Michael Lohan says he's 'thrilled' to learn he is set to become a grandfather once again, following Mean Girls actress Lindsay, 36, announcing she is expecting her first child later this year on Instagram earlier today.
The Freaky Friday star, who tied the knot with her husband last year, broke the news by posting a snap of a white baby grow on her Instagram account, with the words 'coming soon' written across the item of clothing.
"We are blessed and excited," a delighted Lindsay captioned the sweet shot to her 12.4million followers.

"She'll make an unbelievable mom."

The former child star's father Michael is thrilled for his daughter and her husband as they prepare to add to their family and says he's known about Lindsay's pregnancy 'for a while'.
Lindsay has experienced a strained relationship with her father over the years but appears to be on good terms with her mum Dina's ex at the moment - with Michael even revealing how his offspring will juggle her career alongside pregnancy and motherhood.
