Although neither French Montana nor Sheikha Mahra has officially commented on their relationship status, this is not the first time the pair have been seen together. Their first public appearance dates back to October 2024, when they were reportedly seen enjoying dinner at the luxurious Nammos restaurant in Dubai’s Four Seasons Resort, followed by desert excursions. In one viral moment from that time, French Montana was seen donning traditional Emirati attire, sparking curiosity across social media platforms.
Their latest outing in Paris only fuels ongoing rumors, especially given the romantic undertones of their visit. Sheikha Mahra added more intrigue by posting on her Instagram a symbolic image of two hands locking a “love padlock” at Paris’ famed Pont des Arts bridge — a global symbol of commitment and love.
Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is no stranger to the spotlight. Born in 1994, she is the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai.
She rose to prominence not only for her royal lineage but also for her independent public persona. Known for her advocacy of women’s empowerment, she has become a fashion icon in the Arab world and recently launched a luxury perfume brand "Mahra M1", which included a bold fragrance titled "Divorce" — a name that speaks to her personal journey.
In mid-2024, Sheikha Mahra finalized her divorce from Sheikh Mana Al Maktoum, citing infidelity as a primary reason. The couple had been married for over a year and welcomed a daughter in May 2024.
Karim Kharbouch, professionally known as French Montana, has had a successful music career with hits like "Unforgettable" and "No Stylist." Despite being in the public eye, the rapper is known to keep his romantic life private.
In a recent interview, Montana shared his perspective on relationships under the spotlight:
“I just want to keep my private life my private life. Every time it hits the media, it goes downhill from there.”
His reluctance to label or publicize his personal relationships adds a layer of mystery, making this public appearance with Sheikha Mahra all the more headline-worthy.
While the official status of their relationship remains unconfirmed, the romantic atmosphere of Paris, the nature of their interactions, and the suggestive social media posts are leading many fans and media outlets to believe there is more than just friendship between the two.
Their presence at one of the most glamorous global fashion events has only added fuel to the speculation. Whether it's a blossoming romance or a deep friendship, their story is one that has captivated audiences from Dubai to Hollywood.
Stay tuned — this is one love story the world will be watching closely.
