American rapper French Montana, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, was spotted with the Princess of Dubai, Sheikha Mahra, during Paris Fashion Week, fuelling romantic speculations.
It appears that the rapper and Mahra have debuted their romance publicly as they made their first official appearance as a couple during this prestigious fashion affair, as they were spotted together walking hand-in-hand with Mahra holding a rose.
In another picture, the pair was photographed sitting together as the 'Unforgettable' rapper washed his hands in a restaurant.
Despite being spotted together publicly numerous times during Paris Fashion Week, the couple seem to be keeping things private for now.

However, the 31-year-old made an Instagram highlight on her official account and titled it 'Paris' with a white heart and shared photos of the Eiffel Tower, luxurious dinners, and holding a lock alongside another hand, which appears to be of a man with a red heart placed over it.

Mahra's relationship with the rapper comes after she divorced her husband shortly after she welcomed her baby girl in May 2024, and announced the separation on Instagram, sharing that it was due to infidelity issues.
In addition, the Dubai royal decided to turn the breakup into financial gain as she launched a perfume brand, 'Mahra M1', and named the first fragrance that she launched 'Divorce.'
Montana recently appeared on an interview, 'On Sited with Rah Ali', where Ali asked the rapper if there is a special lady in his life.
He replied: 'I'll skip that one, I just want to keep my private life, my private life. I feel like every time it hits the media, it goes down to sh*t after that.'
Besides being known for his music, the 40-year-old hitmaker is also known for his notorious dating life. In the past, he used to date Khloe Kardashian, Evelyn Lozada, Iggy Azalea and Amber Rose, among others.
All his past relationships were very public; however, it seems like this time around, Montana wants to keep things under wraps.

Is it safe? Cape Town influencer swims into weird ocean foam and the internet reacts

TikTok sensation Michelle Sky Hayward dives into Cape Town's murky waters, sparking a wave of reactions online. Image: TikTok TikTok user and content creator Michelle Sky Hayward leaves netizens scratching their heads after taking a deep dive into what seems like bubbling sewer water. Generally, most people know to steer clear of dodgy-looking water; however, Hayward seems to have taken the phrase 'diving into the unknown' quite literally. The content creator, who has since gone viral, shared a video of herself swimming in the mysterious-looking foamy water in Cape Town. 'I'm having so much fun, I literally don't even feel the cold,' she told the camera, moments before taking an unintentional gulp of the questionable water. Hayward then screamed and laughed after some water went into her mouth, saying it tasted 'salty'. Video Player is loading.

The adventurous fitness enthusiast has since posted a video on both Instagram and TikTok confirming that she is 'not an American tourist' and is a local to Cape Town, swimming in the sea 'at least once a week'. She said, 'I actually didn't smell anything when I went into the sea; it smelled like the normal ocean smells. 'I did notice that the water was super murky, and it is usually clear in that spot. There was also a lot of foam that I hadn't seen before. But I honestly loved the foam. I felt like I was in a bubble bath; it was so cool.' The video's comments section was filled with people baffled by the water's murky appearance. Viewers were quick to point out the obvious signs of questionable water quality, with many left wondering how Hayward didn't notice. 'I refuse to believe this is raw sewage and it doesn't have the worst smell … how did you not smell it?' asked @nsreemxx. 'As humans, we have a natural aversion to things that don't look or feel right. Even if they didn't know the exact reasoning, people would not want to get in this water upon seeing it. But I guess not everyone,' said @RedScarf.
