Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra Engaged To Rapper French Montana
Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai ruler and UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is officially engaged to rapper French Montana. The announcement was confirmed by Montana’s representative to TMZ, revealing that the couple formalised their relationship in June during Paris Fashion Week.
The 31-year-old royal and the 40-year-old rapper have reportedly been close since late 2024, when Sheikha Mahra gave Montana a tour of Dubai and shared pictures from their outing online. Since then, the two have been frequently spotted together in Dubai, Morocco, and Paris — enjoying fine dining, visiting mosques, and walking hand in hand on the famous Pont des Arts bridge.
Their relationship became public earlier this year after joint appearances at fashion events in Paris.
This engagement follows Sheikha Mahra’s brief marriage to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum. The couple wed in May 2023 and share a daughter. However, in a bold Instagram post last year, Mahra announced their divorce, citing infidelity. She wrote, “Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”
Following the split, Sheikha Mahra launched a fragrance line aptly named “Divorce” under her brand Mahra M1. She is also academically accomplished, holding a degree in International Relations from a UK university and a qualification from the Mohammed bin Rashid Government Administration.
French Montana, born Karim Kharbouch, is best known for global hits like Unforgettable and No Stylist. Apart from his music, he is recognized for philanthropy, supporting healthcare and education initiatives in Uganda and North Africa. The rapper was previously married to entrepreneur Nadeen Kharbouch from 2007 to 2014, with whom he shares a teenage son, Kruz.
