Conor McGregor Greets Himself 'Happy Birthday' Amid Nude Scandal, Mystery Woman Controversy

Conor McGregor is once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Just days after American rapper Azealia Banks accused him of sending explicit images via direct message, the UFC fighter has now been photographed getting intimate with an unidentified woman on a beach.

Despite the scandals, McGregor appeared unfazed, taking to social media to celebrate his birthday.

'Happy Birthday to Me,' Says McGregor Amid Controversy

On Tuesday, a day after his 37th birthday, McGregor broke his silence following a series of viral leaks. Banks had earlier claimed that the UFC fighter sent her explicit photos via direct messages on X (formerly Twitter). Not long after, paparazzi photos surfaced showing McGregor with a woman who was clearly not his fiancée.

Still, McGregor posted a cheerful message to his fans. 'Happy birthday to me!' he wrote on his verified X account, a post that quickly racked up more than 12 million views, over 100,000 likes, and thousands of comments.

Social Media Reacts: Mixed Messages from Fans and Critics

Given McGregor's recent controversies, the reaction on social media was swift and polarising. While some fans wished him well, many others took the opportunity to criticise and mock the UFC star.

'Nudes leaked on your birthday. We've all been there. Happy birthday lad,' one user joked. Another comment read: 'So we aren't going to talk about the elephant in the room, huh?'

Some users even resurfaced McGregor's nude scene from his role as Knox in the 2024 Road House remake, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Others referenced past legal issues, including rape allegations that McGregor has consistently denied and for which no criminal charges were filed.

While many comments were harsh, a number of fans continued to support the athlete. 'Despite everything, still one of the greatest fighters ever,' wrote one follower.

Dee Devlin Remains Supportive

According to News18, McGregor's longtime partner and fiancée Dee Devlin appears unbothered by the wave of negative press. In newly surfaced photos taken in Florida, McGregor was seen laying down a towel and kissing an unidentified woman, fuelling rumours of infidelity.

Instead of reacting with criticism, Devlin posted a supportive message on Instagram: 'Happy birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.' She also shared several personal photos of the couple smiling together.

Devlin has stood by McGregor in the past, including during a previous civil lawsuit involving serious allegations. In an earlier post, she wrote: 'I love him, I trust him, and I believe him. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong.'

What's Next for McGregor?

As of now, McGregor has not issued any public comment addressing either the leaked images or his appearance with the unidentified woman. While the controversies continue to unfold, his birthday post suggests he is choosing to focus on personal celebration rather than public criticism.

Whether the backlash will impact his public image or future career moves remains to be seen. For now, the fighter's message is clear: he is not letting the drama get in the way of his day.
