Conor McGregor’s fiancée Dee Devlin jets out to US for Father’s Day after UFC star accused of bathroom sex assault
CONOR McGregor’s fiancée jetted to New York City to celebrate Father’s Day after the UFC star was accused of sexual assault.
The 34-year-old is claimed to have been filmed leading a woman by the hand into a bathroom before he allegedly raped her at the NBA Finals.
McGregor has strenuously denied assaulting a woman at the June 9 NBA game in Florida.
Days after the allegation, McGregor’s pregnant fiancée Dee Devlin has flown to New York City to be by his side.
McGregor shared pictures on his Instagram page showing Dee flashing her engagement ring as they celebrated Father’s Day.
The pair are expecting their fourth child together and have been together since 2008.
Photos on social media show them embracing while enjoying time with their young kids.
McGregor captioned the post: “The best Father’s Day yet. Happy Father’s Day, gents. God bless.”
It comes after McGregor emerged from his New York hotel to sign autographs on Sunday.
The Irish MMA star was greeted by fans outside his Manhattan hotel, after saying he looked forward to a “swift conclusion” to the sexual assault claims.
He signed memorabilia for some fans outside, then quickly rushed into the waiting car.
McGregor has continued to deny any wrongdoing amid claims he sexually assaulted a woman in the men’s bathroom at an NBA game.
The woman claims McGregor “aggressively kissed” her following the Denver Nuggets’ win against Miami Heat.
But the Dublin native branded the allegation against him as “false” and a “shakedown”.
Footage obtained by TMZ Sports appears to show the woman and McGregor around 12.40am inside the Kaseya Center in Miami – about 30 minutes after the woman claims she was attacked.
The woman can be seen at a table in the club holding drinks and appears to exchange words with the Irishman. Moments later McGregor leaves the area.
According to the woman’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell, the video shows her client and McGregor were “visibly awkwardly interacting with each other” – something she alleges the two were not doing prior to their restroom encounter.
“My client has always stated that there would be video of before and after, and in those videos she emphasised that the difference in the interactions between them would be visibly noticeable,” Mitchell said in a statement to TMZ Sports.
The woman has given cops her clothes for DNA analysis but there has been no suggestion that McGregor has been arrested.
Lawyers say the woman is seeking settlements with the NBA, the Heat and McGregor.
The claims have surfaced less than 24 hours after it emerged McGregor and his fiancee Dee Devlin are expecting their fourth child.
