Michael Lohan wants Dina back

Michael Lohan wants to get back with his ex-wife Dina.

The showbiz patriarch - the father of actress Lindsay Lohan - has reportedly been telling people that he wants to reunite with the mother of his children because he feels their divorce in 2007 is to blame for the 'Machete' star's recent troubles.

A production source on 'Dr Drew's Celebrity Rehab' - on which Michael is appearing on as he undergoes treatment for "anger issues" - says he has been open about his wish to reconcile with Dina, with whom he also has three other children, Ali, 17, Cody, 14, and 23-year-old Michael Jr.

The source said: "Michael has been revealing that he wants to get back together with Dina. It's a shocking revelation, to say the least. Michael feels that Lindsay's troubles are because of his divorce with Dina. Michael wants his family back.

"Michael is realistic that too much may have happened and that it will probably never transpire, but he says he loves Dina, even after all of the bad blood that's been split."

He even has hopes that his family will come to a 'graduation day' planned this Sunday (27.03.11) to mark the end of his time on the VH1 show, but it is unlikely Dina and the kids will show up.

The source told RadarOnline.com: "Michael would love it if Dina, Lindsay, Michael Jr., Cody and Ali all came. He is doubtful that will happen though because they refused to participate in 'Family Day', which was last weekend."

Michael and his ex-wife have rowed publicly in the past, with Dina often accusing him of failing to pay child support for Ali and Cody and telling the media that Lindsay refuses to talk to him.

However he has denied this, insisting that he is talking to his famous daughter every day.

Lindsay has until Friday (25.03.11) to decide whether to accept a plea bargain for six months jail time after she was accused of grand theft felony in relation to a $2,500 necklace.
