Moroccan-American rapper French Montana and Dubai royal Sheikha Mahra, known as Xtianna, sparked dating rumors after the two were spotted walking arm-in-arm through the streets of Paris during the city’s Fashion Week.

Fueling the romance buzz, Sheikha Mahra posted a photo on Instagram of two hands clasping a lock, accompanied by a heart emoji. The image appears to have been taken at the Pont des Arts, famously known as the “Love Lock Bridge.” The symbolic gesture, commonly done by couples to signify eternal love, was interpreted by many as a subtle confirmation of their relationship. She also shared photos of the Eiffel Tower and an exclusive dinner, as reported by People.

This is not the first time that the princess and the rapper have been seen together. Last year, Sheikha Mahra shared photos with French Montana at the Four Seasons Resort Nammos Dubai, an upscale restaurant. The duo was also spotted enjoying a desert adventure, where Montana wore traditional Emirati garments, kandura and gutra, while participating in local customs.

According to People, Sheikha Mahra was previously married to Sheikh Mana Al Maktoum, another Dubai royal. Their marriage, which began in April 2023, officially ended in July 2024 following the birth of their daughter. Accusing her husband of infidelity, she publicly announced the divorce on Instagram, using the Islamic method of triple talaq.

After her divorce, the princess turned into an entrepreneur by launching a perfume line called Divorce. The move was widely seen as a statement of empowerment and made headlines globally.
