Lindsay Lohan’s rarely seen younger brother Dakota has sparked concerned after sharing a cryptic post about his ‘bad habits.’
The 29-year-old actor opened up on Instagram Wednesday, reflecting on personal growth, accountability, and the importance of taking ‘baby steps’.
‘Day by day I’m understanding as well as accepting myself more so for the good, bad and indifferent.,’ he wrote. ‘I would tend to not take accountability for my behaviors and make excuses to justify my own ignorance and bad habits, that ship has sailed.’
He concluded: ‘Baby steps are a beautiful thing, no need to rush the beauty of the journey. Baby rant complete. #smile #bekind #love.’
He shared a series of intimate family photos, including rare snaps with Lindsay, her husband Bader Shammas, and throwbacks showing the Lohan siblings—including brother Michael Jr. and sister Aliana—as children.
Another photo showed their mother, Dina, but their father Michael – who split from her in 2007 – was noticeably absent from the carousel.

She told Oprah in 2013 that she had reached a point where she was forced to confront what she called ‘a very broken version’ of herself.
In the same interview, she also called herself an ‘addict.’
In recent years, she’s rebuilt her career with a steady run of film roles and a successful Netflix partnership.
She’s also embraced a quieter life abroad, settling in Dubai with Bader and their young son.
