Lindsay Lohan Welcomes Her First Child at 37 with Husband She Secretly Married: ‘We Are Blessed’

• Lindsay Lohan welcomed her first child with Bader Shammas.
• The Dubai-based couple secretly married.
• Before being a wife and a mother, Lohan got into trouble with the law several times.

“The Parents Trap” star Lindsay Lohan recently became a new mom after she and her husband, Bader Shammas, welcomed their first child, a son named Luai.

A rep for the Hollywood actress revealed the exciting news to Page Six. In a statement released on July 17, 2023, the rep stated the family was thrilled to have the new addition.

“The family is over the moon in love,” the statement read. Lohan reportedly gave birth in Dubai, where she and her beloved spouse reside.

However, it remains unclear when her little one made his arrival into the world as the birth date was not immediately disclosed. Luai is an Arabic name that means “shield” or “protector.”

Amid news of her being a first-time mom, Lohan previously revealed in a November 2022 interview that she desired to become a parent, adding she and her partner had “talked” about whether they would continue living in Dubai once they become parents.

She added her new home is safe and that they have good schools there. Lohan noted that Dubai is “detached” from everything that she is accustomed to, which is refreshing because she now lives in her own world.

The former child star announced she and Shammas were expecting their first baby in March 2023. At the time, her rep revealed, “She is feeling great, and she is thrilled.”

Lohan happily disclosed the exciting news on her Instagram account with a picture of a white baby bodysuit written with the words, “Coming soon.”

The then-mom-to-be posted the same photo on her Instagram Stories and tagged her husband, Shammas. “We are blessed and excited,” she penned in her post then.

Fellow celebrities including actress Amanda Seyfried gushed over the 37-year-old’s social upload and commented that it was “wonderful news.”

In a June 2023 interview, the “Mean Girls” star candidly discussed looking forward to being a parent. She expressed that she could not wait to experience motherhood and how it feels like.

Lohan revealed she has always felt maternal, especially to her siblings. She is the eldest child. However, she noted that what would come with her new role as a mom would be something she had never experienced before.

Naturally, while pregnant, she was overwhelmed with emotions and admitted she cried a lot because of simple gestures or a baby shower. Lohan said it was tears of joy, adding although the feeling was “overwhelming,” it was “in a good way.”

Lohan secretly wed her now-spouse in 2022 in an intimate wedding ceremony. The news came hours before she celebrated her 36th birthday. A rep confirmed the news at the time.

The New York native, who was raised in Long Island, sparked rumors that she had gotten married after she posted an image of her and Shammas on Instagram, gushing about their romance. Lohan said she is one lucky woman:

“He found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time. I am stunned that this is my husband.”

Beloved pals, including media personality Paris Hilton and reality television star Melissa Gorgra, congratulated her in the comments section.

The “Freaky Friday” star crossed paths with the Kuwait-born financier while living in Dubai. Shammas proposed to her in November 2021.

Months after their engagement, an insider revealed that Lohan was now at a place in her life where she could become a parent. The source divulged her initial plans before finding love:

“She wanted a baby before she had met Bader, and she has talked openly about wanting to adopt.”

The said insider further stated that although the singer-songwriter had much love to give, being a mother at that period was not her main priority.

The “Herbie: Fully Loaded” star was reportedly focused on her Hollywood career and relishing the time spent with her 36-year-old significant other, Shammas.

The award-winning actress has come a long way in reaching this point in her life, being a wife and now a mother. She has had a troubled life involving run-ins with the law.

Lohan was previously put in jail back in 2010 after being apprehended for violating the terms of her court case. She was first sentenced to jail in 2007 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor substance abuse use and driving under the influence.

Lohan missed a DUI progress court hearing in May 2010, and a judge ordered a bench warrant for her. She was later released on a $200,00 bail. This came after she attended an awards afterparty, and her ankle bracelet lit up while there.

She was arrested in July of that year for going MIA instead of attending counseling sessions ordered by the court. Lohan was apprehended again in September of that year for failing a drug test. Consequently, the Hollywood star faced multiple charges in 2011 and pleaded no contest to stealing a necklace. In addition, she did more time behind bars.

Lohan’s woes involving law enforcement proved persistent. In November 2012, she was arrested for an alleged assault in New York. Although she was arrested, she was never prosecuted.

However, the movie star spent time in a treatment facility in March 2013. This came after she pleaded no contest to driving recklessly and lying to the police following a car accident.

Lohan‘s woes with the law finally came to a halt for the first time in nearly eight years after she completed her community service, which she was sentenced to after being arrested for reckless driving in 2012.

Since then, the now-mother-of-one has not had any trouble with the law, keeping a low profile. It was only in recent years that she started acting again. She appeared in “Among the Shadows” in 2019 and later starred in the Netflix film, “Falling for Christmas,” alongside Jack Wagner.
