Lindsay Lohan News: Actress Engaged To Russian Millionaire Egor Tarabasov

Now Lindsay Lohan has got a new act into shape, as the 29-year-old actress gets engaged to her Russian boyfriend, Egor Tarabasov, who is seven years her junior.

It was last month that she announced  a new man in her life.

"I haven't known Egor for that long," the "Mean Girls" star said in an interview. "We've been together for about seven months. He is a great guy. I met him in the summer. I'm really happy."

She had moved from New York and Los Angeles to start a new life in London, where she met Tarabasov, a Russian-born businessman who is managing director of Home House Estates. He spent his holidays with her before they left for Costa Rica in the New year. During the trip, he lured her family, especially her father Michael.

"He has a lot of strong connections in Russia - these are big people and they're very supportive," LiLo's father Michael said of his daughter's new boyfriend. "He wants things to be in the right place for Lindsay and he's wise beyond his years." He added that Tarabasov was "not a good influence, he's a great influence."

Her mother Dina is also bowled over by him.

"He is cute. He's a sweetheart. No, he's just a really good person," she said. "The tabloids are like, 'Oh, he's so much younger.' But he's very mature, very worldly. They love each other."

Still it is not entirely due to her boyfriend that Lindsay Lohan has turned her life around.

"That's the one thing in America they always have done with me," the actress said. "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.' I am just like, 'F--k you,' because I have done this for me. I take care of myself, and then they just set it up to fail. The smartest thing I have done for myself is making the move to London. I came to London by myself. Being here is such a big deal. I didn't have anyone here at first."
