Lindsey Lohan, the troubled actress whose run-ins with the law have been quite frequent, would like to visit Israel. In an interview with Ynet.com, Israeli musician Avi Snow, who is reportedly dating the actress, told the website he wasn’t even aware he and Lohan were an item until photos of the two smooching were posted online.

Snow was born in the U.S. and made Aliyah to Israel in his teens. He admitted that he was in fact dating Lohan. “We met through mutual friends, but at first we were just friends,” he told Ynet from New York. “With time it developed […] I’m dating her because she is a great girl.”

Snow said that Lohan  “supports us”–meaning Israel– and that she plans to visit the country. He also reminded Ynet that Lohan was linked to another Israeli, a woman, several years ago.

Snow also dismissed accusations that the relationship was a publicity stunt. “We don’t really pay attention to the paparazzi. I never planned on dating Lindsey Lohan; it just happened,” he said. “Seeing my name in the headlines mostly amuses me, but I do not read (the gossip columns) and it does not do anything for me.”
