Lindsay Lohan is pregnant with her first child

"The Parent Trap" star Lindsay Lohan is about to become parent-trapped herself, as she announced Tuesday that she and her husband, Bader Shammas, are expecting their first child together.

"We are very excited for our new family member to arrive and we are looking forward to this next chapter of our lives!" the couple said in a statement to TMZ.com. She additionally posted an Instagram photo of a baby's onesie with the words "coming soon" superimposed in graphical-text script. "We are blessed and excited!" the star, 36, wrote, posting infant-related emoji and one of praying hands.

This is Lohan's first marriage and first child.

The actor-entrepreneur announced in July that she and Shammas, 33, had married, later specifying the wedding took place in April. Shammas, according to his since-removed LinkedIn account, was an assistant vice president at Credit Suisse at the time, based in Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, a small Arabian Peninsula nation. Lohan, who was raised in Cold Spring Harbor and Merrick, has lived in Dubai for several years.

In a conversation with actor Amanda Seyfried for the Art Basel Miami Beach publication "Miami," excerpted in Interview magazine in November, Lohan discussed her desire to have children. "I want to have kids," she said, adding that she and Shammas planned to raise them in Dubai. "That’s what we’ve talked about," she said. "It’s so safe there, and the schools are great."

She told the British tabloid The Daily Mail in July 2018 that "I would love to have two or maybe four kids but I have no plans to start my own family yet," and talked about adopting a Syrian refugee.

Lohan has made a career comeback in recent months, after appearing in only a handful of film and TV projects, including a reality-TV show, between 2013 and 2019. Following a small but key role in the video-on-demand werewolf movie "Among the Shadows," which shot in late 2015 and early 2016, she starred opposite Chord Overstreet in "Falling for Christmas" this past holiday season on Netflix.

Months before that film premiered, Netflix ordered two more movies with Lohan. One, "Irish Wish," is a romantic comedy about a woman whose best friend gets engaged to the woman's great love, the streaming service said, prompting the woman to make a wish and magically, inadvertently, wake up as the bride-to-be.

Netflix gave no details on the second movie. "Entertainment Tonight," citing an anonymous source, said on Tuesday that production on her "next Christmas movie for Netflix" has been delayed because of the pregnancy.
