The couple are expecting their first child
Lindsay Lohan has announced she is pregnant with her first child, leaving many eager to know more about her husband, Bader Shammas.
Actress Lindsay Lohan has hit the headlines after she announced on Instagram that she is expecting her first child. The news comes two years after Lohan announced she was engaged in November 2021, and six moths after it was revealed that she'd tied the knot.
While the exciting announcement has seen fans of the Mean Girls star flock to her Instagram page, many are also curious to know more about the father. Though Lindsay Lohan has been in a relationship with Bader Shammas since at least 2020, not much is known about her other half.
Who is Bader Shammas?
Bader Shammas is a financier at investment banking firm Credit Suisse. He is originally from Kuwait, but he studied in the United States and now lives in Dubai.
From 2007 to 2010, Shammas went to the University of South Florida where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering, after which he attended the University of Tampa to get his Bachelor of Science in finance from 2010 to 2012. This led him to work at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, before entering his role with Credit Suisse in 2018.
