From Morocco to the Emirates: French Montana Engaged to Dubai’s Princess Sheikha Mahra.

Around the world.

The news as it trends.

French Montana, the 40-year-old Moroccan-American rapper known for hits like “Unforgettable,” is officially engaged to Sheikha Mahra, a princess of Dubai and daughter of UAE Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Their whirlwind romance began in 2024 and blossomed during Paris Fashion Week in June 2025, where the couple reportedly got engaged.

Sheikha Mahra, 31, is a public figure in the UAE, admired for her fashion-forward style and philanthropic work.

She previously divorced Emirati businessman Sheikh Mana, with whom she shares a daughter.

French Montana and Mahra have been spotted together in Dubai, Morocco, and Paris, enjoying lavish outings and cultural experiences that reflect their shared love of luxury and culture.

Although the engagement reportedly took place in June, the news has only just surfaced publicly today—sending shockwaves across social media and celebrity circles.

Their union has sparked global buzz, blending hip-hop royalty with Middle Eastern nobility in a way that feels both unexpected and iconic.

French Montana also brings his own family story into the mix.

He has one child — a son named Kruz Kharbouch, born in 2009 — from his previous marriage to Deen Kharbouch.

Despite their separation in 2014, the two reportedly co-parent amicably, and Kruz has occasionally appeared at public events and on social media.

So while French Montana is now engaged to Sheikha Mahra, their relationship brings together two parents — each with a child from a previous marriage — making this royal romance a truly blended family affair, rich with cultural intersections and personal depth.
