Lindsay Lohan is being celebrated online for showing off a ‘realistic’ post-baby body in her first public photo since giving birth.
Lohan, 37, and her husband Bader Shammas, 36, welcomed a baby boy named Luai in July.
In a photo posted to Instagram on Thursday, Lohan wrote: “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!”
She then went on to make a Mean Girls reference, a 2004 film she starred in alongside Rachel McAdams.

Poehler played McAdam’s character Regina George’s mother in the film.
Women in the comments gushed over Lohan’s for showing the reality of post-baby life.
“Thank you for showing the realness ❤️ it sucks seeing all these celebrities ‘snapping back’ to a six pack after a month post partum 🧐🤨,” one woman wrote.
Another added: “You look exactly like a mom should look, just beautiful.”
Lohan’s baby was born in Dubai, where the couple lives, but it’s unknown how long ago he was born.
