Lindsay Lohan and Bader Shammas Relationship Timeline

A Complete Timeline of Lindsay Lohan and Bader Shammas's Relationship

Lindsay Lohan is in her comeback era, and longtime fans couldn't be happier to see her return to the big screen in Netflix's latest festive movie, "Falling For Christmas." The beloved rom-com genre helped launch the "Mean Girls" actor to stardom in the 1990s and 2000s, but by the end of the decade and well into the 2010s, Lohan took a hiatus from acting, retreated from the spotlight, and kept her personal life private.

In 2014, she 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 her now-husband Bader Shammas, the assistant vice president of Credit Sussie, a global investment bank. While it is unknown exactly when 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 in 2022. Speaking to Cosmopolitan in October 2022, Lohan raved about her husband, 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.

In February 2020, Lohan shared a picture on Instagram with a group of friends at a Dubai music festival, which featured herself, Lohan's sister, Aliana, and Shammas. According to People, the "Freaky Friday" actor captioned the photo, "@aliana lovely night with sister and my boyfriend bader❤️ such a magical night." This sparked a frenzy among Lohan's many fan followers but not long after, she deleted the post.

It would be over a year before Lohan would publicly post on social media with Shammas again, but by November 2021, the star couldn't help but share exciting news about her engagement. In a series of photos on Instagram, Lohan wrote, "My love. My life. My family. My future. @bader.shammas#love 💍 11.11.21." Following the news, a rep for Lohan told E! News at the time that she and Shammas had been dating for three years and that she was "engaged and happy."

Lohan and Shammas were tackling their wedding plans by February 2022, and the bride-to-be shared some of her ideas in an exclusive interview with Extra. "I'm looking at destinations. I've already started talking to a friend of mine about the dress . . . But I want to do things right and I want to pace everything," she revealed. When asked if she would be a "Bridezilla" type of bride, the actor explained, "I'm definitely not like that. I'm more… low-key… Even on my birthday, I want to make sure everyone else is good. And then I can be okay." During the interview, Lohan also added that she was looking at multiple dresses for the special occasion.

It is unknown exactly when Lohan and Shammas tied the knot, but on 2 July, 2022, Lohan called Shammas her husband for the first time in an Instagram post. Along with a happy selfie of the couple together, she wrote in part, "I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. ❤️every woman should feel like this everyday 🙏💖."

Lohan's first feature film in nine years, "Falling For Christmas," premiered on the 9 Nov. at New York's Paris Theatre, and the star brought none other than her husband to accompany her for the special occasion. 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."
