Never one to shy away from a quote, Michael Lohan has confirmed that he's close to marrying long-time girlfriend Erin Muller.

"We picked out a ring, but it's not official," the father of Ali and Lindsay told E!, addiing that Muller has accepted his proposal, but the couple is waiting for "some family issues [to be] resolved" before the official announcement is made.

What family issues, you may be wondering?

Well, there's still the issue of whether or not Lohan is the father of Ashley Kaufmann, an allegation that surfaced earlier this year.

"We're waiting for the paternity test," Michael said, giving Muller just the tiniest glimpse of the life in store for her.
