Truly thought Lindsay Lohan had peaked when she blessed us with her forever-iconic “This is how you throw a party in Mykonos, bitch!” video—but I think we can all agree that the past year has somehow managed to be even more iconic. Not only did the legendary Parent Trap actor appear in my personal fav Netflix Christmas rom-com, but she and her husband Bader Shammas just welcomed a baby!!!!
And in case this is all 🤯 news to you because you literally had no idea LiLo was even dating (shame on you, tbh), both she and Bader have actually been together for a while, so this bb news is no doubt going to bring them even closer. That said, Lindsay and Bader are pretty low-key about their romance, so the time has come to get to know him better via a casual internet deep dive.
Lindsay's Husband Has a Super Fancy Job
Bader is the assistant vice president at Credit Suisse in Dubai, which is where Lindsay has lived for the past nine years. Meanwhile, Bader’s been based out of Dubai for the past six years, so they presumably met some time in that window.
Yes, He’s on Social Media
But no, you can’t follow him. Lindsay tagged Bader in her engagement announcement way back in 2021, but he is private on Insta and has less than 1,000 followers as of writing this. Although feel free to send him a follow request if you feel so inclined! Good luck!
He Went to School in Florida
According to his LinkedIn (which we *def* got to snoop around before it got deactivated), Bader got degrees in mechanical engineering and finance at the University of South Florida and the University of Tampa.
He and Lindsay Have Been Dating Forever
Lindsay’s rep confirmed to E! News in November 2021 that, at the time, the couple had been together for three full years—aka 5 years as of now—, which I think we can all agree is a lifetime for celebs. Her rep also confirmed that LiLo was “engaged and happy” when the news broke, which yay!
Meanwhile, a source previously told The Sun that an engagement was was totally expected for these two: “Lindsay’s relationship with Bader is going strong,” the insider mused. “She has been with him for about two years now. He is a legitimate guy. He’s not an actor, he’s not in the entertainment industry, he manages funds for high net worth people at Credit Suisse. They’ll get married at some point. She is 34. It’s just a matter of time.”
Guess this source was right because...
They Got Married in July 2022
And it seems as though Lindsay herself delivered the news by way of a simultaneous birthday tribute to her “husband.” S'cute!
“🎂❤️🥰I am the luckiest woman in the world. You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time. I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. ❤️every woman should feel like this everyday 🙏💖,” the actor captioned the stunning pic of herself and Bader:
Her Family Approves
On top of Lindsay’s younger brother Dakota commenting “My best friends!!!” on her engagement pic, we also know Lindsay’s sister Aliana has spent time with Bader. LiLo herself posted a photo of them together with the caption “@aliana lovely night with sister and my boyfriend Bader such a magical night.” She’s since deleted the pic, but trust! It was cute!
They Welcomed a Baby Together in July 2023
Yep, you read that right! The couple officially welcomed their baby boy together according to a July 17 report by People. Bb LiLo's actual name is Luai, which means "shield or protector" in Arabic. He was born in Dubai, though his exact birthdate hasn't been made public.
According to one of Lindsay's reps, the new parents are "over the moon in love" with the newest addition to their lil family. BRB, grabbing tissues as congrats are in order for the screen queen and her man. 🥹🤧
In March 2023, the actor shared the major news on Instagram with an image of a tiny onesie (amazing pic choice, tbh) with the words “coming soon” inscribed on it. “We are blessed and excited! 🙏🤍👶🍼,” she wrote in the caption.
Truly have never been so amped about anything in my life, other than one day attending a party in Mykonos. Anyway, sending tons of congratulations to Lindsay and Bader! Gonna go ahead and manifest her inking a deal with Netflix to film a reality show or something, BRB.
