French Montana‘s fiancée, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is widely known as the Princess of Dubai.
She is the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and UAE vice president and prime minister.
Her mother is his ex-wife, Greek socialite Zoe Grigorakos.
The Moroccan-American rapper, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, and the glamorous princess were first linked in October 2024, when she hosted French in Dubai and shared photos of their outings on social media.
She had only recently split from Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, after accusing him of being “occupied with other companions”.
In a now-deleted post, she wrote on Instagram: “Dear Husband. As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, I Divorce You.”
A rep for French, 40, confirmed to TMZ that the couple became engaged in June 2025, with French proposing shortly after his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week.
Both families have reportedly expressed excitement for the upcoming wedding, although specifics about the date and arrangements are yet to be finalized.
French will become a stepfather to Princess Sheikha Mahra’s one-year-old daughter.
The musician previously had a highly publicized romance with Khloe Kardashian in 2014, after she split from her athlete husband Lamar Odom.
Who is French Montana’s fiancée, the Princess of Dubai?
Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was born in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on February 26, 1994.
She grew up with both Emirati and Greek heritage.
The Princess of Dubai graduated from a London university in 2023 with a degree in international relations.
Later that same year, she married Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, with whom she shares a daughter.
Their marriage ended in divorce in July 2024, which Mahra announced publicly through the previously mentioned and now-deleted Instagram post.
In this post, she invoked the traditional Islamic “triple talaq” practice — an act typically reserved for men — by declaring the divorce three times.
Following her divorce, the princess launched her own perfume brand, Mahra M1, with the debut fragrance aptly named Divorce.
She has also been involved in various charitable activities, including serving as a royal ambassador during a visit to the Community Development Authority in 2021.
She also donated toys to the Rashid Centre for People of Determination in 2023.
