“I'm definitely not like that. I'm more low-key. Even on my birthday, I want to make sure everyone else is good. And then I can be okay. So, I'll be more like that. I'm looking at destinations. I've already started talking to a friend of mine about the dress. But I want to do things right and I want to pace everything.”

Lohan confirmed that she will be wearing several dresses on her big day. “That’s the best part,” she said.

Shammas, a financier who also lives in Dubai, is assistant vice president at Credit Suisse. He and Lohan were first spotted together at a Dubai music festival in early 2020, before the start of the pandemic.

Lohan also discussed her feelings about Dubai, which she has called home for the past eight years. “What I love about Dubai is that there's a sort of serenity that I find there. Maybe it's because it's so far outside the entertainment side of the world… But I feel a peace and a solace that I don't get anywhere else.

“So when I moved there, I had all this time to look at myself and see how I want to do things in the future, what makes me happy, and how I can be my best at doing them.”
