How French Montana Got Engaged To Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra

French Montana just proved that shooting your shot can really take you to royalty.

How It Went Down

During a recent appearance on the Joe & Jada Podcast alongside Max B, the Bronx rapper spilled the tea on how he landed his now-fiancée, Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra. According to French, it went down in the DMs.

While visiting Dubai, he noticed Mahra had gone viral after publicly announcing her divorce from Emirati businessman and royal Sheikh Mana in a bold Instagram post. In it, she accused her ex of infidelity and stated that their marriage over.

“Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce,” she wrote in a viral post. “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take Care. Your ex-wife.”

French said the post immediately caught his attention.

“I remember I had seen she put up that post where she divorced somebody,” Montana told Jadakiss and Fat Joe. “And I’m like, ‘I like her.’ ‘Cause it takes a lot of guts to throw that up. So when she threw that up, I’m like, ‘I like her.’”

From there, French had a mutual connection reach out, and they gave the green light with a simple, “Do what you gotta do.” And the rest is history.

Shortly after her divorce announcement last year, Mahra was spotted giving French a personal tour of Dubai, sparking early rumors that turned out to be real. The couple later announced their engagement.

The couple has kept their relationship very low-key outside of Mahra celebrating French’s 41st birthday at Aya Nightclub in NYC. Max B and Central Cee joined the couple as well.

Montana was previously married to entrepreneur, NaDeen Kharbouch from 2007 to 2014. They share one 16-year-old son, Kruz Kharbouch.
