SAEDNEWS: French Montana (Karim Kharbouch) and Dubai royal Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum have confirmed their engagement — the couple posted images of a striking emerald-cut diamond ring with a halo and diamond-studded band on Instagram, following reports the rapper proposed during Paris Fashion Week.
According to SaedNews: French Montana and Sheikha Mahra revealed their engagement this week, sharing photos of the Dubai princess wearing a notably large, emerald-cut center stone ring framed by smaller diamonds and embedded diamonds along the band. The couple’s relationship was first publicly noted in late 2024 and reportedly culminated in a proposal in Paris this summer.
The engagement ring is an eye-catching emerald-cut diamond set in a halo of smaller stones, with additional diamonds visible in the band. Social posts showing the ring drew immediate attention for its size and classic-cut silhouette — a look widely described as both glamorous and heavily bespoke.
Reports say the proposal took place during Paris Fashion Week in June, shortly after French Montana walked the runway. The couple later confirmed the engagement on social media in late August, captioning a shared Instagram post with simple affectionate emojis and images of Sheikha Mahra showing off the new ring.
Sheikha Mahra and French Montana were first publicly linked in October 2024 when she posted photos from Dubai showing the rapper touring the city. They made a higher-profile appearance together in Paris Fashion Week, and sources say the relationship deepened from there, leading to the June proposal and the late-August confirmation.
Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum, 31, is a member of Dubai’s ruling family. She was previously married and has a young daughter; last year she announced a divorce amid personal allegations. French Montana (real name Karim Kharbouch), 41, is a Moroccan-born American rapper known for hits such as “Unforgettable.” He has been publicly linked in the past to several high-profile figures in entertainment.
The engagement post has generated widespread attention on social media and entertainment feeds, with fans and fashion watchers commenting on both the ring and the couple’s high-profile public appearances. There are no details yet on wedding plans or timing; given both figures’ public profiles, any future events are likely to attract significant media coverage.
