Lindsay Lohan discusses the reasons behind shielding her child from public attention
In an exclusive interview with The Times, actress Lindsay Lohan opened up about her decision to move to Dubai with her husband, Bader Shammas, and their two-year-old son, Luai.
The move was primarily driven by a desire to protect Luai from the intense paparazzi and media scrutiny that Lohan faced during her time in Hollywood. Dubai's strict privacy laws, which prohibit taking photos of people without consent in public places, provide a much-needed sanctuary for the family.
Lohan, who experienced a traumatic encounter with paparazzi in the past, is adamant about shielding her son from such experiences. She cherishes the moments with Luai in their normal, safe lifestyle in Dubai, far removed from the spotlight.
The decision to keep Luai away from the public eye is a shared one between Lohan and her husband. They will determine when it is appropriate to introduce him to the world. For now, their focus is on providing Luai with a normal childhood, free from the pressures of fame.
Lohan, who starred in the movie Freakier Friday, has found a new perspective on life. Her focus is no longer on herself but on her family. She prays that Luai never has to endure the same paparazzi traumas she did.
Lohan and her husband welcomed Luai in July 2023. They are grateful for the privacy and peace Dubai offers, allowing them to enjoy their family life without fear of invasive photographers.
