    French Montana is engaged to Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum

    The 40-year-old rapper - whose real name is Karim Kharbouch - secretly asked the daughter of the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, for her hand in marriage after he walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week in June for the 3.Paradis Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 show, a representative for the star told TMZ


    The Unforgettable hitmaker - who previously dated Khloe Kardashian and Iggy Azalea - was first known to be seeing Sheikha Mahra, 31, when she posted photos of the pair during a tour of Dubai on social media in October.

    However, this summer was the first time they'd been spotted out in public hand-in-hand.

    Sheikha Mahra married Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, an Emirati businessman, in April 2023

    The exes have a daughter, born in May 2024.

    The marriage didn't lost long, with the pair's divorce revealed by Sheikha Mahra on Instagram in July 2024.

    She bizarrely quoted the now-banned form of Islamic divorce where a Muslim man could instantly divorce his wife by pronouncing the word "talaq" (divorce) three times at once, which was not legal for women.

    She wrote: "Dear Husband.

    "As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby dec lare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, I Divorce You.

    "Take care. Your ex-wife."
