Lohan toldAllurethat finding out she was pregnant was equally low-key. “It was so unexciting,” she remembered. “I walked into the room, I threw the test down. I was like, ‘Guess what?’ He goes, ‘We are?’ ”

Her father,Michael Lohan, wasequally thrilled. “All I can say is I’m so, so happy for Lindsay and Bader! They will be amazing parents,” he told PEOPLE. “We are all truly blessed in so many ways!”

Though Luai’s actual birthday is unknown, in July 2023, Lohan’s rep confirmed to PEOPLE that she and Shammas’ first child was born. “Lindsay Lohan and her financier husband, Bader Shammas, welcomed a beautiful, healthy son named Luai,” said the rep. “The family is over the moon in love.”

Luai is an Arabic name meaning “shield or protector.” The little one was born in Dubai. Mom Dina flew out as soon as he was born, telling PEOPLE he “came two days” earlier than expected.

“God has truly blessed us all with lil Luai,” mom Dina shared with PEOPLE in August. “As I held Luai, tears of happiness rolled down my cheeks. Lindsay took to her best role ever so naturally … she was always meant to be a mother. Badar [Shammas] took to the role of daddy like a pro as well. They are a perfect team.”

Luai is growing up in a very different environment than his mom did. While Lohan was raised in New York City, she and Shammas are raising Luai in Dubai.

“I guess you would say it happened organically,” Lohan toldAllureof how she ended up in the United Arab Emirates. “Dubai gives me that space to have my own vision of what I need to do next.”

Lohan says even though it’s a bustling city, her life is more peaceful there because she doesn’t have to deal with the same public attention and pressure she did in America. In Dubai, she can provide a more steady schedule and peace for her son.

“Sometimes I call itThe Truman Show, because it’s the same thing every day,” she said. “But I love it. I really love structure, because I didn’t think I had that when I was young.”

Luai already has some very famous friends

Lohan herself thanked Curtis for the support, and shared the sweet gift she sent — a stack of books, including one she wrote herself.

Lohan also felt the love from herParent Trapcostars,Lisa Ann Walter(Chessie in the film) andElaine Hendrix(Meredith). “She looks so happy and so healthy and I’m so thrilled for her,” Walter told PEOPLE, adding that she “knew she wasgoing to be a good mother” and revealed she shared some advice with her via social media.

“She posted something and I think it was about being tired, and I immediately go into that mom mode of ‘nap when he does, make sure you get sleep, it doesn’t matter what you look like — you’re in great shape,’ just all the advice that comes out,” said Walter. “But she’s just doing so well.”
