McGregor and Dee, who have been engaged since 2020, walked together as they left the High Court in Dublin.

She cut a dark figure as she held the UFC star’s hand as they faced a throng of photographers.

Now she has broken her silence, posting a story that read: “Conor and I dealt with these issues privately years ago, as a relationship should, and we’ve come out stronger than ever.

“Now we have four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts testify to who he is and who we are!”

McGregor, 36, has been accused of “raping and beating” Ms Hand, allegations he has vehemently denied.

MMA fighter Conor said he had consensual sex with Handa, but a jury found in her favor – and the court awarded the plaintiff just over £200,000 in damages.

Notorious revealed he would appeal the High Court decision, but expressed his “regret” for the “mistakes”.

In a statement on social media, he wrote: “People want to hear me, it took me time. I know I was wrong.

“I should never have stepped on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.

“I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.

“I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am extremely grateful to my family, friends and fans around the world who have stuck by me.

“That’s it. No more. Back to the gym – the fighting game awaits!”

McGregor and Dee, who have been engaged since 2020, have four children together.

The couple grew up in nearby towns, had mutual friends and saw each other at a nightclub where Dee worked in 2008.

Conor has always maintained that his fiancee was instrumental in his success story, supporting him when he was unemployed and wanted to fight in the UFC.

In another interview with MMA Fighting, McGregor also revealed how instrumental Dee was in running the show.

He said, “I like to pamper her. She doesn’t work anymore, I hired her in the business. Now she works for me and collects the checks.

“Dee has worked really hard over the years and stuck by me when I had absolutely nothing. I only had a dream that I told her about.

“For me, being able to pick her up from work, give her everything she’s ever wanted and travel the world with her fills me with pride. That’s what keeps me going. We’ve been together for a long time. She’s been through it all with me.”

The McGregors live in a £2.5 million home in Kildare, a 40-minute drive from Dublin.

They are holidaying in Marbella, where they have a £1.3m villa in the exclusive gated development The Heights on the estate of La Resina Country Club.

Their debut was son Conor Jr, who regularly appears on his dad’s Instagram page.

McGregor’s only daughter Croia is five, while his second son Rian is three.

Only last year they had a third boy whom they named Mack.
