Conor McGregor played the role of a loving father on a family vacation to the South of France amid the ongoing investigation of sexual assault against him.
McGregor, 35, who was charged with forcing a woman to perform oral sex in June, was seen enjoying the sun with his fiancée Dee Devlin, 35, and their three children.
Caught in candid moments, the MMA star was seen spending quality time with his family on the beach, playing with his kids, Conor Jr., 6, Croia Mairhead, 4, and Rian, 2.
The Irishman also shared a loving moment with Devlin, who is pregnant with the couple’s fourth child, as he kissed her baby bump.
The pair were later spotted sharing an embrace with the 35-year-old kissing his fiancee on the beach.

He lovingly put his arm around his finacee, supported her baby bump and kissed her forehead.
At one point, amidst the Mediterranean heat, McGregor seemed to cool off in the French Sea.
The water seemed to be cold and McGregor took a sharp inhalation, but he soon got used to the cool temperature as he splashed around.
The UFC icon also appeared to be staying in shape ahead of a potential fight against Michael Chandler when a topless McGregor went jogging along the coast.
The Notorious was also photographed on a family bike ride as he led the way with his two eldest children behind him on bikes with stabilisers, while Devlin grew up behind, pushing their youngest, Rian, in a pushchair.
The family trip seemed to have ended with a ride to the ice cream truck while McGregor was ordering.
The family vacation comes after the storm of sexual allegations the MMA fighter faced earlier this year.
McGregor was charged in June with forcing a woman to perform oral sex on him and attempting to sodomize her after Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The investigation is ongoing.
In a statement in June, a spokesperson for the Miami Police Department told DailyMail.com, “MPD’s Special Victims Unit is investigating a report filed on Sunday, June 11, 2023.
“This is an open investigation, so no additional information can be released at this time.”
Through representatives, McGregor has denied the allegation. A source close to McGregor said they would cooperate fully with the investigation. He insisted that the woman’s claims are false and that she is only interested in money.

Following the woman’s initial accusations, video footage surfaced later in June of McGregor ushering his sexual assault accuser into the bathroom during the NBA Finals in Miami, leaving his entourage of security guards to guard the door while they were inside.
The footage shows McGregor coming out of the bathroom and then approaching the woman, taking her hand and walking back to the bathroom.
She follows him and they disappear behind the door.
Next, McGregor’s entourage of guards are shown blocking the entrance to the door.
His lawyers said the footage undermines the woman’s original claim that he and his guards forced her to use the toilet.
Reports came out at the beginning of 2019 McGregor was under investigation by Irish law enforcement for allegedly assaulting a woman in a hotel in Dublin last December.
In October 2019, police received another complaint against McGregor from a woman who said he had sexually assaulted her in a car outside a Dublin pub.
The UFC fighter denied both claims, but was arrested at one point and questioned before being released.

His two oldest children, Conor Jr. and Croia, also rode bicycles and Devlin pushed Rian in a pram.
In 2021, prosecutors indicated they would not charge McGregor in connection with the alleged 2018 assault — nor have they taken legal action over the 2019 complaint.
The woman whose allegations sparked the initial inquiry sued McGregor for personal injury after the criminal case ended without charge, again claiming he raped her in a Dublin hotel.
That civil suit is ongoing, while the plaintiff has allowed broad discovery of material obtained by police working on the case. McGregor continues to deny the accusation.
In September 2020, McGregor was detained and questioned by authorities on the French island of Corsica in September 2020 for alleged indecency exposure and assault in a bar, spending two days in custody.
Eight months later, they stated there was insufficient evidence to warrant criminal charges. The investigation would include DNA collection that corroborated his version of events.
