Lindsay Lohan has been very protective of her son's privacy – but 18 months after his birth, she's finally given her fans a glimpse of her little boy.
The Mean Girls star, 38, shared images of the toddler for the first time on Friday as they enjoyed a family trip to the zoo with her husband, Bader Shammas.
While she kept his face hidden, fans were able to see Luai's head of dark hair as his dad cradled him in his arms.
The photos also revealed how fast he's growing as he looked so tall holding onto his mother's hand as they strolled around the zoo, and with his dad as they admired some artwork.
The photos also showed a close-up of Luai's tiny hand being held by Lindsay, him wrapped up in her arms, and another of him admiring a giant snake.
Lindsay confirmed she had become a first-time mom in July 2023. "Lindsay Lohan and her financier husband, Bader Shammas, welcomed a beautiful, healthy son named Luai," her reps confirmed in a statement to People.

"Everything was coming so fast, and I had so many things happening. My only structure was filming and being on set," she added.

"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," she continued, adding that "everything's changing" in her life.
