Michael Lohan: Engaged to Kate Major (Jon Gosselin's Ex)

Lindsay Lohan‘s father, Michael Lohan, is engaged to former tabloid reporter Kate Major, who dated Jon Gosselin. Here’s what the bride-to-be shared with People:

On when the wedding is: “I’ve already talked to some of the bridesmaids, and it will probably be in New York, probably at the end of this year.”

On Lohan asking her father for permission: “I’m very traditional, so I wanted him to talk to my father. Michael went down with me to Florida for Easter, to meet my father to ask for his permission, and my father gave his blessing.”

On the wedding: “I’m ecstatic. I’m very happy. Michael and I have known each other for four years, and it’s meant to be.”

On their 23-year age difference (Kate is 27 and Mike turns 50 later this month): “It’s never been an issue.”

Mike added, “I’m ecstatic. I’ve never met anyone who’s been there for me like Kate. She’s always been there for me. The one thing about Kate is that she doesn’t come with baggage.”

Lindsay Lohan‘s about to get a new step-mom!
