Who is Sheikha Mahra?
Sheikha Mahra is widely respected in the UAE for her philanthropic initiatives and her love for equestrianism. According to Emirates Woman, she has actively supported charitable causes and is regarded as one of the more modern and independent voices among Dubai’s royal family.
Mahra completed her schooling in Dubai before moving to London, where she graduated with a degree in International Relations, as reported by Grazia. Her mother, Zoe Grigorakos, is of Greek origin and is divorced from Sheikh Mohammed.
Previous marriages of the Couple
The engagement marks a new chapter for both Mahra and Montana, who have experienced previous marriages. Mahra was earlier married to Emirati royal Sheikh Mana, with whom she shares a daughter. Their separation became public after Mahra accused her husband of infidelity, announcing the divorce in a strongly worded Instagram post last July. She wrote, “Dear Husband, as you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce. I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take Care. Your ex-wife.”
French Montana, born Karim Kharbouch, was married to entrepreneur and designer Nadeen Kharbouch between 2007 and 2014. The pair share a son, Kruz Kharbouch, who is now 16 years old.
