Kelly was stunned to learn how strict Dubai is when it comes to snapping photos in public.

‘No, it’s not legal,’ Lindsay answered when the longtime talk show host asked if there are photographers where she lives. 

‘You can’t even take a picture of someone else if you’re at a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here,’ the Parent Trap actress said.

‘What? That’s incredible!’ Kelly gasped in shock before the guest star emphasized, ‘Yeah, privacy is key.’

Lindsay initially relocated to Dubai in 2014.

In November 2021, the Herbie: Fully Loaded actress took to Instagram to announce her engagement to Shammas.

She showed off her diamond ring as she posed with her new fiancé, writing in the caption: ‘My love. My life. My family. My future.’

Lindsay wed her partner in 2022 and revealed the news by referring to him as her ‘husband’ in an Instagram message that she posted on her 36th birthday.

In May the lifelong entertainer told Elle magazine she’d like for her son to have a sibling to play with.

‘I feel like we live in a different world now, where women make it such a point, especially in motherhood, to make time for ourselves.

‘We make it important. But also, once you have one kid, you’re like, “Oh, my kid needs a kid to play with,”‘ she shared.

She also noted, ‘I don’t know if it’s selfish — but I’m like, I need more than one kid to take care of me when I’m older.’ 

This comes after the Lohans came out in full force in support of Freakier Friday.

Lindsay was supported by practically her entire family at a special screening of the new film on Monday.

Joined by her husband Bader, mom Dina Lohan, 62, and siblings Ali, 31, Michael Jr., 37, and Dakota, 29, Lindsay couldn’t have looked happier to have her family by her side on her big night.

The Parent Trap actress looked mesmerizing in a fitted white dress with flared tulle skirt and strappy heels.
