Lindsay Lohan and husband Bader Shammas enjoy a rare date night with romantic dinner at West Hollywood’s celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont
Lindsay Lohan and her husband Bader Shammas enjoyed a romantic dinner for two at the posh Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Saturday.
The couple, who are rarely spotted together, were first spotted on their date night as they drove to the valet parking of the hotel and restaurant – a celebrity hotspot with a rich Hollywood history and folklore dating back to 1927 – in their silver Land Rover Defender.
The actress had a big smile on her face as she sat in the passenger seat when they arrived and were greeted by two valets.
After starting filming for the highly anticipated Freaky Friday sequel with co-star Jamie Lee Curtis on June 24, it appears Lohan has been taking advantage of some downtime to spend with her man.
Needing some alone time – after a joint visit to Disneyland earlier this month – the couple decided to leave their one-year-old son Luai at home.

Lohan, 38, appeared to wear a light-colored summer ensemble for their night out, wearing her ginger locks long and straight, well past her shoulders with a center parting.
Shammas, 36, had a stern look on his face and wore a stylish dark jacket, short dark hair and a well-kept beard.
Moments later, the Kuwaiti resident got out of the driver’s seat to allow the parking attendant to park.
He walked over to his wife of one year and the two then walked inside the famous establishment, which has been a favorite spot for celebrities and well-known people for decades.
While many actors have stayed at the hotel residence for nearly a century, it has also been used as a location for feature films, including those by Sofia Coppola, who filmed the majority of Somewhere in 2010.
The hotel also appears in the Academy Award-winning film La La Land (2016), as well as in the most recent versions of A Star Is Born (2018), The Doors (1991), Dangerous Game (1993), Laurel Canyon (2003), Maps To The Stars (2014), The Night Walker (1964), The Strip (1951), Myra Breckinridge (1970) and Blume In Love (1973).
After starting a relationship in February 2020, Lohan announced on her Instagram page in late 2021 that she and Shammas were engaged.
While it’s not entirely clear how and when she first met the Credit Suisse financier, they both have roots in Dubai, where Lohan has lived since 2014.
After becoming romantically involved in February 2020, Lohan and Shammas tied the knot in April 2022; the couple was spotted at an Oscars party in LA last March

They eventually got married in April 2022 and in July of that year, she called Shammas her husband on social media.
July 2023 also marks the day the couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Luai, which means “shield or protector” in Arabic, the official language of Dubai.
According to several media, such as People and his LinkedIn profile, which states that he is “a leading financial services firm advising clients worldwide on all aspects of finance 24 hours a day.”
Lohan continues her career revival by filming Freaky Friday 2 for over a month now.
Lohan and Curtis decided to celebrate the first day of filming by sharing a photo of themselves sitting in front of each other’s trailers, and a video clip of them striking various poses while laughing.
“The Colemans are back and coming to theaters in 2025! The Freaky Friday sequel is now in production!” they shared in the caption.
It’s been 21 years since fans last saw Curtis return to the role of Tess Coleman and Lohan as Tess’ eldest daughter Anna Coleman.
