At the time of his untimely death in January 2008, actor Heath Ledger was romantically involved -- in secret -- with Lindsay Lohan. So says her mother, Dina, in an undated, recorded phone conversation with Michael Lohan, her ex-husband and Lindsay's father.

See how Lindsay's face has changed over the years

In a newly revealed recording at Radar, Dina tells Michael that their eldest daughter "was dating Heath when he died . . . I don't know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends, very, very close."

And Ledger's death devastated the actress, now 23. "That f***ed her up," her mother says.

Ledger died at age 28 on January 22, 2008 from an accidental, toxic combination of prescription drugs; he had recently separated from girlfriend, actress Michelle Williams, mother of their daughter Matilda, now 4.

Take a look back at Lindsay's life so far

Understandably, the presence of the self-destructive Brokeback Mountain actor made Dina Lohan nervous for her own child's fate.

"When she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking," she tells her ex-husband on the tape.

She also expresses concerns about Lindsay's then-relationship with Samantha Ronson, and wonders if her daughter has the wherewithal to walk away. "It's very easy for a rational person to say. But for an irrational person who has a problem with her DNA and alcohol and Adderall and asthma and every other things she's got wrong with her."

For her part, Lindsay Lohan has recently criticized her father for leaking other tapes of private phone conversations. "He's disgusting to do this," she wrote on Twitter. "It really hurts my mom for me and my siblings."

(Radar has not confirmed whether Michael Lohan provided this newest recording.)

    ifeel bad for her. She was a good actress. The mother caused the whole colasp of the family. If Lindsey was grounded in Christian principles she would not be where she is today. An her ex-girlfriend just used her and now she is making money hand over fist off Lindsey's fame.

    yea right......how can she be in 2 places at once....the Lohans will say anything to get attention

    Let's consider the source Dina Lohan, this is the same person who lied about being a Rockette, this is the same person who lied about Justin Timberlake's people being interested in representing her other daughter Ali's music career. Lohans go away!!

  • November 11, 2009 - 1:27pm blahblahblah

    Oh please. They probably just did drugs together....to them, getting high was probably more exciting than going on a date with each other.

    OMG What a pitiful thing she is. Nasty. Heath could and did attract much more classy and naturally beautiful women in his life. LL is nothing but a hood rat. I would not believe a thing ANY of the Lohan's say !!!

    I think this is bull. I think Lohan wants to blame Heath for her daughter's issue and is trying to use Heath to make Lindsay some gossip item with Heath since he can't defend himself now.

    THIS LOHAN FAMILY IS NOTHING BUT DYSFUNCTIONAL,MONEY GRUBBING,TRAILER TRASH JUNKIES TRYING TO HOLD ON TO THEIR 15 MINUTES OF FAME.PATHETIC !!!

  • November 10, 2009 - 7:31pm Oh my gosh, you're kidding, right?

    Nobody would even know about Hethen Loeger if not for Lindsay. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ahahahahahahahahahahaha! You're kidding, right? HEATH LEDGER is way more famous that Lindsay could ever be. He's won oscars and academy awards for his acting. He gets put in magazines for the good things he does. Lindsay is famous for rehab and...what else is she famous for? I completely forgot. Really, you're joking right? I hope so, if not then wooooow. You must have the IQ of a grain of sand.

    Geez Lindsay and to think Samantha wants nothing more to do with your crap. Not only did you cheat your a hypocrite.

    GET A FRIGGIN LIFE MOM....like go back to SCHOOL as in HIGH SCHOOL

  • November 10, 2009 - 6:01pm NoDoubt

    Drugs users often make strange bedfellows. Hopefully Lindsay will get her stuff together before she too is dead of a drug overdose.

    Why am I not surprised at this. LL was there on the night Heath died. Her handlers did all they could to keep her out of the reports. The NYPD interviewed her about that night. Now, my biggest question is: Did LL provide Heath with the drugs that killed him? We all know that Lindsay has ALL the rehab centers on her speed-dail...

  • November 10, 2009 - 5:45pm kevin

    I read before he even died they were dating I believe this story

    The parents act like children & live vicarioulsy through their children.... acting like they are the stars & enjoying every minute... not caring how they can get the attention & spot light on themselves at the expense of their children..Hey stupid self centered parents..you are adults..not teenagers...not young adults..not stars.. you are old people that need to act your age & take care of your children..but then again you can't even take care of yourselves..grow up!

  • November 10, 2009 - 5:31pm Dudee
