Mahra, 31, is the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum — the ruler of Dubai and vice president and prime minister of the UAE, according to The Independent.
She’s active on social media, has a strong interest in equestrianism and owns a fragrance line, Mahra M1.
Montana and Mahra were first linked in October 2024, according to E! News, but didn’t go public with their relationship until earlier this year.
According to TMZ, Montana got down on one knee in June shortly after making his runway debut for the 3.Paradis Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week.
A wedding date has yet to be announced, but TMZ reported that both sides of the family are excited.
French Montana and Sheikha Mahra were both previously married
French Montana is no stranger to being in high-profile relationships.
The “Unforgettable” rapper has been linked to fellow rappers Trina and Iggy Azalea and reality stars Khloé Kardashian and Evelyn Lozada in the past, according to The Sun.
Montana was also married to Deen Kharbouch from 2007 to 2012. The couple finalized their divorce in 2014, according to the New York Post.
Meanwhile, Sheikha Mahra of Dubai was briefly married to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum.
The former couple announced their engagement in March 2023, according to the Arabian Royal Agency, and had a lavish royal wedding several months later.
Mahra and her ex-husband welcomed a daughter named Mahra in May 2024.
The Dubai princess went viral a few months later when she publicly announced her divorce on Instagram, per the BBC.
In the caption of her post, Mahra invoked the “triple talaq” rule, which traditionally allows husbands to divorce their wives by proclaiming it three times.
“Dear husband, as you’re occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce,” she wrote, per The Independent. “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife.”
