Dubai Princess Announces Divorce from Husband via Instagram Post
A Dubai princess has announced her divorce from her husband through an Instagram post.
On Wednesday, July 17, Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, daughter of Dubai’s current ruler, shared a message on her verified Instagram account: “Dear Husband, As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce.”
This surprising declaration comes just a year after she married Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum.
In her post, Sheikha Mahra, 30, invoked the Islamic practice of triple talaq, stating, “I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you.”
The announcement comes two months after Sheikha Mahra gave birth to their daughter. She had previously shared photos of her newborn’s hands and herself cuddling her baby on Instagram.
The princess has since deleted all pictures of her husband from her Instagram feed, and he has done the same on his account.
According to Grazia magazine, Sheikha Mahra confirmed her marriage to Sheikh Mana in May 2023, following their engagement announcement in March. The couple hosted a lavish wedding reception in Dubai last June.
Sheikha Mahra announced her pregnancy in October 2023 through an Instagram Stories post featuring a mammogram photo with the caption, “Just the three of us,” accompanied by two white heart emojis.
Nigerian reality TV star Phyna has spoken about how her perception of marriage has changed since turning 30.
She revealed that reaching the milestone made her reflect on how she used to view older unmarried women when she was younger.
She said “I remember that time all those my aunties that were in their early 30s and were not married. I’d be like, ‘Auntie, you no go marry? Auntie, you no marry?’ Back then, it looked like the auntie had a problem.”
“Guys. Guys. We sef don dey touch am o. Auntie no get problem. I swear. Our aunties, they no get problem. No single problem.”
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has shared her thoughts on dating married men.
Taking to social media, the actress stated that she could never be involved with a married man and explained why.
She wrote “Imagine leaving your husband only to go become a side piece to another woman’s husband. Thunder go really fire some of una… you see me and my younger guys? Leave us alone. I refuse to be the reason for another woman’s tears and sadness.”
She added that she would rather date younger men than become involved with another woman’s husband.
Nollywood actor Stan Nze has spoken about the upcoming 2027 general election while reacting to politician and presidential candidate Peter Obi.
He shared that listening to Peter Obi speak about Nigeria gave him hope that the country could have better leadership.
He said “I saw this video yesterday and it really broke me. It did things to me that I cannot even express. No one should be made to go through these things simply because they want to lead and see Nigeria become better.”
He also encouraged Nigerians to obtain their PVCs and participate in the 2027 election.
