Love is in the air for French Montana, who got engaged this summer.
On Friday (Aug. 29), the Morocco-born, Bronx-raised rapper, 40, and Dubai royal Sheikha Mahra, 31, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post.
French Montana proposed during Paris Fashion Week in June, shortly after making his runway debut in the Spring/Summer 2026 show for 3.PARADIS, according to People. TMZ was the first to report the news.

In the Instagram reveal, the couple is seen holding hands as Sheikha Mahra, a Princess of Dubai, shows off her stunning engagement ring — an emerald-cut, 11.53-carat diamond custom-designed by celebrity jeweler Eric The Jeweler of Mavani & Co. The ring is reportedly valued at $1.1 million.
“The elegant and rare design is a perfect symbol of the couple’s unique love story,” reads a press release from French Montana’s PR team, according to People.
The press release adds, “Representatives confirm that while wedding plans are underway, specific dates and arrangements are still being finalized by both families, who are reportedly excited and supportive.”
Rumors of their romance first surfaced nearly a year ago, in October 2024, when Sheikha Mahra shared photos of herself giving the “Unforgettable” rapper a tour of a city in the United Arab Emirates, according to E! News.
The couple went public with their relationship this summer, stepping out hand-in-hand at several Paris Fashion Week events.
Sheikha Mahra is the daughter of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. She was previously married to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum, with whom she shares a daughter. The couple split in July 2024. Montana also has a 16-year-old son named Kruz.
