Lindsay Lohan Reveals Privacy Laws Behind Move From Hollywood to Dubai

Lindsay Lohan has chosen to live in Dubai since 2014 primarily due to the city's strict privacy laws, which offer her and her family a much quieter and safer life compared to Hollywood. She explained during a recent appearance on "Live with Kelly and Mark" that photography without permission is illegal in Dubai, a stark contrast to the persistent paparazzi culture she faced in the U.S. This privacy has allowed her to enjoy normal activities without fear of being photographed, especially protecting her young son. Lohan married financier Bader Shammas in 2022, and they welcomed their son, Luai, in 2023. After years of intense media scrutiny, Lohan is making a gradual return to acting, promoting the upcoming sequel "Freakier Friday," which reunites her with Jamie Lee Curtis and is set for release in August 2025. The move to Dubai has been widely viewed as a positive step for her personal well-being and recovery from the pressures of fame.
