Speaking with E! News ahead of the release of her latest Netflix romantic comedy Irish Wish, out March 15, Lindsay admitted "everything's changing" for her day by day, and candidly said: "It's a learning process – I'm having a different go at it. Figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it."

"I want to do things that my son can see," she explained, before noting: "But I also want to do things that inspire me."

The first instance that provided that best of both worlds was filming Irish Wish in Ireland, for which the first-time mom got to bring along little Luai. "I'm still fortunate he's young, so I can bring him everywhere," Lindsay shared.
