Lindsay Lohan is thriving in parenthood, even with her schedule fully loaded.
The Freaky Friday star shared an inside look at her spring, which managed to include time with loved ones and preparation for the summer release of her and Jamie Lee Curtis’ onscreen reunion in Freakier Friday.
And, featured within the carousel of images, was a sweet look at the bond between her husband Bader Shammas and their 21-month-old son Luai. In the image, Luai can be seen crawling towards his dad, who playfully holds a bubble gun in his son’s direction.
A second image shows the back of Luai as he crawls towards a slide on a playground, while a third features a selfie of Lindsay and her brother Dakota Lohan.
The behind-the-scenes look at her home life was juxtaposed with photos of Lindsay out and about working, including a mirror selfie next to a suitcase, one of her holding up a peace sign aboard a plane and another of Freakier Friday costar Jamie Leeflashing the same signal at the camera.
Lindsay simply captioned the April 23 post, alongside a string of emojis, “Lately.”
The photo dump serves as a rare look into the Herbie: Fully Loaded alum’s inner world. In fact, since tying the knot with Bader in 2022 and welcoming their son in July 2023, Lindsay has shared only glimpses of her family life.
But one thing the 38-year-old has been candid about is the adoration she feels for her son.
“In the beginning, I didn’t want to miss a moment,” Lindsay told E! News in June of her postpartum experience. “Even when the baby is sleeping, you tend to become a little stalker.”
Which is partly why she had to learn to incorporate self-care into her motherhood experience.
“I think once you get into a good system, you start to understand that it’s OK to take time,” Lindsay explained. “I need this. I need to feel great in order to be great for my child.”
And it was, in part, the sense of empowerment she experienced in becoming a mother that helped her learn this lesson.
“After giving birth, you realize, as women, how strong we are,” she added. “We forget to give ourselves credit for that. There are moments we should take a break, sit down and stop and think about all of the things we do and how much power we have. I’ve learned that this past year more than I knew before.”
For a closer look at Lindsay and Bader’s journey together, and their road to welcoming Luai, keep reading.
