Actress Lindsay Lohan has finally confirmed her lesbian relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson, making the confession during a U.S. radio interview.

The Mean Girls star has long been rumoured to be dating her close pal Ronson, but has so far refused to comment on the claims.

Gossips were sent into a spin earlier this year (May08) when Lohan was caught kissing and cuddling Ronson during a party at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

The pair has been inseparable since, and Ronson recently fuelled reports by allegedly telling party-goers at a gig: "By the end of the year, my love will be Mrs Ronson."

And now Lohan has broken her silence about the romance after calling in to a U.S. radio station to express her condolences to the victims of the weekend (19Sep08) plane crash in Columbia, South Carolina, reports Mtv.co.uk.

She paid tribute to the victims of the tragedy, which left four dead and her pals Adam 'Dj Am' Goldstein and rocker Travis Barker with severe burns.

The radio DJ then asked Lohan: "Now, you guys, you and Samantha, have been going out for how long now? Like two years? One year? Five months? Two months?"

Lohan paused briefly, before replying, "A long... a very long time." (c) WENN
