Lindsay Lohan dishes on her new boyfriend, Russian heir Egor Tarabasov
Lindsay Lohan is opening up about her new boyfriend, Egor Tarabasov.
Lindsay Lohan has a new man in her life — a Russian man, to be exact.
The once-embattled starlet has been dating Russian business heir Egor Tarabasov for about seven months, she revealed in a recent interview with the Sun.
"I haven't known Egor for that long. We've been together for about seven months. He is a great guy. I met him in the summer. I'm really happy," the 29-year-old told the British tab.

Lohan also shut down the notion that Tarabasov is the reason she's remained on the straight and narrow.
"That's the one thing in America they always have done with me. If I have ever been linked to someone, they always say, 'This guy is so good for Lindsay, look at how he has changed her,'" she said. "I am just like, '... you,' because I have done this for me. I take care of myself and then they just set it up to fail."
The actress said the "smartest thing" she's done has been uprooting to London.
"I came to London by myself. Being here is such a big deal," she said. "I didn't have anyone here at first."
The "Mean Girls" star has been splitting her time between New York and Londontown, avoiding the Hollywood limelight. According to People sources, she has no interest in returning to L.A. because "the second she lands here, she is followed, all day."
To add insult to injury, the source also added that LiLo isn't really welcome in Hollywood either.
"People don't like her in Hollywood, and she knows," the source said, noting that Lohan is probably "trying to change people's perception of her."
As for her romance with Tarabasov, it's looking serious, if her Instagram is any indication. Tarabasov has become a recurring guest on her news feed, appearing again just a few days ago when the "Parent Trap" star posted a suited snapshot of her new man — sans dress shirt — that she captioned, "I love him."

About two weeks ago, she shared a sweet photo of Tarabasov nuzzling her arm at a glitzy event at Gstaad village in Switzerland.
TMZ put his age at 22 and said the two met through a mutual friend, but clocked the relationship at four months, not seven. He's also starting up his own real estate company in London, the site said.
Tarabasov reportedly visited Lilo's family in New York over the holidays and got their approval.
