Lindsay Lohan’s Rare Parenting and Motherhood Quotes: ‘It’s a Learning Process’

Lindsay Lohan has learned a lot since giving birth to her and husband Bader Shammas’ son, Luai, in July 2023.

Lohan opened up about how becoming a mom has shifted her perspective on her acting career in March 2024.

“I want to do things that my son can see. But I also want to do things that inspire me,” she told E! News at the time. “It’s a learning process – I’m having a different go at it. Figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it.”

Lohan went on to explain how she’s grateful Luai is “young” so she can “bring him everywhere” with her, even to set.
