Lindsay Lohan, her spouse and their son are safe amid ongoing Iranian strikes on Dubai, where they live.
The actress and her husband, Bader Shammas, as well as their toddler, Luai, are OK in the wake of the retaliatory strikes aimed at the city, where Lohan has resided for more than a decade, a source told TMZ Sunday.
She took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to refer to the events in question. She wrote, ‘Praying for peace. Stay safe everyone. God bless us all.’
Lohan and businessman Shammas, both 39, first crossed paths in 2020, before getting engaged in November 2021. The couple exchanged vows in the summer of 2022 and welcomed their firstborn son in July 2023.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Lohan’s representative for further comment.
The Parent Trap alum spoke with Vogue Arabia last week about her romance with Shammas, saying they ‘have a great balance’ with one another personality-wise.
‘We’re so good together because he’s so calm and I’m like a firecracker,’ she said. ‘Being in Dubai is very grounding.’
Lohan added, ‘I get to just spend time with my family. The city gives me a sense of being with what’s most important.’
The update came as Iran continued firing missiles at Israel and Arab states Monday; and the war expanded to include militias Tehran backs in the Middle East with an attack by Hezbollah on Israel (which struck back against the group in Lebanon and with the United States pounded targets in Iran).
As the American and Israeli airstrikes kept hitting the country, top Iranian security official Ali Larijani said on X: ‘We will not negotiate with the United States.’
President Donald Trump, who a day earlier had encouraged Iranians to ‘take over’ their government, signaled Sunday that he was open to dialogue with Iran’s new leadership.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister suggested earlier that military units were acting independently from any central government control after being pressed about attacks on Gulf Arab nations that have served as intermediaries for Tehran in the past.
More than 200 people have been killed since the start of the strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior leaders, Iranian leaders have said.
The violence was impacting economic issues, as the United Arab Emirates shut down the country’s main stock exchanges for the start of the trading week as the regional war intensified.
The country’s Capital Market Authority said the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and Dubai Financial Market would be closed Monday and Tuesday.
It says it will closely monitor the regional situation and take any further steps as necessary.
Another market, the Nasdaq Dubai, also said it was halting trading both days.
Dubai is the Gulf’s main business hub, though the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi is also an important regional financial center and home to some of the world’s biggest sovereign wealth funds.
The benchmark index for the Saudi Exchange, the region’s largest stock market, fell 2.2 per cent on Sunday.
