French sealed his engagement to with a $1.05 million diamond ring and a proposal in Paris during Fashion Week, confirming a royal romance months in the making.
NYC’s Eric the Jeweler of Mavani & Co. carved out French’s engagement ring after the rapper contacted him a few months ago. The ring holds an emerald-cut shape, weighing 11.53 carats, and comes in at a price of $1,050,000. French and Sheikha got engaged in June after spending a whirlwind year together.
French, 41, and Sheikha Mahra, 31, were first linked in October 2024 when she posted photos of the rapper touring Dubai. Their relationship became public during Paris Fashion Week when they were seen walking hand-in-hand. The Dubai royal, daughter of ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, finalized her divorce from Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum in July. She shares a 15-month-old daughter with her ex-husband.
The BBC reported that her phrasing referenced the Islamic practice of triple talaq, which allows a man to divorce his wife by repeating the phrase three times. Though banned in several countries, the method still carries cultural significance. While traditionally only men can invoke it, Sheikha Mahra’s post suggested she had taken matters into her own hands.
