Conor McGregor‘s fiancée has spoken out after the sportsman was pictured kissing a mystery woman.
The Irish MMA star was seen getting close to the bikini-clad woman on a busy Florida beach in full view of other beachgoers over the weekend.
But Dee Devlin, who has been engaged to the sportsman since 2020, has brushed off the scandal as she posted a birthday tribute to her long-term partner on Monday.
Dee shared a post from a fan account on her Instagram story which read: ‘Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.’
Proving all is well, she also reposted a series of photos of herself and McGregor together from a fan account.
On Sunday pictures obtained by The Sun showed a beaming McGregor cuddled up a mystery dark haired woman during a beach day in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

It’s the latest embarrassment to hit the sportsman’s relationship with Dee, who was ever-present by his side throughout his sexual assault court case last year.
The couple met as teenagers back in 2008 in a nightclub and Devlin has been a key player in the MMA star’s story, supporting him when he was jobless and focused fully on making it as a professional fighter.
McGregor told VIP magazine: ‘I asked her to come over and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls.’
Devlin added: ‘He was already training when I met him, so I really admired his dedication to that.’
Speaking to MMA Fighting, McGregor said: ‘I love to spoil her. She does not work anymore, I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques.
‘Dee worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing. I only had a dream that I was telling her.
‘For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she’s ever wanted and to travel the world with her fills me with pride. It keeps me going. We’ve been together a long time. She’s been through it all with me.’
The pair have been together for 15 years and are not married – but did get engaged in August 2020 after McGregor proposed while they were celebrating his 32nd birthday.

McGregor popped the question in the south of France, writing on Instagram: “What a birthday, my future wife!”
The couple live in a £2.5million home in Kildare, a 40-minute drive from Dublin with their children Conor Jr, eight, daughter, Croia, five, and sons Rian, three and Mack, who was born in 2023.
McGregor has supported his eldest son’s budding interest in MMA and boxing and Conor Jr, now 7, can regularly seen on his father’s Instagram page being taught the basics of the fight game.
McGregor lost his 2024 civil case as jurors at the High Court in Dublin found him liable of raping Nikita Hand, 35, in a Dublin hotel on December 9, 2018, with the judge awarding Hand €250,000 in damages.
But despite the verdict, Devlin has emphatically made clear that she intends to back McGregor – attacking Hand in a series of posts on Instagram at the time.
In the posts she wrote: ‘Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago, as should be done in a relationship and we have come out stronger than ever.
‘We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!’
Last week McGregor claimed that he will make his long-awaited return to the UFC at their White House event next year
Last week McGregor claimed that he will make his long-awaited return to the UFC at their White House event next year.
The Irish MMA star has not stepped foot inside the octagon since July 2021, where he suffered a horror leg break against American fighter Dustin Poirier.
McGregor was set to face rival Michael Chandler last summer but, after months of fight build-up, was forced to pull out of the bout due to a toe injury.
While many fans have given up hope of McGregor making, yet another, comeback to the sport, it appears as though he’s dangled the carrot in front of them once again.
Speaking at a press conference for a Bare Knuckle FC event – a promotion which McGregor is a co-owner of – the Irishman revealed the stunning news.
He said: ‘It’s looking like I’m headed to the Oval Office again. That’s where I’m headed next’. His statement was met by a round of applause from fans in attendance.
McGregor, 36, has not fought in the UFC in four years and has previously claimed he’s retired
McGregor’s claim comes just days after he posted on X claiming that he was keen to feature on the White House card.
He wrote: ‘Accuracy is final. I’ve most KO’s of all by a long shot and I’ve been chilling on my yachts the last 4 years.
‘To return at the White House with my sniper accuracy would be a very intriguing offer and would bring me back in to focus on my return correctly’.
President Donald Trump announced that he wants a card to take place at the White House during America’s 250th birthday next July – which lead to McGregor’s interest.
