Lindsay Lohan gave fans a rare glimpse at her family life in Dubai as she celebrated her husband Bader Shammas’s 40th birthday on Wednesday.
Taking to Instagram, the former child star, 39, shared a slideshow featuring photos of herself with the handsome financier as well as of him with their son Luai, two.
The couple tied the knot in 2022 – eight years after she moved from Los Angeles to Dubai to escape her chaotic Hollywood lifestyle.
Lohan gave birth to their only child in 2023 and he will turn three next month.
In Wednesday’s birthday post, Lohan called Shammas her ‘favorite person’ while thanking him for the ‘life we’ve built together.’
‘You’re an incredible husband, the most loving father, and the kind of friend everyone hopes to have in their life,’ the star wrote.

‘The way you love and care for our family, and the joy you bring to Luai every day, means more than words can ever say.
‘Thank you for the life we’ve built together, for your strength, your loyalty, and for always believing in our future.’
Lohan ended the heartfelt post by telling Shammas how ‘lucky’ she and Luai are to have him in their lives.
‘I love you endlessly. Happy Birthday,’ she concluded, followed by a red heart-emoji.

Lohan’s post earned nearly 50,000 ‘likes’ from her 16.2 million followers on Wednesday.
She opened up about her ‘very normal life’ in Dubai with her family while appearing on Live With Kelly and Mark last year.
She said she loves that she is now ‘far away from Hollywood.’
‘There’s no worry of like, “I can’t go eat at this place because someone’s gonna take a picture of my son,”‘ he told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos. ‘I feel very safe.’
She explained that paparazzi-style photography is illegal in Dubai.

‘You can’t take a picture of someone else if you’re in a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here.’
Lohan moved to Dubai in 2014 after spending all of her life living in major United States cities like New York and Los Angeles.
And while she mostly feels ‘safe’ in Dubai, Lohan and her family suffered a scare in March when Iran launched retaliatory strikes on the country.
A source confirmed to TMZ at the time that Lohan, Shammas and Luai were OK in wake of the attacks.
Lohan also took to Instagram Stories at the time to refer to the events in question. She wrote, ‘Praying for peace. Stay safe everyone. God bless us all.’
Lohan and Shammas first crossed paths in 2020 – six years after she made her move to the United Arab Emirates.
They got engaged in November 2021 and the couple exchanged vows in the summer of 2022.
Lohan welcomed their firstborn son in July 2023, with a rep telling E! News at the time that the couple ‘is over the moon in love.’
In regards to possibly having more kids in the future, Lohan told Elle last year that sometimes she thinks Luai ‘needs a kid to play with’; Lohan seen in May
Last year, Lohan was asked if she and Shammas had any plans to expand their family.
She admitted to Elle that sometimes she thinks Luai ‘needs a kid to play with.’
She also stressed the importance of growing up with siblings, being that she has six of her own.
‘There’s nothing like that. Also, I don’t know if it’s selfish – but I’m like, “I need more than one kid to take care of me when I’m older.”‘
