Lindsay Lohan welcomes first child at age 37 with husband Bader Shammas

Lindsay Lohan, once a beloved child star, experienced a tumultuous period marked by substance abuse issues and stints in rehab. However, she has made a significant turnaround in recent years.

Recently, Lohan announced that she was married and expecting her first child. Today, it has been confirmed that she has given birth to her son. Read on for more details!

Back in March, Lohan shared her pregnancy news by posting a photo of a baby onesie with the words “coming soon” printed on it. “We are blessed and excited,” she expressed on her Instagram. The announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Amanda Seyfried, Lohan’s co-star from “Mean Girls,” commented on the post, calling it “wonderful news.”

Paris Hilton, who is a longtime friend of Lohan, also commented, “Congratulations love! So happy for you. Welcome to the Mommy Club!”

The pregnancy was not a surprise to anyone who has been keeping up with Lohan. The actress said in a November 2022 interview, “I want to have kids,” and how she had “talked” to her husband about whether they will continue living in Dubai when they become parents.

“It’s so safe there, and the schools are great. It’s so detached from everything that I’m used to. … It’s nice to have a separate world that’s my own.”

Lohan first made her relationship with Shammas public in February 2020. In November 2021, Shammas, a financier in Dubai, proposed to the actress and she accepted. She announced their engagement to the world with sweet selfies showcasing her gorgeous ring.

“My love. My life. My family. My future. @bader.shammas #love,” she wrote in her post.

The couple got married quietly in April 2022, and the actress waited until July of the same year to reveal that they had gotten married.
