Conor had been seen cosying up to a mystery woman for his birthday dinner last week, just days after kissing her on a beach in Florida, despite having been engaged to Dee since 2020.
Pictures from his luxury yacht trip in Italy show the MMA fighter sparring and soaking in the sun alongside Dee.
In moments, Conor could also be seen gently patting his partner on the bum on the expensive boat, which was adorned with balloons in the colours of the Irish flag.
Dee had shared a birthday tribute to Conor earlier this week, amidst the explosive allegations about the fighter's behaviour.
Not only has the fighter come under fire for snogging the mystery brunette on a Florida beach but US rapper Azealia Banks has
accused him of
sending her unsolicited "d*** pics"
.
The 212 hitmaker shared the explicit photos that allegedly show the UFC brawler on X, alongside his threat 'don't be a rat cos (sic) all rats get caught'.
While Dee - who's dated Conor for 17 years - hasn't commented on Azealia's claim or the fighter's holiday snaps, she's weathered even more sensational accusations levied against him in the past.
There have been alleged affairs, punch-ups outside the ring and Conor being forced to pay £206,000 in damages to a woman who accused him of 'brutally raping and battering' her.

They then left a few moments apart.
The same day as the dinner, Dee Devlin - McGregor's fiancee - wished her partner a happy birthday.
They have been engaged since 2020, and they share four children together.
She shared a post from a fan account which read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile."
Prior to his beach encounter, the MAM fighter was spotted cosying up to a mystery blonde in a nightclub birthday bash.
The star was seen in a Dublin nightclub getting close to a fellow reveller.
The former UFC champion was pictured smiling with his hands around a blonde woman's waist.
A shocked fan snapped the pair on July 6 at Soho nightclub in the Irish capital.
On top of his behaviour in Florida and Dublin, Conor has found himself in his latest spat with rapper Azealia Banks, who alleges that the fighter sent her the photos on X unprompted - despite her not following him back.
The rapper claims the messages were sexual harassment, but also said that she
sent the boxer
nude pictures as well in a sexting-back and-forth since 2016.
MCGREGOR'S LEGAL ISSUES
Last year, the MMA star was found liable in a civil case that accused him of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room in December 2018.
It was alleged that he had choked the claimant, leading to her fearing for her life.
He disputes the charges, arguing that they had consensual sex.
A second woman accused him of sexual assault following a June 2023 incident at an NBA Finals game in Miami.
The 49-year-old victim accused an "intoxicated" of slamming her face against a bathroom stall and placing her in an armlock before raping her.
The woman alleged that McGregor engaged "in unlawful sexual contact" to fulfil his "own sexual gratification" and to "degrade" her.

Florida prosecutors, however, declined to pursue criminal charges for the alleged assault with the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, citing insufficient evidence in the case back in October 2023.
McGregor denies any accusations of wrongdoing.

Irishman faces backlash after being wrongly accused as man at centre of viral Coldplay clip
'My name isn't particularly common, this is the first other Andy Byron I've ever heard of, so obviously I found it funny.' An Irish man has been caught up in a global viral internet scandal that saw a tech executive and his employee caught in an intimate embrace on a 'kiss cam' at a Coldplay concert. Dublin born Andy Byron, who is happily married with two children, was left shell shocked on Thursday evening when his phone blew up while he was on holiday with his wife. There were hundreds of messages from internet users wrongly accusing him of cheating on his spouse. Speaking to the Sunday World this weekend, the Dublin graphic designer said: 'It all started on Thursday evening. "I'm on annual leave at the moment and hadn't been looking at my phone much through the day when I started getting messages on some of my friends Whatsapp groups asking me if I had enjoyed the Coldplay gig.' Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and chief people officer Kristin Cabot on camera at the concert Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 19th "I didn't know what the story was yet, but then one of my friends sent me the link that I'm sure everyone has seen by now. 'My name isn't particularly common, this is the first other Andy Byron I've ever heard of, so obviously I found it funny. 'When I checked my LinkedIn later I saw that I was getting weird messages from people I didn't know. "They were saying things like 'you got caught bad' and 'you got what you deserved'. I just thought it was really bizarre that complete strangers would go online and send messages to someone like him when it had absolutely nothing to do with them? People can be so weird online.' Byron who runs an animation and video content studio called Stylo in Dublin said 'I'm used to making things for social media'. 'So the first thing I did was put out a message to my friends on LinkedIn saying that it couldn't have been me because I would never go to a Coldplay gig. Then I decided to change my job title from Creative Director to "NOT THE GUY FROM THE COLDPLAY GIG" in order to get no more weird messages.' That night Byron went to bed and 'didn't think too much more of it'. But the next morning when he woke there were more people 'thinking I was the infamous Andy Byron'. He says he even got a message from 'one woman asking if I was single'. His wife found it 'mildly amusing at first' but 'she's looking forward to it blowing over now". 'Especially as we're on holiday with our two kids and we were trying to stay offline while we are away,' he said. 'I think what happened was the other Andy deactivated his account just as I changed my job title, so I now come up as the first result on LinkedIn. I just find it so mad that some people take it upon themselves to reach out to people in these situations to message them. I don't know what they could possibly get out of it?' On his view of his unfortunate name sake he says: 'I feel bad for the actual people involved, especially Andy's wife and family. If this is the level of attention I'm getting, I can't imagine what it's like for them.' Meanwhile, this weekend reports are circulating this weekend that the cuddle could cost over €40m. The real man at the centre of the scandal is wealthy computer executive Andy Byron (50) and his human resource boss Kirstin Cabot (56). Byron is chief of a billion- dollar Artificial Intelligence firm, Astronomer. They are both understood to be married to other people. Footage of the incident from the Coldplay concert in a stadium of 60,000 people in Boston, Massachusetts spread across the internet on Wednesday. It shows the crowd watch on as lead singer Chris Martin joked 'oh look at these two…' Before Mr Byron ducks out of sight and Ms Cabot spins round to turn her face away from the camera. Martin then continues: 'You ok? Oh what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not sure what to do…' The video has now received over 50 million views on TikTok alone. In the past 24 hours over 22,000 news articles have been written about the couples company Astronomer, while 9,000 were written about Byron according to Muckrack data. A separate data company called Memo has also reportedly found that more people have read about the viral incident than Elon Musk's row with Donald Trump and the death of Pope Francis.

Some A-listers have revealed their plastic surgery secrets but there's a dirty habit wellness-mad celebs won't admit to
IT'S quite a smoke screen even by modern celebrity standards. I'm talking about the buff and beautiful quick to extol their clean-living credentials and - often commoditise them - while indulging in one very dirty habit. 10 Dua Lipa brazenly shows her smoking habit on her social media posts Credit: INSTAGRAM 10 Rochelle Humes back in 2021 enjoying a cigarette Credit: BackGrid 10 Bella Hadid pictured smoking cigarettes and has been known to also use vapes Credit: AFP 10 Bella Hadid's 10-step morning went viral on TikTok Credit: Tiktok/@babybella777 Yes, I'm talking about smoking. Take singer Dua Lipa – pictured lighting up in Paris earlier in the year and Not to be outdone, on-and-off again smoker And, what about ostensibly health-conscious Yes, even in these oversharing times when big names blab about their cosmetic procedures and namecheck their surgeons, the No one, it seems wants to be accused of thinking more about their waistline than their lung health or spark speculation that their lithe physiques are down to anything but iron will and Reformer Pilates. And inevitably things can be even more cloak and dagger when it comes to those raking in the big bucks from their uber lucrative side hustle. Step forward, Jennifer Aniston, whose health-oriented endorsements are rumoured to make up half of her current $20 million annual income. Remember when the actress's then-husband, Justin Theroux, posted a video of her smoking on her 53rd birthday in 2022? The incriminating footage – played out to the beat of Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' was hastily deleted, no doubt to protect a $300 million dollar brand that shows little sign of waning. Now at the age of 57, the former Friends star is back as the face of premium bottled water brand, Smartwater, and airing her ripped size two body in a new shoot for exercise brand, Pvolve, which she credits with getting her in the best shape of her life. 10 Jennifer Aniston returns as the face of smartwater in a new campaign Credit: The Mega Agency/Smartwater 10 Jennifer enjoying a smoke on the set of The Good Girl, in 2001 Credit: Getty Cigarettes may once have been welded to many a supermodel pout in the '90s without any judgement, but these days they are more likely to come with a trigger warning. New documentary, Oasis Definitely, to mark the band's 25th anniversary tour, felt it necessary to warn viewers of scenes showing 'people smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol throughout' – presumably for those sensitive souls who have only known a life since the indoor smoking ban. And I wouldn't put too much steer on singer Charlie XCX urging fans to embrace their inner brat with a 'packet of cigs and a Bic lighter'. It's a rare ripple of rebellion which will make little dent on those both riding the wellness bandwagon and buying into it as health titan Gwyneth Paltrow knows only too well. The 52-year-old former actress who founded her $250 million Goop brand in 2008 has, of course, been keen to distance herself from her heavy smoking youth. Well, that vice was never going to sit well amongst the endorphin oil, sauna blankets and mouth tape (used to promote nasal breathing during sleep) sold on the website. 10 Now she's a health, wellness and beauty guru Credit: Goop 10 Gwyneth Paltrow smoked a lot when she was younger Credit: PA:Entertainment In 2022, when interviewed by Holly Willoughby on her podcast, By The Light Of The Moon, Paltrow blamed her nicotine addiction on that age-old stress of being a multi-millionaire, Brad Pitt dating- Hollywood actress. She further revealed that she went on to allow herself a light American Spirit cigarette on Saturday nights in 2013 – before giving up completely – the kind of reformation lapped up by Goop fans awaiting every new hack and product drop. Meanwhile, it's worth noting that not-so-secret smoker and perennial party girl Kate Moss's beauty and wellness brand, Cosmoss folded last month. Launched in 2022 with products including 'aura mist' sprays and signature tea blends – it's a rare flop for the Croydon-born supermodel who usually has the commercial Midas touch.

Michael Flatley coy about possible presidential run
LAST UPDATE | 56 mins ago THE FACE OF Riverdance has not ruled out a presidential run. Michael Flatley was coy about the possibility on RTÉ Radio One's Brendan O'Connor earlier today, saying that he has been approached by many people who have asked about his intentions to run. He said that this is something he 'takes seriously'. 'I've not made the decision, but I have a team of advisers that are advising me on this. I have a huge business to run,' Flatley said. 'I have an army of dancers counting on me to make a living. I have a whiskey company, a beautiful young wife and son that I want to spend time with. 'If I thought that I could be of benefit to the Irish people and maybe more importantly, if I thought I could be a voice of the Irish people. Right now, I don't think they have a voice, not a true proper deep voice that you know that speaks their language.' Flatley said that he regularly meets 'the average man' on the street. 'I meet them all, and I hear their concerns,' he told the show, 'and I'd be lying if I said they're happy right now, and somebody has to speak for the Irish people.' The 67-year-old said that he doesn't think it's necessary for another politician to take on the role of Uachtarain na hEireann. 'It's a statesman's role, but I spent the last 30 years of my life touring the world promoting Ireland and Irish culture.' Despite his reticence in outright declaring his intention to run for the role, Flatley went on to describe his own actions as a statesman. 'I've met them all. I've met the Bushes, the Obamas, Trump, Putin. I've met the Clintons. I've met the king and queen of England. I've met the king and queen of Sweden and of Spain. Advertisement 'I've met all those people on a more cultural front, more to promote the country. And I think maybe that's what the job of president is all about.' Asked if he had been approached by a political party, Flatley said that he hadn't, but has been 'approached by some very weighted individuals… people in the know.' He concluded on the assertion that he has not made a decision, 'but it does get frustrating when you see the hard-working Irish taxpayer working as hard out and having no say in things. 'Let it be said that I stand for Ireland and the Irish people, Sin é.' Independent TD Catherine Connolly is the only candidate to have formally launched her campaign. Mairead McGuinness has been confirmed as Fine Gael's candidate but has yet to be formally ratified. 'Excellent ambassador' Speaking on RTÉ's Saturday with Colm Ó Mongáin, Kerry TD and Minister of State Michael Healy-Rae ruled himself out of the presidential race. It's after broadcaster and former Fine Gael TD Ivan Yates claimed in an interview with that Healy-Rae could be a 'dark horse'. Healy-Rae said he has a 'very clear focus' on being a TD for Kerry. However, he added that Flatley is an 'excellent ambassador for our traditions of dance and music'. 'He's a person that I know personally, and he's a very, very nice gentleman,' said Healy-Rae. Related Reads Catherine Connolly, presidential hopeful, gave her first press conference today — here's what she said Question mark over Mary Lou McDonald's potential candidacy as support for Connolly builds 'I wish him every good luck in every endeavour that he would ever had, but you can be sure of one thing, whatever name is going to be on that piece of paper, it's not going to be me.' When asked if he would support Flatley's bid, Healy-Rae said: 'I wish Michael Flatley every good luck, as I would wish everybody else, but I am not going to be coming out and signing nomination papers for any person.' He also expressed hope that the presidential race will be a 'clean campaign' with no 'nasty and dirty campaigns'. Meanwhile, Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny said his party is 'having a discussion' on whether to put forward a Sinn Féin candidate. 'Many people feel that as the largest opposition party, we should be running somebody,' said Kenny. 'Other people think we shouldn't and we should be backing somebody from a broad left-alliance. 'It's up in the air, we are considering it and we will take our time considering it. 'The election isn't going to be until November, so there's plenty of time to work out the details of all of this.' -With additional reporting from Diarmuid Pepper Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
