Just when fans thought things couldn’t get messier in Conor McGregor’s world, the UFC star found himself at the center of not one but two major controversies — all within the span of a weekend in sunny Florida.
Spotted Getting Cozy on the Beach — But Not With Dee
Over the weekend, McGregor was seen soaking up the Florida sun on a packed beach in Fort Lauderdale — but noticeably not with his longtime fiancée, Dee Devlin.
Instead, the 36-year-old MMA fighter was caught getting seriously affectionate with a mystery brunette in a revealing leopard-print bikini.
Photos show the pair sharing kisses, lounging close on a beach chair, and even enjoying drinks together as McGregor wrapped his arm around her in full view of other beachgoers.
He later took a dip in the ocean with the woman and another friend, looking relaxed and cheerful.
Dee Devlin Remains Calm as Photos Surface
Despite the steamy images flooding social media, Devlin didn’t appear rattled.
On McGregor’s birthday, she took to Instagram to share a cheerful tribute, reposting sweet photos of the two of them and writing a heartfelt message.
The longtime couple has been together for 15 years, engaged since 2020, and share four young children.
Through ups and downs — including past legal troubles — Dee has remained by McGregor’s side, often defending him in public.
Azealia Banks Accuses McGregor of Sending Inappropriate Photos
Adding fuel to the fire, rapper Azealia Banks made a bombshell claim that McGregor sent her nude photos via direct message on X (formerly Twitter).
She posted alleged screenshots of the messages and graphic mirror selfies, accusing the fighter of sexual harassment.
Banks didn’t hold back, calling McGregor out in blunt language and questioning his aspirations of becoming Ireland’s president.
She also shared messages that appeared to threaten her not to go public, including one that read: “Don’t be a rat cos all rats get caught.”
As of now, McGregor’s legal team and Banks’ reps have not publicly responded to the allegations.
A Look Back at McGregor and Dee’s Rocky Road
McGregor and Devlin’s love story began in 2008 when they met in a Dublin nightclub.
She supported him through his early career struggles and has been a constant presence throughout his rise to fame — and his many controversies.
Despite being together for over a decade and sharing four kids, the pair never married.
McGregor proposed in 2020 while vacationing in the south of France, calling Dee his “future wife” on Instagram.
They currently reside in a lavish £2.5 million home near Dublin, and McGregor often shares clips of their eldest son, Conor Jr., training in MMA — clearly following in his father’s footsteps.
Past Scandals Still Linger
McGregor’s reputation has taken a hit in recent years.
In 2024, a Dublin court found him liable in a civil rape case, awarding €250,000 in damages to the victim, Nikita Hand.
Despite the ruling, Devlin publicly supported him and attacked the plaintiff on Instagram, stating the issue had been privately resolved years ago.
UFC Return Hints Amid Public Drama
While dealing with personal chaos, McGregor hinted at a UFC return.
At a recent Bare Knuckle FC event — where he’s a co-owner — the Irish fighter claimed he might be fighting again next year at an event hosted at the White House, aligning with America’s 250th birthday.
Fans, however, are skeptical. His last fight was in 2021, and although he was scheduled to face Michael Chandler last summer, a toe injury forced him to pull out.
Internet Buzz and Public Scrutiny
With Azealia Banks’ accusations making waves and beach PDA photos circulating fast, McGregor is once again at the center of public controversy.
As questions swirl about his relationship with Dee, his professional future, and the serious allegations against him, many are left wondering how — or if — he’ll bounce back.
