Lindsay Lohan and Daddy Michael Reunite

Lindsay Lohan and her estranged father, Michael, took their first steps toward smoothing out an arguably rocky relationship. Michael Lohan traveled to Utah yesterday to visit his 21-year-old daughter, who greeted him in the parking lot of the Cirque Lodge rehabilitation center. An onlooker at the center reported the initial meeting:

“The moment Lindsay saw Michael, she started running and jumped into her father’s arms. Her father hugged her and swung her around. Lindsay was so happy. It was very emotional.”

Michael, who hasn’t seen Lindsay in about three years, spent several hours with his daughter, catching up and trying to heal old wounds. Michael said, “I can’t comment on my relationship with my daughter,” he said. “But [the reunion] was amazing.”

A recovering addict, who spent two years in prison on a variety of charges before getting out in March, Michael has voiced support for his firstborn, who is in her third rehab stint this year and faces her own time behind bars on drunken-diving and cocaine charges.
