Steph Curry’s connection with Lindsay Lohan and her husband Bader Shammas may come as a surprise to many, but it’s a testament to the diverse and unexpected relationships that can form within the world of celebrity.
The bond between Curry and the couple extends beyond mere acquaintance; they are actually the godparents of Lohan and Shammas’ child, Luai.
This revelation came to light after Curry’s impressive performance in a game against the Atlanta Hawks, where he scored a remarkable 60 points. Following the game, cameras captured Curry exchanging his jersey with Lohan and Shammas and posing for photos. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Curry had inscribed a heartfelt message on the jersey, indicating their special connection as godparents to Luai.
The connection between Curry and Lohan is rooted in their mutual acquaintance with acclaimed chef and restaurateur Michael Mina, who co-opened International Smoke with Curry’s wife, Ayesha, in San Francisco. Mina, who also has a restaurant in Dubai where Lohan and Shammas reside, played a pivotal role in bringing the two couples together. Through Mina’s encouragement, Lohan and Ayesha met and immediately hit it off.
Lohan’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon provided further insight into their relationship, as she shared details about their close bond and how Ayesha played a role in her upcoming Netflix film, Irish Wish. The story serves as a reminder that celebrities, despite their fame and status, can form genuine connections and friendships that transcend the boundaries of their respective industries.
“My husband knows Michael Mina, the chef,” Lohan explained to a gobsmacked Fallon. “And we were in Dubai (where Lohan and Shammas live, and where Mina has a restaurant) and Michael Mina kept saying to Bader, ‘You need to introduce Lindsay and Ayesha, I need them to meet.’ So she happened to be coming to Dubai, and we met, and we just clicked right off the bat.”
In the end, Curry’s connection with Lohan and Shammas highlights the unexpected intersections that can occur in the world of celebrity, proving that even the most unlikely relationships can blossom into meaningful connections.
