Who is Lindsay Lohan’s new fiancé, Bader Shammas? Meet the Dubai banker who proposed to the Mean Girls star with a Harry Winston-designed diamond ring …
- The Mean Girls alum announced her engagement to high-flying banker Bader Shammas with an Instagram post of her blinging US$250,000, six-carat ring
- The pair met in Dubai, where they were spotted partying backstage at a Bastille concert – Lohan moved to the emirate in 2014 for peace, but now she’s found love
The Mean Girls star set our weekend on fire with a man and a ring in her latest Instagram post, after years without any news on either her career or love life.
So who is Bader Shammas, the lucky guy that Lindsay Lohan just said “Yes!” to and captioned as “My love. My life. My family. My future” on November 29?
A non-celebrity (but moneyed banker)
Shammas is apparently Lohan’s dream man. The child star once revealed that she “wanted someone who hates the spotlight, doesn’t have Instagram and [is] a smart businessman”, according to NZ Herald.
Previously, he worked for BNP Paribas Corporate and Institutional Banking, part of the largest banking group in the world, in different positions in Bahrain and Kuwait from 2013 to 2017. Then he was promoted to the group’s wealth management wing and relocated to the UAE.
Double university graduate
It seems that Shammas may have changed his original projected career path, studying two distinct disciplines at two different universities in Florida, US. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of South Florida from 2007 to 2010, and then entered the University of Tampa in 2010 for a bachelor’s degree in science in finance, according to Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.
