Another star is having a baby, and this pregnancy is probably the most exciting one yet. Lindsay Lohan, 36, just announced that she is expecting a child. If you thought Lindsay's comeback couldn't get any more powerful after Falling For Christmas, think again. The world is getting another Lohan.
The actress is expecting the baby with her husband Bader Shammas, who she married last year. She even (adorably) tagged him in her announcement on IG.
"We are very excited for our new family member to arrive and we are looking forward to this next chapter of our lives!" Lindsay told TMZ in a pregnancy announcement.
A little Lindsay Lohan—I can't wait. This is going to be the greatest nepo baby of all time. Still need to be brought up to speed? Here's everything to know (so far) about Lindsay's pregnancy.
When did this happen?
Lindsay announced her pregnancy on Instagram on March 14, 2023. She shared the news through the most adorable photo: a picture of a baby's onesie with the phrase "Coming soon" written across the front.
"We are blessed and excited 🙏🤍👶🍼," she wrote in the photo's caption.
Obviously, her post sort of broke the Internet—celebrities and fans alike were sending all the love and congratulations in the comments. Everyone from Bella Thorne to Quinta Brunson was wishing Lindsay congrats—including many celebs who've worked closely with Lindsay.
"This is WONDERFUL NEWS!!!" Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay's former Mean Girls co-star, wrote. Totally agree! The movie queen Nancy Meyers wrote: "Lindsay!!!!! I am so excited for you 😍." Hopefully she'll write a Parent Trap sequel for Lindsay's kid.
Who is Lindsay's husband?
ICYMI, Lindsay is married to Bader Shammas, and he is the father of the child, per Page Six.
The pair got married in July 2022, per PEOPLE. Lindsay also announced their engagement in November 2021 over her Instagram page. "My love. My life. My family. My future," she wrote in the post's caption.
The details of how the pair actually met is under wraps, but the couple has been publicly connected since 2020, when Lindsay posted a now-deleted Instagram photo and referred to Bader as her boyfriend in the caption, per PEOPLE.
Bader reportedly works in finance and lives in Dubai, per PEOPLE. Lindsay has also split her time between Dubai and other places since around 2014, per Esquire Middle East.
Does Lindsay have other children?
Nope! This is Lindsay's first child, which makes it all the more exciting. However, in 2016, Lindsay told Vanity Fair that motherhood was on the horizon for her thirties.
"Making more films, writing my book, starting my charity, working with children a lot. Maybe having some of my own soon—after I get some movies done, first," she told VF of her plans for after turning 30.
While this is her first, it might not be her only kid. In 2018, she reportedly told The Daily Mail that she wants "two or four" children, per Metro. Lindsay has also hinted at adopting children in the past, per Metro.
When is her due date?
Lindsay hasn't announced an exact due date for her baby yet, but typically people announce their pregnancies at the end of their first trimester, or 12 weeks into being pregnant.
If this is the case for Lindsay, then her due date is probably sometime in August or September 2023. Hopefully we'll get more baby bump content in the meantime, but either way it seems like Lindsay is enjoying pregnancy so far.
“She is feeling great and she is thrilled,” Lindsay's rep said of her feelings toward the pregnancy, per Page Six.
I am also thrilled and feeling great for Lindsay!
