Lindsay Lohan announces she is pregnant with first child
Lindsay Lohan has announced she is pregnant with her first child.
The Hollywood actress shared the news on social media, saying she is "very excited for our new family member to arrive".
Lohan, 36, and her husband Bader Shammas announced the news to her 12.4 million followers on Instagram.
It has been reported that Lohan recently married the financier after becoming engaged last November.
Alongside a photo of a white baby onesie that reads "coming soon", Lohan wrote: "We are blessed and excited!" and tagged her husband in the post.
Celebrities and fans took to the comments to congratulate the couple.
Lohan's Mean Girls co-star Amanda Seyfried wrote: "This is WONDERFUL News!!"
Other well-wishers included fashion designer Donatella Versace, Canadian-American actress Ayesha Curry, and US filmmaker Nancy Meyers.
Meanwhile, Kathy Hilton, who is the mother of US socialite and businesswoman Paris Hilton, posted a number of heart emojis and added: "I am so happy for you."
Lohan’s breakout role came in the 1998 film The Parent Trap, in which she played estranged twin sisters Hallie Parker and Annie James.
She is also known for a variety of classic noughties films including Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen.
However, the former child star's career suffered at one point following drink-drive arrests and stints in rehab for substance abuse.
In 2007, she was jailed for 90 days by a Californian judge for violating probation in a drug case by failing to attend alcohol education classes.
From 2007 to 2012 Lohan appeared in court more than 20 times over substance abuse struggles.
After a lengthy hiatus, she recently returned to acting and starred in a Netflix movie Falling For Christmas, which came out in November.
The actress, who lives in Dubai, credited her “amazing husband” for being the person she turns to when she needs supporting, adding that he is a “very calm person, just the best”.
