When Lindsay welcomed her son, Luai, on Monday, July 17, Jamie couldn’t help but express her excitement in a heartfelt way. "My movie daughter just made me a movie grandmother," Jamie, now 64, captioned an Instagram post, radiating joy. She went on to send blessings to Lindsay and her husband, Bader Shammas, for the arrival of their baby boy.
From Screen to Real Life: A Lasting Bond
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan first connected on the big screen in the 2003 comedy Freaky Friday. Playing mother and daughter, they swapped bodies for the storyline, but their relationship has transcended the silver screen. Even two decades later, the pair remains close. Their on-screen chemistry translated into a genuine friendship that continues to thrive.
Advice from a Mom Who Knows
When Lindsay announced her pregnancy back in March with her financier husband, Bader Shammas, she naturally turned to Jamie for some motherhood wisdom. Jamie, who shares daughters Annie and Ruby with her husband Christopher Guest, didn’t hesitate to offer her advice. "I spoke to Jamie Lee Curtis recently, and she was like, 'You just bring the baby with you, and everything will be fine,'" Lindsay shared with Allure in June. It's clear that Jamie's experience as a mom has made her a trusted source of guidance.

Jamie's Journey as a Mom and Advocate
Throughout her life, Jamie has been open about her approach to motherhood, including her unwavering support for her transgender daughter, Ruby. On International Transgender Day of Visibility, celebrated on March 31, Jamie shared a touching tribute to Ruby on Instagram. "Love is love. A mother’s love knows no judgment," Jamie captioned a photo of herself laughing with Ruby. She emphasized her solidarity with her children, allowing them to be their authentic selves. "On this Trans Visibility Day, my daughter and I are visible," she proudly declared.
Motherhood's Influence on Jamie's Career
For Jamie, motherhood has been a transformative experience that has shaped her career decisions. In a previous newsletter for Pact’s Point of View, Jamie wrote, "Motherhood has changed everything in my life. When I began acting, I didn’t imagine I would ever have a child. My decisions were based on the life I had at that time. Now, every decision I make is with my children in mind. I choose my roles carefully, ensuring they align with my family values." It's evident that Jamie’s role as a mom has profoundly influenced her professional path.
When it comes to building her family, Jamie and her husband, Christopher, have always been vocal about their choice to adopt. "Adoption was the only way for us to have a family," Jamie explained. "For those who are fertile but choose adoption, it can be a more challenging decision. But when it’s your only option, it becomes the viable path. If you want to be a family, that’s how you make it happen." Her words reflect a deep appreciation for the family they’ve built together.
