Rapper French Montana recently announced his engagement to Dubai princess Sheikha Mahra, the daughter of Dubai's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. For the uninitiated, Sheikha Mahra gained attention after she launched a perfume line called 'Divorce' following her separation from her ex-husband in 2024.

On August 27, 2025, Montana's representative confirmed the engagement to TMZ, adding that the proposal happened during Paris Fashion Week in June 2025.

Princess Sheikha Mahra was previously married to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum for a year. The royals tied the knot in an extravagant ceremony in May 2023 and welcomed their daughter a year later.

However, one of Sheikha Mahra's Instagram posts following her daughter's birth sparked speculation of a separation after the Dubai royal shared a picture of her baby with the caption, "Just us the two of us."

In July 2024, Sheikha Mahra announced her separation through an Instagram post by evoking the Islamic 'talaq' rule, which is usually reserved for men. The Dubai Princess alluded to her husband's alleged infidelity in her post, writing:

"Dear Husband. As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, I Divorce You. Take care. Your ex-wife."
