The actress first rose to fame playing dual roles as Annie James and Hallie Parker—twin sisters separated at birth—in the beloved 1998 Disney comedy The Parent Trap. That breakout performance set the stage for a dynamic career, with her standout role in Mean Girls in 2004 earning her multiple MTV Movie Awards. Over the years, she continued to shine in leading roles, including in Herbie: Fully Loaded and the remake of Freaky Friday, further cementing her status as a household name.
Before all the spotlight, though, her journey began early—she started working as a Ford model at just three years old, showing signs of the star she’d soon become. As her career took off, so did public interest in her personal life. In 2004, she was linked to actor Wilmer Valderrama, and later, from 2008 to 2009, she dated singer and DJ Samantha Ronson, drawing media attention along the way.
Born to Michael and Dina Lohan, she grew up in a large family with five siblings: Cody, Ali, Ashley, Michael, and Landon. Throughout the years, her life has been a mix of triumphs and transitions. In 2016, she got engaged to Egor Tarabasov, but the relationship eventually ended. Then, in November 2021, she found love again and became engaged to Bader Shammas—a milestone that led to their wedding in June 2022.
In July 2023, she welcomed her first child, a son named Luai, marking a joyful new chapter in her life. Through every phase—acting success, personal relationships, family milestones—she’s remained a figure of resilience and reinvention. And through it all, her story continues to evolve in ways that keep fans invested.
Back in 2004, she made a strong entrance into the music scene with her debut album Speak, which quickly gained massive popularity and went platinum. Her fans were eager for more, and she didn’t disappoint—just a year later, in 2005, she released her follow-up album A Little More Personal (Raw), which earned gold certification and further solidified her presence in the industry. She really showed her growth as an artist during that time, proving that her success wasn’t just a one-hit wonder.
