For a while now, celebrity bloggers have been wondering about the copious amount of Lindsay Lohan photos shot by controversial fashion photographer Terry Richardson. They now have an answer: they had an affair.

Radar Online has learned that the 25-year-old star and Richardson recently enjoyed a “steamy” night together, and she's now actively pursuing him to get him to see a relationship would work out just fine.

Lindsay and Terry have known each other for years and, what's more, she's been carrying a torch for him all along.

They became closer acquaintances a few years ago, when Lindsay posed for him at the infamous Chateau Marmont in LA and, just recently, they also hooked up for a night.

“Lindsay and Terry have been friends for years. And she’s always had a thing for him. Lindsay thinks he’s really cool and hip and could be great for her career,” an unnamed insider is quoted as saying for Radar.

“They had a major night of passion after they worked on this photo shoot together and now she’s going all out to get her claws into him,” the source adds.

Unfortunately for the legally troubled star, Richardson is not looking for anything in the long run.

“But Terry is just not interested in pursuing a relationship with Lindsay and totally regrets hooking up with her. Lindsay has been texting and phoning him nonstop and he’s actually kind of freaked out by how strong she’s been coming on to him; it’s all pretty unseemly,” says the spy.

Lohan is desperate and Terry doesn't like it one bit.

“As Terry said, there’s nothing more unattractive than a desperate woman. It’s a difficult situation though as they move in the same circles and have a lot of mutual friends. He’s trying to work out a way to let her down gently without blowing their friendship,” the insider explains.

Aside from posing for Richardson, whose name is linked to various, very serious scandals in the fashion world, Lindsay has also been keeping busy lately hosting Saturday Night Live and plotting her comeback to movies.

As she said in the many interviews she's done these past couple of weeks, she's determined to show the world she's more than just “Lindsay Lohan – troublemaker”: she's also an actress.
