Mr. Karim Kharbouch, professionally known as French Montana and formerly associated with Ms. Khloé Kardashian, has formally confirmed his engagement to Her Highness Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum of Dubai.
According to a statement issued by Mr. Kharbouch’s publicist to TMZ on Wednesday, the engagement took place in June of this year. Mr. Kharbouch, aged 40, and Her Highness, aged 31, elected to proceed with their betrothal following his debut appearance as a model during Paris Fashion Week, specifically at the 3.Paradis Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2026 show.
Reports further indicate that the couple have been observed together at various international locations, including the Pont des Arts in Paris, dining establishments in both Dubai and Morocco, as well as participating in excursions described as desert camelback journeys.
According to media reports, both families have expressed enthusiasm regarding the forthcoming marriage of Mr. Karim Kharbouch, professionally known as French Montana, and Her Highness Sheikha Mahra Mohammed Rashed Al Maktoum of Dubai, although a wedding date has yet to be formally confirmed. The pair were first publicly linked in October 2024, approximately a decade after Mr. Kharbouch’s prior relationship with Ms. Khloé Kardashian.
In late 2024, Mr. Kharbouch and Her Highness were observed together in Dubai, where the Princess was filmed providing him a tour of the city. More recently, they appeared publicly during Paris Fashion Week, where they were seen walking hand in hand.
Her Highness Sheikha Mahra previously announced, via an Instagram post in July 2024, the dissolution of her marriage to Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum. In that statement—which has since been deleted—she declared the termination of the marital union, citing her husband’s involvement with other companions. The former couple share a daughter, aged one, whose name has not been publicly disclosed.
Mr. Kharbouch, who in 2016 remarked in an interview with Elle that relationships with individuals undergoing divorce can be ’emotionally sensitive,’ has previously been linked romantically to Ms. Iggy Azalea in 2016 and to Ms. Khloé Kardashian in 2014. He is presently promoting new music, including his single ‘Pack U Up’ with Cash Cobain.
Meanwhile, Ms. Khloé Kardashian has recently shared updates with her social media audience regarding her personal wellness regimen. In a post to her Instagram account, followed by more than 301 million users, she disclosed that she underwent a ‘Muse’ stem cell treatment administered by Dr. Akhan at the Eterna Health Clinic in Mexico. Ms. Kardashian described the procedure as enhancing recovery, reducing inflammation, and contributing to overall wellness, while also highlighting its anti-aging benefits.#newsafro_
