Conor McGregor has announced that his fourth child is on the way.

The UFC star and his fiancée Dee Devlin are already parents to three children: Conor Jr (6), Croía (4), and Rían (2) but are getting ready to welcome the newest member of the family.

Taking to social media on Wednesday, McGregor shared some photos of him posing with his pregnant wife shortly before they headed off to the hospital.

The pair looked delighted, beaming as they held hands outside the car.

Captioning the post, the Dubliner wrote: “Up early tomorrow to bring our new baby boy into this world, say a prayer for us! Let’s go Mammy”.

Conor’s sister Erin sent on her well wishes to the expecting parents, writing: “so excited guys, sending mama dee the best of luck, love you both".

Dee’s sister Sarah said: “Can’t bloody wait! Sienna won’t be the youngest anymore. Let’s go wonder Mammy”.

Another follower chimed in, saying: “Sending lots of love and prayers for a smooth delivery”.

And someone else added: “Good luck tomorrow Dee & Conor. Thinking of you all”.

It comes after gardaí confirmed that they were investigating the fighter for his alleged incitement to hatred in relation to last Thursday’s riots in Dublin city centre.

Last Friday the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) commenced a major investigation into incitement of hatred over the violence that broke out.

There have been no arrests yet in this strand of the investigation.

“Gardaí are examining posts that Conor McGregor made to determine if this led to anyone being later incited to commit criminal acts,” a source said this week.

“However there are a lot more people than him who are being investigated for allegedly inciting those riots including plenty of who might be described as so-called ordinary members of the public who were not previously known to gardaí.”

Gardaí are examining a number of people in relation to this investigation, several of which are described as “the usual far right agitators” who were inciting hatred online on Thursday and encouraging their followers and associates to travel into the city centre.

At least five of these individuals have been identified so far by the NBCI team in relation to their internet activity on Thursday night in terms of inciting hatred.

These people have previously been investigated for similar offences linked to anti immigration protests.

“Exact total figures are still not available because gardaí are still in the process of identifying how many were involved in this alleged offence on the day. This will take time,” the source pointed out.

“This is ongoing as a large number of social media platforms need to be examined. This is not just Twitter, it is Facebook, it is Instagram and a large variety of other social media,” the source added.
