Lindsay Lohan has recently opened up about her departure from Hollywood, revealing that her move was essential for her peace of mind and personal growth. In an exclusive interview with Bustle, the 37-year-old actress shared her struggles with the relentless media attention that overshadowed her early career. More than a decade ago, Lohan left the United States for London and eventually settled in Dubai, where she found love with her husband, Bader Shammas.
Reflecting on her journey, Lohan cited the overwhelming presence of paparazzi as a significant factor in her decision to relocate. She expressed regret that much of her work was often eclipsed by the media frenzy surrounding her. “I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that’s kind of annoying. I wish that part didn’t happen,” she stated in the article published on March 14.
In her quest for solitude and self-discovery, Lohan was also searching for a different type of love — romantic companionship. “I was like, ‘What if I never fall in love? What if this never happens?’” she confessed, emphasizing that it was only by taking time for herself that she was able to find true happiness and fulfillment.

Finding Balance in Life
Throughout her career, Lohan has faced many ups and downs, but she has always prioritized her family. “I’ve always been close with my younger siblings, and I’ve always had a very maternal instinct,” she said. This maternal instinct became even more evident when she welcomed her first child, Luai, nearly a year after marrying Shammas.
Since becoming a mother in July 2023, Lohan has embraced her postpartum body, challenging societal pressures to lose weight quickly. Speaking candidly, she noted the current trend surrounding weight loss and the pressure it brings: “Everyone’s getting so thin now. I feel like everything always comes full circle again, so this is that moment, and this, too, shall pass.”
Through her journey, Lohan has focused on her son, prioritizing her role as a mother over societal expectations. “I was so attached to [Luai] that my last thought was going on a treadmill. I feel like we put so much pressure on ourselves to have to look ‘good’ so soon, but you look so beautiful [postpartum]. Give yourself time,” she advised.
