The Moroccan-American rapper, born Karim Kharbouch, is reportedly set to marry the 31-year-old princess, just months after she finalised her divorce.

This whirlwind romance has come as a surprise to many, with both fans and media closely following their every move.`

The couple first made headlines back in October 2024, when they were spotted together in Dubai.

Sheikha Mahra, who is the daughter of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of the UAE, gave the rapper a private tour of her home city.

Their connection seemed to spark interest, and it wasn’t long before they were seen again in June 2025 during Paris Fashion Week, where French Montana walked the runway for the 3.Paradis Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

It was there that they made their relationship official, and reports suggest that the pair got engaged shortly afterward.

TMZ was the first to break the news of their engagement, reporting that while the exact details of the wedding are still being worked out, both families are said to be excited about the union.

This relationship has come at a time for Sheikha Mahra, who had recently ended her marriage to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum

In July 2024, the princess made headlines with a powerful post on Instagram, announcing her divorce in a public statement.

For French Montana, this engagement marks a new chapter in his life.

The rapper, who moved from Casablanca to New York City at the age of 13, has achieved massive success in his career but has always kept a low profile with his personal relationships.

His involvement with Sheikha Mahra has certainly changed that, as the couple’s romance continues to unfold in the public eye.
