The announcement was confirmed by French Montana’s representative to a media source on August 27, 2025. It reveals the pair became engaged in June during Paris Fashion Week, shortly after the rapper graced the runway for the 3.PARADIS Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2026 show.

The couple’s connection first surfaced publicly in October 2024 when Sheikha Mahra shared photos of the rapper touring Dubai. Since then, they’ve been seen together in a series of intimate outings—dining at upscale restaurants, riding camels in the desert, and sharing moments at mosques across the Emirates.

Internet buzz particularly erupted when they appeared arm-in-arm during Paris Fashion Week, and Sheikha Mahra posted an evocative image of two hands clasping a lock on the love-lock bridge by the Eiffel Tower—an unmistakable symbol of romance.

Family insiders report that both families are enthusiastic about the match, with celebrations of the engagement already underway—though details like the wedding date remain under wraps.

French Montana, real name Karim Kharbouch, is known for hits like “Unforgettable.” He is the first African-born artist with a diamond-certified single and has a decorated career spanning philanthropy and music, including being the first.

The engagement of Dubai’s Princess Sheikha Mahra to Moroccan-American rapper French Montana is a blend of royal heritage combined with elegance, grace, and resilience. As they take this next step in their relationship, fans and celebrities alike wish them the best of luck from all around the globe.
