I actually had to sit here and think for a minute to remember if Lindsay Lohan has ever been married. She has not, although she has been engaged previously and she’s obviously been involved with married men before, much to the chagrin of their wives. But now Lindsay is in a stable relationship – I GUESS?? – and her dude proposed recently. The dude’s name is Bader Shammas and he works at Credit Suisse. Which makes me wonder if this is some kind of long con involving Lohan hacking into Credit Suisse and stealing money from Swiss accounts. Congrats to her, either way.
Lindsay Lohan has a lot to celebrate! That’s because the Mean Girls actress announced her engagement to fiancé Bader Shammas early Sunday morning, PEOPLE confirms.
“My love. My life. My family. My future,” Lohan, 35, wrote on Instagram while showing off her new engagement ring.
The “Rumors” singer and Shammas can barely contain their smiles in the carousel of four photographs. Lohan’s engagement ring can be seen in all four shots.
Shammas is the Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse in Dubai, where Lohan has called home for the last seven years. They have been dating for two years, according to The Independent.
This marks Lohan’s second engagement. She was previously set to wed Russian millionaire Egor Tarabasov before their split in 2016.
Page Six’s experts said the ring is from Harry Winston and it’s probably a six-carat stone. Which sounds surprisingly normal and nice for Lindsay. A bit shocked that Lindsay is 35 years old now – there were so many days where we did not believe she would make it to 27. In recent years, she has been a lot quieter, and I believe she’s lived in Dubai full-time for the better part of four or five years. She likes the energy there, the tax haven, the wealthy benefactors. It’s not surprising she ended up with a banker.

All the best to Lindsay.
Agreed! She looks so happy and healthy. May she find continued happiness.
She has lost her mind. She’s been getting money from these people like she sells her body for it. I can’t forget that one video where she tried to take kids away from the parents and had that weird accent.
And she was a terrible actress. Always.
So I root for her as a human being. But let’s not forget she couldn’t act . And this dude is probably scamming her. It’s like 2003 over there. She’s there because she is still famous.
I hope it works out for her! Having a spouse with a job is a good start.
Godspeed.
I used to wonder how someone young could have a position like that in an institution like that…then I realized that this is just rich people connecting with rich people.
For what it’s worth AVP is not a senior title at all. I haven’t looked up how old this guy is but I would guesstimate purely on the title alone that he in his late 20s. 30 at most. If he’s older than 30 then he is not doing well promotion wise.
The titles sound fancy shmancy but it’s just bank speak for “worked for us for approx 5-7 years”.
Oh and one more thing… I’m guessing he works for CS wealth management? That would make the most sense (it’s really what they’re known for. Their IB is not so great). So that means he’s a private banker most likely. To be a private banker at a top 3 bank in a large city you have to have the right pedigree, whether that be your family or you went to the right school, etc. So yeah, he probably comes from a well-connected family, although if he’s working at a bank (not family company, not private equity, etc) and is only an AVP it’s not *that* rich of a family.
Sorry if the above is super boring. I just thought it might provide a bit of context.
@Beanie, That was very informative & good info to have! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for pointing that out. I was an AVP at a large American bank and all it meant was that you were decent at your job and at a particular salary level. We actually had HR titles and ‘banker’ titles – Officer, AVP, VP, Sr VP, etc. The only one that really meant anything was Executive VP, but most of those people had titles like CIO.
When I look into Emma Stone’s career I can’t help but think that should have been Lidnsey Lohan. I always thought of Stone as the carbonate replacement for Lindsey in Hollywood. I wish Lohan would have figured things out when she became an adult she was one of my favorite actresses when she was young.
I agree, definitely. She could have been the star that Emma became.
Seconded. I think she had the potential to be a great actress. That being said, I can’t imagine she isn’t living her best life, what with being half way around the world away from her parents. I get she was an adult for a lot of her shenanigans, but I think her parents just simply doomed her, tbh. A father who taped their conversations to sell to the media, and a mother doing key bumps in the bathroom at her events. And those are just the two most recent things that popped in my mind. If she had the type of support system other young actresses had (or at a minimum wasn’t drug down by a variety of parasites of various walks of life), she would have thrived.
I agree with all of you.
I saw Bobby a while ago, and she was really good.
@REA 💯 agree!
I hope it works out for her. I was happy to see she’s with a guy who has an actual job and he isn’t just some rich dude she met on the party circuit.
Congrats. This is lovely news
Well…congrats…and we will see I guess? 🤷♀️
I suppose I’m just a bit curious that this happens just as her Nextflix Christmas movie (one of like 147 movies Netflix is putting out) is about to debut. Coincidence I’m sure.
In all seriousness, if this is even remotely legitimate it is probably the best outcome for her. Kept woman of a rich husband. I suppose the only question is how much of her family he ends up financially supporting. 😬
The movie won’t be released until 2022 at the earliest. It’s supposed to be filming November 8-December in 15 in Salt Lake City. Not sure how that squares with being in Dubai right now, but who knows with her. If history is any indication, her work ethic isn’t great and I’ll be surprised if this actually happens.
But Netflix has enough money to take a chance and force this over the finish line one way or another.
She looks healthier in those Instagram photos and less surgically manipulated. I hope she is happy.
Randomly my friend waited on her table recently at a bar, she said she was sober and a total sweetheart, also that she looked really good.
A bar in Dubai?? Or was this in NYC/London? IDK why I’m curious about her movements. Like if she’s really full time in Dubai or spending lots of time in her usual haunts. Dubai would feel so outrageously hot and isolated to me.
You spend most of your time indoors I’d wager!
It was in NYC, she took pics with the waitresses, apparently tipped really well and was generally normal and nice. I was just surprised by how fresh and nice she looked- like Julianne Moore!
What is a rich guy with a stable job doing marrying into the Lohans? Aside from Lindsay, because I hope that under all those drugs, alcohol and Botox she has something going on for her, but having Dina as an in-law? He should secure all he has in a vault under the sea with orcas as guards, because a prenup won’t be enough :O
Thank you for the laugh. Orcas 😂😂😂
I laughed too. But seriously..
Good for her. I feel like she used to have a lot of tattoos on her fingers. Did she have them removed? It always looked like she needed to wash her hands.
For both of their sakes, I hope this is a happy next step forward. I always worried about Lindsay as she turned up in different places seemingly randomly. Hopefully, this stability will be good for her & they’ll be good for each other.
Is she truly has turned her life around, I think the best thing is to wish for the best for her. Anyone who truly has the balls to look at their raw and true self in the mirror and all the mistakes and messed up things they’ve done and take accountability, and change it around, while it is rare those are the type of people that I like to see make something of themselves and achieve the happiness they were erroneously looking for in doing all the messed up crap they did in the past.
I agree & feel like this might turn out okay. One can hope.
This post is so mean spirited. I know it’s a gossip blog thing, but wow.
Is any of it false, though?
Nope. And there was a shit-ton of speculation whether she would be the next celebrity who did not make it to 27 after Amy Winehouse died. Lohan was a MESS publicly on the regular. With her apparent escorting and drunkenly adopting a bad foreign accent (and making up words in a foreign language, IIRC) and harassing immigrants. She was really gross.
Congrats for her, hope she’s in a better place emotionally and mentally.
I wish her and her fiance’ the best.
I am really rooting for her. I grew up alongside her movies and I still enjoy watching them. She was problematic for a long time, I am hoping that she evened out and hopefully we can have more LL movies in the future. She looks so good in those pictures from IG. Good luck to her and her fiancé.
Does no one remember when she affected an accent and harassed a family of immigrants, accusing the adults of kidnapping the children and then trying to take said children before being smacked by the adult woman (mother.) ? No? No one?
A lot of these famous white racist ladies are getting a pass around these parts.
I remember. And she doesn’t get a pass from me. But given her issues with addiction, one can really only wish two things for her: sobriety or death.
I dont wish anyone ill but yeah she also tried to blame her DUI on a random black person.
Paris Hilton is another one who gets a pass around here apparently.
Yes. I understand that Lindsay is an addict and has been struggling for some time. Good for her that she seems to be on a happier and healthier track. I also know that her family is such a messy ass mess that she almost didn’t have a chance. But the way she and Paris have shit of people without the privilege’s they benefit from just for being white women is disgusting.
Girls yes the amount of people that turn a blind eye and suddenly develop amnesia on this post is astonishing, then what to claim to be “allies”
Oh, it’s not just this post, it’s all over. People blindly worship celebs and will find any reason to excuse them of crap behavior. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
IDK who/what made her go to Dubai, but it was the best thing for her. Got her away from her usual drug haunts/friends….I haven’t heard anything about her mother or sister – are they with her?
Dubai isn’t exactly sleepy Montecito. There are plenty of poor choices to be made in a place like that by a marginally famous woman desperate for money and fame. Falling out of a car at Nobu after a coke bender with Paris is pretty small potatoes compared to shady Russian oligarchs and years of unknown middle east money sources.
Dubai is pretty much known for its reputation and yacht girl. Lindsay might get a huge salary for basically not doing much but some that come here.. I tell this as a Slavic woman who have a reputation of escorts.
I wish her luck. I know she did some things that were awful. But…those parents of hers. Seeing Britneys treatment ( NOT saying these women are alike) it opened my eyes to the horrors o young people in Hwood and the parents who abused them. And yes, Lindsay was talented.
I think both can be true.
We shouldn’t give Lindsay a pass for her racism, which is heinous.
Lindsay’s parents are also truly horrific. I can’t even imagine. The stage mom forcing her to get roles because she was supporting her family, her dad getting arrested on the set of Parent Trap, the undeniable trauma of being a harassed starlet as a teenager in the 2000’s, predatory older men she dated, her dad assaulting her…
It is genuinely surprising she is alive and has maybe found some semblance of stability. We really fail child stars and continue to do so.
Obviously, her family and Hollywood were a complete disaster for her. Toxic.
Moving on seems like a good choice and she seems to have landed on her feet. So, Mazeltov.
I wish her all the best. Child star, with that family, the deck was stacked against her. She did a lot of shitty things that are well documented, but its also understood that she’s had to debase herself significantly to get by since then. If she’s been able to turn shit around and restart a productive and healthy life, all power to her.
People do a lot of bad things under the influence of drugs and alcohol. People are still allowed to go to rehab and clean up. They regret the horrible things they did or may not even remember. She cleaned up deserves a second chance in life. Not all addicts are that lucky. I hope this marriage works out for her.
Why do people keep applauding celebrities that they call Down to earth and normal…ots just a job. I am in hell at the moment and I tip well and should I be amazing for this?
Its.a.job.
It’s the least people should do when they have money.
