Who had Ayesha Curry being BFFs with Lindsay Lohan on their bingo card?

It turns out that Curry and Lohan are such good friends that Curry and her NBA star husband agreed to be godparents to the “Mean Girls” star's 7-monthold son, Luai, whom she shares with husband Bader Shammas. Lohan shared the news of her son's godparents and her surprise friendship with the Warriors couple on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday. She was responding to a question Fallon asked about a photo of Lohan and her husband attending last month's Warriors game against the Atlanta Hawks.

In the photo, they posed with Steph Curry, while Shammas held up one of Curry's No. 30 jerseys, signed on the back: “To Luai. Your godparents love you!” It's understand­able that people would wonder how Hollywood's former wild child ever crossed paths with Ayesha and Steph Curry, who separately and together have built brands on being very grounded human beings.

The last many heard about Lohan, the “Freaky Friday” star was doing reality TV on the Greek island of Mykonos with “Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club,” then trying to work her way back into feature films by starring in the 2022 Netflix Christmas rom-com, “Falling for Christmas.”

Starting in the mid2000s, Lohan endured nearly two decades of tabloid headlines about her personal struggles, legal issues, turbulent high-profile romances, reportedly difficult behavior on film sets and questionab­le career moves, including starring in a low-budget independen­t thriller with an adult-film star.

Then somewhere along the way, Lohan became an expatriate and got her life back on track, according to Allure. She made Dubai, the glitzy city in the United Arab Emirates, her base of operations. While in Dubai, Lohan met Shammas. It's through Shammas that Lohan found her way into the Currys' orbit Lohan told Fallon that she met Ayesha Curry through chef Michael Mina, who is her husband's friend.

Curry also is trying out acting and appears with Lohan in “Irish Wish.”
