Since welcoming herson Luaiwith husbandBader Shammasin July 2023, theParent Trapalum has kept her private family life mostly under wraps while occasionallygiving fans glimpses of her curly-haired boyand their life in Dubai (complete with a tautmakeup-free selfie or two). In a new interview withEllepublished on May 27, Lohan got candid about her surprisingly normal parenting routine as well as how she's been able to create a sense of normalcy for her son away from Hollywood. TheMean Girlsstar emphasized her love of routines and schedules, telling the publication that her typical morning consists of writing in her journal, green tea, Pilates, and breakfast with her son. Despite being based in Dubai, Lohan revealed that she and Shammas also spend half the year in Los Angeles and New York City—but that she struggles with keeping this schedule up when she's away from home. Instagram "It's hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?' In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us. Everyone has their own thing going on," she explained. While calling out L.A.'s "space" and New York's "different kind of energy," Lohan said that Dubai offers her family the best of both worlds. "I'm thinking as I'm saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there; I feel safe," she shared. Lohan also revealed that she's savoring these early years in Dubai before she and Shammas need to think about schooling for Luai. "I want to spend more time there. It is nice to have a balance. But my husband and I are always like, 'Okay, we have until he's five,'" she said, calling her family "the most important thing—my husband, my son, and me." Instagram "It's all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, I've got to live by that," she continued. However, Lohan also revealed that her son is just beginning to catch on to the fact that his mom is an actress. "I don't think he really knows yet," she said. "In my trailer, one day I was watching the original guitar scene [inFreaky Friday] and practicing movements, and he was there and he was like, 'Mama,' pointing at the screen." Instagram The star previously opened up about her daily routine with her son during aTodayappearance in November, revealing that in addition to a mother-son breakfast, there's one sweet tradition she "can't miss." "I have this thing," she told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager at the time. "Since my son was born, I take a picture of him every single morning, the second he wakes up. And I like can't miss it, so I need to be on his schedule." Read the original article onInStyle
