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

Lindsay Lohan [1] is in her comeback era [2], and longtime fans couldn't be happier to see her return to the big screen in Netflix's latest festive movie [3], "Falling For Christmas." The beloved rom-com genre helped launch the "Mean Girls" actor [4] 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 [5] in November 2022. "I could do my own thing, and nobody bothered me," she revealed to the publication.
