French Montana & Dubai Princess Sheikha Mahra Spark Dating Rumors in Paris Appearance Explained

Moroccan-American rapper French Montana is making headlines after being spotted in Paris with none other than Sheikha Mahra, the Princess of Dubai. The pair’s public appearance just days before Haute Couture Week has led fans and media alike to believe the two may be romantically involved.

Are French Montana and Sheikha Mahra Dating?

According to multiple sources, including The Source, French Montana is reportedly dating Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a member of Dubai’s royal family.

Photos from Paris show the two walking hand-in-hand, smiling, and appearing quite close. Mahra, using her Instagram handle @xtianna, posted a story highlight titled “Paris” with a white heart emoji. The stories include romantic visuals—Eiffel Tower views, luxury dining, and a love lock placed on a bridge. One photo shows two people holding the lock, one of them wearing a red fur sleeve, which matches French Montana’s style in recent paparazzi shots.

Mahra placed a red heart emoji over part of the image—seemingly to hide initials or a name—hinting at a desire to keep the relationship semi-private.

French Montana’s Response

When asked directly about his love life in a recent interview with Rah Ali on Sited, French Montana gave a vague answer.

“I’ll skip that one. I just want to keep my private life my private life,” he said. “I feel like every time it hits the media, it goes down to sh*t after that.”

His comments suggest a cautious approach to public relationships—perhaps because of past media fallout.

Who Is Sheikha Mahra?

Sheikha Mahra is the daughter of UAE Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Zoe Grigorakos. She graduated in international relations from a London university in 2023 and also earned a degree from the Mohammed bin Rashid Government Administration.

She was previously married to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum in April 2023. The couple welcomed a daughter in mid-2024 but divorced just two months later. Mahra confirmed the separation publicly using the triple talaq on Instagram, writing “I divorce you” three times, and noted that her father fully supported her decision.

Private Yet Public

Though neither French nor Mahra have officially confirmed the relationship, their Paris appearance and cryptic social media posts are fueling speculation. The royal and the rapper seem to be treading the line between public affection and private life—leaving fans eagerly waiting for more clues.
