In many ways it seems like Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with deejay Samantha Ronson is probably the healthiest one she’s ever been in. Though the two have yet to come out publicly as a couple – and Lohan has never acknowledged her (likely) bisexuality or lesbianism – it seems like their relationship is remarkably strong and fairly stable, at least as a Lohan affair goes. According to several of their friends, they key to their happiness is trust – the pair have been friends for years.
Why does Lindsay Lohan spend so much time with good pal Samantha Ronson?
“Lindsay just feels safe with her,” socialite – and Lohan friend – Cory Kennedy told PEOPLE at Billabong’s 2nd Annual Design for Humanity Event Wednesday night in Hollywood. “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.”

It seems like Lindsay and Samantha’s friends are trying to be sort of discreet by not actually calling them a couple or saying they have a romantic relationship, but still want to make it known that they’re supportive of the pair.
“DJ Steve Aoki, a close friend of both Lohan and Ronson, said their bond is easy to understand.
[Samantha] truly is a friend to her,” he explained. “She’s a very positive influence …. [Lindsay] sees that and sees a genuine, good friendship.”
“I think the most important thing in a relationship is, really, trust,” agreed Kennedy. “I feel like that’s what their relationship thrives on. I love the fact that they’re both really happy.”

Though it is a little unusual to go from dating just men to women, it definitely happens, especially around Lindsay’s age. 21 is a pretty common time to figure out your sexuality. I do find it interesting that so many articles are calling Lohan gay, when it’s just as possible that she’s bisexual. Or perhaps she doesn’t feel the need to define her sexuality, and just goes with what works for her. Either way, it seems like she’s pretty happy and relatively drama-free, for a Lohan. Whatever influence Samantha has had on her seems to only be good.
Here’s Lindsay and Samantha doing some late night shopping at Mayfair Market on May 3rd. Images thanks to WENN.
She doesn’t need to acknowledge anything. If it’s working for her, good for her!
I guess this is a good thing, but it always concerns me when someone pegs their happiness or healthy lifestyle on someone else. When there’s a breakup these are the relationships that make headlines, and not in a good way. Have to say that I suspect this supposed “romantic” relationship may be more of a P.R. ploy than an actual relationship. Sure, they’re friends and have been for years, but I wonder if they’ve purposely promoted the romantic angle to keep the media’s attention diverted from her prior screw ups.
There was a person posing as “tia” “res” “ericka,” etc. Comments made under multiple nicknames get deleted.
Didn’t Samantha set Lindsay up with the Paps last year passed out in her car? What about leaving Lindsay at the scene of her accident where coke was found in her car? Are these positive influences, or does the public have a short-term memory, like Lindsay?
I a little bit agree with Cheeky Monkey. Plus, Samantha’s face looks a little guant like she’s still using.
Also, wasn’t Lindsay dating another girl before this? Courtenay Semel? Lindsay has poor taste in women, looks-wise.
That’s no woman, that’s a man, baby !
*obligatory*
Im happy Lindsey feels safe with Samantha, it’s obvious she is seeking positive feminine influences that her sorry ass mom could not provide
I was thinking the same thing, Cheeky Monkey – this person props you up in a car while you’re passed out, open mouthed and drooling, so that the paps can take your picture, and you trust her?
I don’t really see anything indicating a romantic relationship here… but maybe that’s just me… … …
I agree the most important thing in a relationship is definitely trust. Trust and then, secondly, a penis. I think it would be really difficult to give it up, just like that. I don’t see this relationship lasting very long. Then, because she never came out, Lindsay will just say they were only ever friends.
I see Samantha being heartbroken over this one.
I doubt she is gay. I think she is experimenting. She has had too many men, too young, now she is bored.
Whe you are gay in hollywood, it starts defining you and before you know it, you are bitter like Rupert Everrett and Rosie O’Donnell. Or pretending to be happy like Helen Degeneres and eventually dying miserable like Yves St Laurent. RIP. Look at T.R Knight now it is what every one knows him for. His career will never reach dizzying heights. If I was gay, I would just tell people it is non of their business like Ricky Martin or Clay Aiken. That way your career has a chance.
As much as I could give a crap about anyone the paps chase around, the losers they stalk do deserve some privacy.

@lola
I completely agree and I know assholes like Perez think it is their *duty* to be in the open, but it seriously isn’t anyone’s business!
Maybe some gay people don’t feel obligated to be poster children for gay rights. Maybe they just want to live their life and be happy.
Is there a reason why Lindsay is walking out of a supermarket and into a Boy George video?
Lola,
I think Sally Sitwell and I are on the same page when I say when you’re nailing Lindsay Bluth Funke, you are not feigning happiness.
@ Alexis took the, um, words right out of my mouth. 😆
i think lindsay is having a great time with her bff.. whether she is lesbian or bisexual just leave her alone.. it’s seems like, it’s a give and take relationship though…they are both happy!
the bottom line is: “is “loving” someone a crime?” 8)
One thing can’t be denied – Lindsay’s never looked happier 😐
She’s glowing in that photo
@Sally Sitwell…or should I say, Sally “STICK”well..ha!
love the name!
Also, I agree, culture club revisited.
I had a roommate for about 2 years that went all Lindsay Lohan, and many people that we knew and worked with, wondered many times if she had a crush on me. Sometimes people see something in others that they are drawn to, and though they may not be romantic, it is still a very intimate relationship.
Well said Jody!
Until Lindsay says she is gay or bi, she’s not as far as I’m concerned. In spite of what some tabs are insinuating, they have never been photographed doing anything that would indicate a gay relationship. Lindsay likes guys too much to give it up.
Perez Hilton thinks everyone is gay.
@Lola: yes, because Ricky Martin and Clay Aiken’s careers are reaching dizzying heights, whereas Yves Saint Laurent…who?
Yeah they seem pretty normal and happy, no more “those aren’t my pants” Lindz for awhile. IT’s in time too, to save her career and all she needs to lay off the booze and drugs…seriously…
