McGregor - wearing sunglasses and a white hat - smiled with his fiancee - who dressed in a blue swimsuit.
They were joined by all four of their children for the snap, Conor Jr, eight, Croia, six, Rian four and Mack, one at a waterpark in Italy.
McGregor whisked his partner away to Sardinia to celebrate his 37th birthday amid a cloud of controversy.
The Sun first reported how the multimillionaire fighter was caught appearing to kiss a mystery woman on a beach in Florida.
Just days later, McGregor was spotted with the same woman enjoying a meal in Fort Lauderdale.
To make matters worse, American rapper Azealia Banks accused McGregor of sending her unsolicited nude photos.
The alleged naked pictures were then posted online - and later deleted - by the New York performer.
Just days later, McGregor was snapped packing on the PDA with Dee -who he proposed to in 2020 but is yet to marry - on a yacht in Italy.
And she posted: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile."
Rumours have been rife about the state of their relationship but a source told the Daily Mail: "We are being told to believe that this is a happy, loving relationship behind all the headlines.
Conor McGregor's fiancee Dee Devlin breaks silence after UFC champ pictured kissing mystery woman on a beach in Florida
"I think a lot of things clearly point to the fact that she is not.
"From early on in the relationship, she has had a great deal to cope with. I would be very concerned with how much she can take."
McGregor has not fought since July 2021 - when he brutally broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.
A toe injury last June also forced McGregor out of his proposed comeback bout against Michael Chandler in Las Vegas.
Further controversies outside of the cage have also kept the former UFC champion from returning to action with his fighting future in doubt.
In December, McGregor was found liable for assault in a civil case against him dating back to 2018.
The court heard how the professional fighter was said to have "brutally raped and battered" Nikita Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel.
McGregor - who was ordered to pay Ms Hand about £206,000 in damages and pay her legal costs - has since sought an appeal.
McGregor also punched a man in an Ibiza nightclub in June - with The Sun capturing the shocking moment.
But the man - who works for Wayne Lineker - did not press charges.
McGregor has recently claimed he is back in the UFC's drug testing pool in a bid to make a return to the cage.

Theatre school founder and ‘true visionary' Sylvia Young dies aged 86
Her daughters Alison and Frances Ruffelle said it was with 'great sadness' that they confirmed the death of their mother – who 'passed away peacefully' on Wednesday, in a statement posted on the Sylvia Young Agency Instagram account. Their statement read: 'Our mum was a true visionary, she gave young people from all walks of life the chance to pursue their performing arts skills to the highest standard. A post shared by Sylvia Young Agency (@sylviayoungagency) 'Her rare ability to recognise raw talent and encourage all her students contributed to the richness of today's theatre and music world, even winning herself an Olivier Award along the way. 'She believed hard work with a bit of luck brought success, and she was an example of that herself. She leaves as her legacy a wealth of brilliant performers, a thriving school bearing her name, and a priceless place in the nation's heart.' The Sylvia Young Theatre School, which was established in 1972 offering full-time and part-time courses, produced a wide range of stars from singers such as Dua Lipa and Rita Ora, to actors such as Doctor Who's Billie Piper and Nosferatu's Nicholas Hoult. Young's daughters added: 'Above all she leaves the memory of an East End girl who worked hard to achieve her goals, took hold of life, and lived it to the full. 'Her family were everything to her, her wonderful husband, our dad, Norman and her grandchildren Eliza, Nat, Felix and Coral plus her great grandson Rex. 'We share her love with her wide and inclusive family, her friends, her students. You all meant the world to her. 'We will miss her so very much.' McFly star Tom Fletcher met his wife, podcaster and presenter Giovanna Fletcher, at the school, which they attended from the age of 13, with Young attending their wedding. In a tribute, Giovanna posted on Instagram: 'My life would not be what it is without Sylvia Young. 'I remember watching Sylvia on Live And Kicking when I was 12 years old, she was talking about her school and all the fun they had there. 'I phoned up for a brochure and applied for a scholarship without telling my mum and dad, I didn't get the scholarship, but I got a place with a 'deal' attached because Sylvia wanted me there – something I quickly learned the majority of the 140 students had.' A post shared by Giovanna Fletcher (@mrsgifletcher) She continued: 'I loved sitting in Sylvia's office and watching her work. 'She was meticulous, she knew what every child was up to and how to get the best out of everyone, she was devoted to helping her kids and I know how much she cared for each of us. Sometimes she cared when others didn't – helping some incredible talent flourish in the process. 'No-one ever wanted to upset Sylvia and that's not because she would get angry and shout, quite the opposite, Sylvia's disapproval was enough – because we all knew how lucky we were to be at that school, doing what we loved. We all wanted to impress her, and that never stopped.' In a comment on Young's daughters' social media post, actress Bonnie Langford added: 'Such sad news, Sylvia was such an inspiring, kind and generous person. 'She made a difference to so many and will be missed by so many, love to all the family and all those who she made feel were her family. Heartfelt condolences to you Frances and Alison and to Stephen and all the team.' Radio presenter Tony Blackburn, who was a friend of Young, also paid tribute in a post on X. So sorry to hear Sylvia Young has passed away. She founded the Sylvia Young Theatre School which has been responsible for starting so many careers in TV and Theatre. She was a very lovely lady who I have had the privilege of knowing for many years. She will be sadly missed. R.I.P… — Tony Blackburn OBE. (@tonyblackburn) July 30, 2025 He said: 'So sorry to hear Sylvia Young has passed away, she founded the Sylvia Young Theatre School which has been responsible for starting so many careers in TV and Theatre. 'She was a very lovely lady who I have had the privilege of knowing for many years. She will be sadly missed.' Elsewhere, The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, who attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, said he was 'absolutely devastated' in a social media post. Society of London Theatre (SOLT) and UK Theatre co-chief executive Claire Walker told the PA news agency: 'Sylvia Young was a stalwart champion for drama and music training as well as creative education more widely. 'Her decades of work in our industry were rightly celebrated with a Special Recognition Olivier Award in 2022. 'Her legacy lives on in the hundreds of Sylvia Young Theatre School alumni who have graced stages across the UK. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends and former students' Absolutely devastated. Rest in peace, Sylvia Young — Nathan Sykes (@NathanSykes) July 30, 2025 In her honour, theatre producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh will be dimming the lights at the Gielgud Theatre on Thursday evening. He told PA: 'Sylvia Young has been a force of nature and legend in British showbusiness for so long that it seems impossible to take in that she is no longer with us. 'Sylvia was a pioneer who became a caring but formidable children's agent who then went on to found the top drama school for young performers. She has had a profound influence on the character and discipline of generations of new young talent. 'The show that proved the greatest showcase for the young actors she discovered and nurtured is undoubtedly Oliver! which has featured hundreds of her students over the years, including several in our current London company. 'For many decades we have all been indebted to her indefatigable enthusiasm, perceptive eye and prodigious output of talent – we have always considered Sylvia to be part of the family as she has always done everything for us.' Young was the subject of an episode of This Is Your Life in 1998, and was appointed an Officer Of The Order Of The British Empire (OBE) in 2005 for her services to the arts. She married Norman Ruffelle in London in 1961, and is the grandmother of singer Eliza Doolittle.

The Blairite Breakfast Club
Illustration by Marcus Butt / Ikon Images An army marches on its stomach and the Blairite New Labour praetorian guard of Keir Starmer's cabinet meets for breakfast club. Lunch is for wimps and dinners are too often public, so, whispered a snout, Pat McFadden, Wes Streeting, Liz Kendall and Peter Kyle gather in the early morning away from bleary eyes to chew over the state of play. The orange-juice band are tight-knit with a common orientation and interests. No plotting occurs against the Prime Minister, insists our informant, but if Starmer ever looks like he's toast, expect a united front with the other three backing Streeting. By the way, the Health Secretary is expected by colleagues to go on the chicken run to a much safer roost now Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's new party might make vulnerable Ilford North hostile territory. Starmer is braced to go through his Highland hell bromance with Trump all over again during September's state visit. The US president's green-eyed onetime British bestie Nigel Farage must've been one of the few leaders who wished they were in the PM's shoes for the near 90-minute ordeal in Scotland. 'We're grown-up about the value of Keir's relationship with the president,' sniffs an aide. There must be an entire book in this for Starmer rather than a mere chapter in future memoirs. It can be hard to know what to do once you're no longer PM, as Starmer will discover one day. Tony Blair regularly welcomes furtive groups of Labour MPs to the offices of his think tank. Our snouts have spotted Theresa May in the big Waitrose in Maidstone, picking up essentials while Philip pushes the trolley. David 'chillaxing' Cameron continues to enjoy life after Westminster. A personal Instagram post over the weekend showed a shorts-and-polo-shirt-wearing Cameron at the ISPS Handa Senior Open at Sunningdale, Berkshire, with former taoiseach Enda Kenny. Cameron looked almost unbearably happy holding a silver plate after being part of the winning team at the tournament. With a reported net worth of £40m, Cameron may not need any more silver either. Dubbed Donald Trump's guy in Silicon Valley before Elon Musk mutated Twitter into X and Mark Zuckerberg turned two-Facedbook, the American tech billionaire Peter Thiel was in town recently and held a private dinner with right-wing worthies. Thiel, waging a war on progressives, was aghast about the state of Britain. He predicted that our economy, being roughly '80 per cent services and 20 per cent manufacturing', would soon come under even more pressure. AI would ravage the services, and sky-high industrial energy prices would see off what remained of the manufacturing. Did anyone have a good response to Thiel's challenge around the table? Not according to our snout. He told the British right what it wanted to hear. Blink-of-an-eye PM Liz Truss notoriously claimed the 'jury's out' on whether French President Emmanuel Macron was a friend or a foe of the UK, and now a similar decision pockmarks the Green Party's carnivorous leadership bash. Adrian Ramsay couldn't tell LBC interviewer Iain Dale whether he liked 'eco-populist' rival Zack Polanski or not. The MP for Waveney Valley and Green Party co-leader wobbled when asked directly, subsequently clarifying he liked 'working with Zack'. Polanski, whose campaign took Ramsay somewhat by surprise, said afterwards that he was 'stung' by the hesitation. Having worked with Ramsay for years, Polanski expected better: 'I hadn't realised that Adrian didn't like me on a personal level.' Always the last to know? Defeating the Spanish Armada, Nelson's victory at Trafalgar, Wellington's at Waterloo, Winston Churchill as the grandson of a Duke, and the creation of the NHS by Clement Attlee, grandfather of a hereditary peer, were all cited in vain by Tory shadow Lords leader, Nicholas True, as reasons to reprieve hereditary bluebloods from the guillotine. 'Frankly bonkers stuff,' sniffed a Labour source. Quite. At last a glint of good news for Kendall: there are fewer vermin under Labour. After this column's snippet last week on the rodent-infested Mouses of Parliament our eyes alighted on figures recording a fall in pest control call-outs to Jobcentres and other buildings managed by the DWP. The 571 to date this year include one a piece for cockroaches and grey squirrels, 16 for wasps, 93 for birds, and 140 for rats and mice, with unspecified insects topping the bill at 288. Kendall must have shot the Tory fox, with zero cases recorded in 2025 after 13 problems with Mr Tods in recent Conservative times.
