Moroccan-American rapper French Montana is engaged to Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra according to TMZ.

The couple formalised their relationship in June during Paris Fashion Week. Their engagement was confirmed shortly after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced theirs.

French Montana and Sheikha Mahra have been seen together frequently since 2024, visiting mosques, dining in high-end restaurants in Dubai and Morocco, and appearing at the Pont des Arts in Paris. Their public appearances sparked speculation that has now been confirmed.

Sheikha Mahra is the daughter of United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Known for her philanthropic work, Mahra is also passionate about horses and equestrian pursuits. She studied at a private school in Dubai before earning a degree in International Relations in London. Her mother, Zoe Grigorakos, is Greek and divorced from Sheikh Mohammed.

The engagement comes soon after Mahra’s divorce from Emirati businessman and royal Sheikh Mana, with whom she shares a daughter.

In July 2024, Mahra publicly accused her former husband of infidelity, declaring their separation via Instagram with the statement: "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."

French Montana was previously married to entrepreneur Nadeen Kharbouch from 2007 to 2014. They share a 16-year-old son, Kruz.
