Michael Lohan and Kate Major are engaged and plan to wed by the end of the year.

Major, 27, made headlines last year when she left her job as a reporter with STAR magazine because of a romance with Jon Gosselin.

Now Major has set her sights on another man who could go up against Gosselin as the world’s worst dad, Michael Lohan, 49.

“Yes, we’re engaged,” Kate told RadarOnline.com. “Michael and I have been talking about it over the last two weeks but we didn’t want to say anything about it because he wanted to ask my father’s permission.”

Lohan also confirmed the engagement to PEOPLE. “I’m ecstatic. I’ve never met anyone who’s been there for me like Kate. She’s always been there for me,” he said.

“The one thing about Kate is that she doesn’t come with baggage,” Lohan told the mag.

Nice Michael, because you have plenty to spare.
