Khaleej Times cannot verify whether the two are now divorced.
But eagle-eyed followers on social media also noticed that the couple unfollowed each other and deleted their photos together, including their wedding pictures.
In June 2023, Mahra shared her ethereal, fairytale-like look from her wedding photoshoot on Instagram, most of which has since been deleted.
The only remaining photos on her account show Mahra dressed in a stunning, embroidered gown, looking exquisite in the haute-couture dress by Ezra Couture. Her ballgown wedding dress was paired with a net veil and an exquisite diamond necklace.
Six weeks ago, Mahra posted another cryptic message, sharing a photo with her daughter and captioning it: “Just the two of us.”
Sheikha Mahra, Sheikh Mana officially announced their wedding in April 2023 and in May 2024, they welcomed a baby girl. Mahra also revealed the name of the baby girl — Sheikha Mahra bint Mana bin Mohammed Al Maktoum. Back in February this year, the couple had also hosted a gender reveal.
