It’s not often that Lindsay Lohan gets to Miami.

The “Freakier Friday” star lives roughly 8,000 miles away in Dubai, after fleeing the prying eyes of Hollywood and getting herself a serious glow-up.

The once troubled actress famously said on an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark” in July that she prefers the low-key vibe of the United Arab Emirates.

“I live a very normal life,” the 39-year-old said, adding that photographers need to ask your permission first over there. “There’s no worry of, like, I can’t go to eat at this place ’cause someone’s gonna take a picture of my son. I feel very safe.”

On Monday, she got a taste of what she’s been missing, or not.

TMZ shared a clip of Lohan in the South of Fifth area of Miami Beach pushing a stroller with her 2-year-old son Luai on Washington Avenue. Her husband, Kuwaiti businessman Bader Shammas, was along too, as were other companions.

Lohan, in a white dress, is seen puffing on an electronic cigarette and also eating ice cream from 4D Gelateria on South Pointe Drive. After spotting the paparazzi, the group piles into an SUV.

In the comments section of TMZ’s Instagram post sharing the video, many followers complained how shutterbugs should have stayed away, given it was a family outing.

“Leave her alone!”

“This is the reason she lives in Dubai: PRIVACY.”

“Y’all don’t learn. She was able to get herself back when she took a step back from the spotlight. Now she’s back and y’all chasing her around again.”

Thankfully, Lohan doesn’t appear to be too scared off from our town The next day, she made an appearance at The Wellness Oasis at Reserve Seaplane on the MacArthur Causeway, a two-day retreat celebrating all things self-care for Miami Art Week.

Activations included workout sessions, cold plunges, red light therapy, meditation, breathwork and more.

On Instagram, Lohan shared a picture from the venue, looking absolutely flawless, writing, “Calm, centered, grateful.”
