(Web Desk) - Princess Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is engaged to rapper French Montana, one year after announcing her shock divorce to the world.

The musician's publicist confirmed to the media that the couple got engaged in June, although a wedding date has not yet been set. Both families are said to be "excited" by the news.

The Dubai royal and the Unforgettable hitmaker, who previously dated Khloé Kardashian for six months in 2014, were first linked in late 2024, just a few months after Princess Sheikha Mahra publicly announced her divorce on social media.

The couple made a high-profile appearance during Paris Fashion Week in June, around the time of their engagement, when French made his runway debut as a model. They had previously been spotted travelling together in Dubai and Morocco.

Princess Sheikha Mahra – the 31-year-old daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai – was married to Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Bin Mana Al Maktoum for just over a year.

They share a one-year-old daughter together, Mahra, who was born in May 2024.

In July 2024, just two months after their first wedding anniversary, Princess Sheikha Mahra shared a now-deleted post on Instagram that revealed: "Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you. Take care. Your ex-wife."

After the shock announcement, the princess removed all social media posts of her ex-husband, keeping her photos solely to updates about her philanthropic projects and her baby daughter.
