Lindsay Lohan, at 38 years old, is all set to celebrate her son Luai's second Christmas. As she shared with Alexa Holiday Fashion 2024 through The New York Post, she cherishes the time spent with her son and husband Bader Shammas in Dubai, where they make their home. Specifically, she delights in the act of wrapping presents. For her son, she opts for fun wrapping papers like dinosaur-themed ones, as it excites him. “Wrapping presents and putting up the tree is what brings me joy during this time,” she continued. She also mentioned that her desire to do everything for her baby has influenced her recent work. “For me, everything revolves around my child, family, and household. I ensure that my work aligns with what's best for everyone else,” she told Alexa Holiday Fashion 2024. After her role in Netflix's Falling for Christmas in 2022, Lohan is back on screens with the streaming service's latest movie, Our Little Secret. In this film, she stars opposite Ian Harding, Kristin Chenoweth, and her Mean Girls costar Tim Meadows. The movie was shot in Atlanta and marked Lohan's first as a working mom. “My son was six months old then, and it was my first time learning how to go to work, be on set, and come back home. Since the place I was staying was close to the filming location, it was almost like a normal day job. I feel truly blessed for that,” she said. Earlier this year, while attending the premiere of the Mean Girls musical movie in New York City, when asked if she considers herself a “cool mom,” Lohan responded with “I hope so,” which was a nod to a line from the original film. Her mother, Dina Lohan, opened up to PEOPLE in 2023, expressing her delight in watching her daughter embrace her new role as a mom. “Watching my oldest daughter with her beautiful son is a memory etched in my heart forever. Lindsay took on this role so naturally. She was always meant to be a mother,” said Dina, who is 62 years old. Our Little Secret is now available to stream on Netflix.
