NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The now-married Lindsay Lohan discussed the momentous Bader Shammas proposal on 'The Drew Barrymore Show'. The 36-year-old actress discussed her married life with Ross Mathews on November 15, who is guest co-hosting 'The Drew Barrymore Show' with 50 Cent as Drew Barrymore recovers from Covid-19.

The 'Falling for Christmas' star said, "He proposed to me on the set of 'Falling for Christmas'. Not on the set but off set while we were filming and I had to not tell anyone because I didn't want it to distract from our work and stuff so I was holding in that I was engaged, and I'm getting engaged in the movie." Lohan pointed out the irony and added, "I was like, 'I can't do this anymore.'" The 'Mean Girls' star had gotten engaged to Shammas in November 2021.

Here's a look at newly-married Lindsay Lohan's love life, from Harry Morton to Samantha Ronson

The 'Herbie: Fully Loaded' star claimed that she had known that she would marry Shammas because she could sense their connection. Lohan even acknowledged that she is quite "protective" of her relationship with the 35-year-old investor, which makes her hesitant to discuss it in public.



 

Lohan was able to gain popularity by playing the lead in a number of rom-com movies in the 1990s and 2000s. But she ceased performing by the end of the decade and far into the early 2010s, withdrew from the public eye, and maintained a low profile. Lohan has surprisingly regained the spotlight by playing the lead in the newest holiday movie on Netflix, 'Falling For Christmas'. The plot of this film revolves around Lohan's character, an engaged heiress who suffers from amnesia after suffering a skiing accident. Her recovery is handled by the lodge's proprietor (Chord Overstreet) and his daughter (Olivia Perez).



 

How did Lindsay Lohan and Bader Shammas meet?

Lohan relocated to Dubai in 2014, well after she had begun to maintain a low profile. In an interview with Who What Wear in November 2022, Lohan described the location as a "sacred space." She stated, "I could do my own thing, and nobody bothered me."



 

Lohan first met her now-husband Bader Shammas, an assistant vice president at the international investment bank Credit Sussie, while she was residing in Dubai. Although it is unclear exactly when the two started dating, they were initially associated in February 2020 when Lohan posted a picture on Instagram referring to Shammas as her boyfriend before quickly deleting the image.

Lohan publicly announced her engagement to Shammas on social media in November 2021, and the two eventually got married in 2022. 'The Parent Trap' star stated, "I have an amazing husband, who's a very calm person," as she gushed about her marriage in an interview with Cosmopolitan in October 2022.
