The suggested collection of names included Zac Efron, Max George and Justin Timberlake, but sources say that Lindsay, 27, refrained from revealing the name of the famous sportsman ‘because he is married.’
A source told a UK newspaper: “There were some names blocked out of the full list of her 36 lovers. The footballer was one of them.
“Lindsay met him while out on the party scene. She thought he was pretty hunky and became quite fond of him.”
According to the source, the unnamed footballer would be ‘mortified if this came out’ because he is married with children, and ‘his wife likes to live a far quieter life than Lindsay.”
According to reports, Lindsay wrote the name of the footballer on a piece of paper and gave it to a friend, but it was not included when the full list was published for legal reasons.
There is apparently an additional list to the one that was published, but half of those cannot be named as they are also married.
The source continued: “Lindsay loves clubbing, and is always in the VIP areas at exclusive venues so she was bound to bump into a flash premier league star. She definitely like this one.”
The actress recently completed a successful stint in rehab and her journey to getting her life back on track has been documented in new reality show Lindsay, backed by Oprah Winfrey.
