Four years after Lohan and her future husband began dating, the duo are now parents! Mr. and Mrs. Shammas got engaged in 2021 and married a year later.
The baby boy was born in the couple's home base of Dubai, as The Blast previously reported. A representative for the actress confirmed his birth per an announcement from Page Six.
"The family is over the moon and in love," the statement read.
The meaning of Luai translates from Arabic and symbolizes as "protector" or "shield."
"The Parent Trap" alumna announced her pregnancy via Instagram on March 14, 2022. In the caption of a post featuring a "coming soon" sign, the mama-to-be described the happy couple as feeling "blessed and excited."

Life as a new mama gave Lohan some time to reflect. The actress took an honest look at navigating her postpartum body. In a pic showing off her new body, she spoke to her Instagram followers about how she felt.
"I am so proud of what this body was able to accomplish during these months of pregnancy, and now, recovery," Lohan wrote. The actress has also been honest in the past about suffering a miscarriage and shared the personal details in the OWN documentary "Lindsay" from 10 years ago.
"No one knows this," Lohan admitted, "...but I had a miscarriage for the two weeks I took off," she said.
The "Herbie Fully Loaded" actress has expressed that she struggles with seeing that version of herself on film. Of looking back, Lohan recalled, "It's a very long story. I was sick. And mentally that messes with you. And watching this series, I just know how I felt at that moment, and I can relate to that girl, which sounds kinda crazy. But I'm like, oh my god, this is really sad, who is helping her?"

The new mama said, "I'm still trying to decide what I want him to wear, but my problem is I always buy so many costumes," to People. "And he's still at the age where I can just make him wear five different things because I just want all those photo memories."
