‘Happy birthday to my best friend who is like a sister to me. 17 years friendship. Such fun memories we have shared together. I wish you all the magical things in life,’ her friend Nina’s tribute read. 

And her mom Dina also shared a throwback snap with Lindsay from before her Parent Trap days as they posed in a swimming pool. 

‘Happy Birthday to my sweet Angel girl ….I am the proudest mommy alive to have such a kind , humble , loving lil girl you have weathered every storm all while standing strong with only love  you help all of those around you and bring light and hope to them I love you forever my baby,’ she wrote. 

In May her mom proved she was there for her daughter when she publicly spoke out against Chrissy Teigen after a ill-willed tweet from 2011 took aim at Lindsay.

‘Lindsay adds a few more slits to her wrists when she sees emma stone,’ the tweet read which prompted a response from Dina.

‘As a single mother of four children I have raised them to be kind, humble and non-judgmental,’ she told Fox News. ‘That being said, I will not judge her words towards others but I stand firm in one looking into oneself and continue to learn and grow #ownyou.’

Lindsay had stepped away from the spotlight in recent years to pursue more entrepreneurial ventures overseas after making a home for herself in Dubai.  

‘Moving here was a fresh start. You hear more about real current events rather than celebrity gossip, which I really appreciate,’ she told Emirates Woman.

However, she had slowly been trying to make her way back to Hollywood and re-enter into acting and music, penning an electronic song called ‘Back to Me.’

Just two months before the pandemic hit last March, she announced plans to move back to the United States.  

‘I want to really focus on me and everything that I can do in my life and come back to America and start filming again, which I’m doing some time soon in this new year,’ she told Anderson Cooper in virtual conversation at the 2020 ball drop.

‘And, you know, just taking back the life I’ve worked so hard for and sharing it with my family and you guys,’ she added.

Despite the setback, Variety reported on May 24 that Lindsay would in-fact be returning to acting with a holiday-themed romantic comedy on Netflix. 

Though many details are underwraps, she will reportedly star as a ‘newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress’ who gets amnesia following a skiing accident and ‘finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas,’ according to the publication.
