Lindsay Lohan is in her comeback era, and longtime fans couldn’t be happier to see her return to the screen and spotlight. But they’re also thrilled to watch the former child star find love with husband Bader Shammas – and especially because the two recently became parents.
After announcing the couple’s marriage back in July 2022, Lohan revealed on March 14, 2023, that they were expecting their first child together. The news came a few months after the premiere of the actor’s latest movie, Netflix’s holiday flick “Falling For Christmas,” which debuted in November. She’s also set to star in another rom-com soon, titled “Irish Wish.”
The beloved rom-com genre helped launch Lohan to stardom in the ’90s and early 2000s, but by the end of the decade and well into the 2010s, she took a hiatus from acting, retreated from the spotlight, and kept her personal life private.
In 2014, Lohan moved to Dubai, a place that she referred to as a “sacred space” in an interview with Who What Wear in November 2022. “I could do my own thing, and nobody bothered me,” she revealed to the publication. While living in Dubai, Lohan met Shammas, the assistant vice president of Credit Suisse, a global investment bank. While it remains unclear when exactly the two started dating, they were first linked together in February 2020 when Lohan shared a photo on Instagram calling Shammas her boyfriend, though she deleted the post shortly after.
In November 2021, however, Lohan announced her engagement to Shammas on social media, and the two wed later on in 2022. Speaking to Cosmopolitan in October 2022, Lohan raved about her beau, saying, “I have an amazing husband, who’s a very calm person.”
While Lohan and Shammas are very private about their personal lives, there are still a handful of sweet moments that they have shared with the public over the years. Here’s a complete timeline of their relationship milestones.

The two made their joint red carpet debut at the event, and looked happier than ever as they posed for pictures together.
Lohan also appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that same month, where she discussed the Netflix film, the possibility of a “Freak Friday” sequel, and of course, her married life, which the actor was more than happy to talk about. “It’s great. It’s amazing I met my person,” she explained. “You never know if you’re going to find that in life and he’s an amazing guy, man. I love him and we’re a great team.”
