Curious why French Montana is making headlines with Dubai royalty? The rapper has sparked dating rumors after appearing in Paris with Sheikha Mahra, the Princess of Dubai, just before Haute Couture Week.
Here’s what we know about their relationship, how they were spotted together, and what each has said about keeping things private.
Are French Montana and Sheikha Mahra dating?
French Montana is reportedly dating Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Princess of Dubai.
The Moroccan-American rapper and the Emirati royal appeared together in Paris ahead of Haute Couture Week. Multiple photos capture them holding hands and posing romantically. On her Instagram, Mahra added a highlight titled “Paris” with a white heart emoji, featuring images of the Eiffel Tower, luxury dinners, and a lock covered with a red heart. Two people seem to hold the lock, with one wearing a red fur sleeve.
The Source reported their appearance as a public couple. Despite the public outing, the pair seems to value privacy. A red heart in Mahra’s Instagram story covered what may have been initials or names. The move has been interpreted as an effort to show she is in a relationship without revealing full details.
In a recent interview with Rah Ali on Sited, French Montana addressed his romantic life vaguely. When asked about a woman potentially being the source of his happiness, he replied, “I’ll skip that one. I just want to keep my private life my private life […] I feel like every time it hits the media, it goes down to sh*t after that.”
Sheikha Mahra, also known by her Instagram handle @xtianna, is the daughter of UAE Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Zoe Grigorakos. She earned a degree in international relations in London in 2023 and another from the Mohammed bin Rashid Government Administration.
Mahra was previously married to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum in April 2023. They had a daughter in mid-2024, but the couple divorced two months later. She announced the divorce using the triple talaq on Instagram, writing “I divorce you” three times and noting her father’s full support.
