nor has she had any problems with the law. After a time spent in rehab for her issues, Lohan has been doing much better. Perhaps a great deal of this improvement can be attributed to the good influence of Sam Ronson. When a person is in a happy stable relationship, they tend to have less of an urge to party and engage in provocative behavior. Lindsay no longer needs the constant media attention; now she has the attention of Sam. This is a far more valuable form of validation. Lohan’s parents are also supportive of the relationship, which is a great help to Lindsay’s feelings. Her parents believe that Sam has been good for Lindsay. They approve of the relationship, and only want what is best for their daughter, and for her to be happy. This kind of support is invaluable to Lindsay as she is embarking on this relationship journey with Sam.
Recently, Lindsay has been wearing a heart shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger. The ring is valued at $22,000, and it looks every part the engagement ring. Despite Lohan’s status as the major breadwinner of the two, Sam has a lucrative career. She takes pride in being able to earn money to contribute in the relationship. She paid for the ring without any help from the bank of Lohan, and was proud to be able to give it to Lindsay. For Lindsay, it probably means that much more to receive such a hard earned and heartfelt gift from Sam. The couple has been together since last year, and it would make all the sense in the world for them to be planning a wedding. No engagement has yet to be confirmed, however.
Lindsay has told the press that she and Sam are more serious than ever, and very committed to each other. The ring was claimed to be a “commitment” ring, not an engagement ring. Lindsay has kept rather quiet since then. She admits that she and Sam share matching tattoos, and she is thrilled to tell of how in love they are. Lindsay also says that she and Sam, who have been living together since May, are currently looking for a home to buy together.
Sam whistles a different tune than Lindsay in regards to the engagement rumors. She is reported to have told a group of people in Los Angeles that “By the end of the year, my love will be Mrs. Ronson.” Whether or not Lindsay approved of Samantha making this statement is unknown. Perhaps Sam is looking for some attention, or perhaps she is the only one offering the honest truth about their relationship. Are their plans for the couple to wed before Christmas? Sam Ronson surely seems confident.
The truth of the matter is that nobody knows except the couple. Magazines and other media can only speculate. Lindsay says no, and Sam says yes. Neither is providing a wedding date or any other information that would verify the swirling rumors. Most would agree that the pair marrying would be a great thing for both of the women involved. Lindsay needs the stability of a relationship, and in return, she showers Sam with all of the love and affection in the world. Sam Ronson takes the relationship seriously as well, and wants to make sure that everyone knows that she is financially stable apart from Lindsay and is not by any means using the relationship for her own financial benefit. The pair seems to be a very healthy and happy couple in love. Marriage would not be surprising for the future of these two, but for now, America will simply have to wait and see what happens.
