Another celebrity wedding bells could soon be ringing as Moroccan-American rapper French Montana and Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra are engaged, TMZ reported. 

Montana, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, and Mahra got engaged in June at the Paris Fashion Week. Their engagement also reportedly came after the Unforgettable rapper strutted the runway.

The couple have been hanging out since 2024, and they have been seen together at mosques and dining at plush restaurants in Dubai and Morocco. And though the wedding date and other arrangements for their union are yet to be finalized, both families are said to be happy about the couple taking their relationship to the next level.

Mahra, whose father is Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is a divorcee. She took to Instagram in July 2024 to announce her split from her ex-husband Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum. That post has, however, been deleted.

“Dear Husband, I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you,” she wrote at the time, BBC reported. “Take care. Your ex-wife.”
