'Proud' mother Lindsay Lohan says she won't force herself into pre-pregnancy body despite 'pressure' from others

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lindsay Lohan is cherishing her journey into motherhood after she welcomed her first child in 2023.

In an interview with Bustle, the 'Freaky Friday' star shared that she is not bothered by the idea of returning to her pre-pregnancy physique as she dismisses societal pressures.

Lindsay Lohan reflects on post-pregnancy experiences and body positivity

Reflecting on how people perceive post-pregnancy physique, Lohan said, "Everyone's getting so thin now. I feel like everything always comes full circle again, so this is that moment, and this, too, shall pass. But it does seem like there's pressure."

The 37-year-old actress welcomed her son, Luai, with her husband Bader Shammas in July 2023, a year after their wedding.

In March 2023, the couple announced they were expecting and have since remained private about their life with their baby.

The 'Mean Girls' star took to Instagram to share a picture of herself in postpartum underwear and a sports bra, just weeks after she gave birth to Luai.

Along with the picture posted in August 2023, she embraced her postpartum body and expressed gratitude for the experience of motherhood.

"I am so proud of what this body was able to accomplish during these months of pregnancy and now, recovery. Having a baby is the greatest joy in the world," Lohan wrote of embracing maternity. 

Dropping a classic 'Mean Girls' quote by Amy Poehler, she added, "My OOTD lately is my @fridamom postpartum underwear. Because I’m not a regular mom, I’m a postpartum mom."

Lindsay Lohan says she opts to stay away from social media attention

Lohan who has faced intense media scrutiny throughout her career reflected on the changing landscape of social media.

The actress noted that individuals now have more control over their narratives. She further talked about how she opts to avoid the noise altogether.

"Social media is so different now than when I was younger that everyone has control of their own story," said Lohan who left Hollywood over a decade ago and recently made her comeback with notable projects.

"I don't really pay attention to that. I don't really read stuff that comes out either. 'Cause I know how it works, so there's no point. And if you immerse yourself in that stuff, you're just going to get lost and it can just do so much to you," concluded Lohan.
