After the photos went viral, social media erupted in controversy. Many criticized McGregor for disrespecting his marriage and betraying his fiancee Dee Devlin. However, the Irish fighter himself "liked" a post criticizing him.

On 13/7, the day before his 37th birthday, McGregor was again seen dining with the same mysterious woman at Padrino’s Cuban restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The two seemed comfortable, sitting close and chatting intimately before leaving the restaurant separately a few minutes apart.

The same day, fiancee Dee Devlin posted a family photo and wished McGregor a happy birthday on Instagram. "Happy birthday to the one who makes Dee happy and makes her smile," she wrote. This led many to believe she was being tolerant or still wanted to maintain the relationship.

Amidst the ongoing scandal, American rapper Azealia Banks posted two shocking photos allegedly of McGregor posing naked in front of a mirror, which she claimed he sent to her via direct message on X despite her not following the fighter. She also publicly posted blurred messages and called McGregor's behavior "disgusting".

These latest scandals have brought McGregor and Dee Devlin's long-term relationship into the spotlight. The couple began dating in 2008 when McGregor was an unknown plumber in Dublin.

McGregor and Devlin have 4 children: Conor Jr. (born 2017), Croia (2019), Rian (2021), and Mio (2023). They got engaged in 2020 but have not yet officially held a wedding.

In 2017, McGregor revealed that the enormous cost of one of their children's christenings significantly impacted their wedding budget.

Last year, the Irish fighter said he and Devlin were ready to get married soon and were looking for a venue. "I'm definitely not going to spare any expense for my woman and family, but whether we should invite everyone or keep it private is what we're trying to figure out," he told the Irish Mirror.

Dee Devlin posts a happy photo with Conor McGregor on Instagram.

McGregor hasn't competed since breaking his ankle and losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. The Irish fighter has 22 wins and 6 losses, has held the UFC featherweight and lightweight titles, and was the first UFC fighter to hold championships in two weight classes simultaneously.

McGregor is the UFC's pay-per-view king, featuring in five of the highest-grossing events. The 37-year-old was ranked by Forbes as the world's highest-paid athlete in 2021, with $180 million USD. He was also on the list in 2018, earning $99 million USD and ranking 4th.

McGregor's career is synonymous with MMA, but the fight that elevated him to superstardom was his boxing match against Floyd "Money" Mayweather in August 2017. McGregor lost to the American but still earned $100 million USD in the largely exhibition bout.
