Move over, Taylor and Travis—there's another engagement this week. On Wednesday (Aug. 27), TMZ reported that French Montana, 40, and Sheikha Mahra, 31, a princess of Dubai, have announced their engagement after formalizing their relationship in June.
The couple was spotted together earlier last month while happily attending a Paris Fashion Week event. Their debut came just months after Mahra divorced her ex-husband, Emirati businessman and royal, Sheikh Mana, with whom she shares a daughter who was born last May.
Shortly after the split, Mahra, the daughter of United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, gave the rapper a tour of Dubai.
According to TMZ, the trip occurred around the same time that Montana and Mahra started dating.
"Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce," the princess wrote in a kiss-off Instagram post last July after accusing her now-ex-husband of infidelity. "I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take Care. Your ex-wife."
Montana was previously married to entrepreneur and designer Nadeen Kharbouch from 2007 to 2014, and the exes share a 16-year-old son, Kruz Kharbouch.
Although Montana and Mahra have been tight-lipped about their relationship, retired NBA player Paul Pierce commended the rapper for settling down with a non-American woman.
"Man, I’m telling you. Us Black men, I’m telling y’all: we need to follow in French Montana’s steps. You see, he cracking," Pierce said on an episode of podcast The Truth After Dark last month.
He continued, "The States women, they don't have the same values as these women overseas. They value their men. They priority is they man first. They not shaking ass on Instagram."
