Ebanie Bridges, the Australian professional boxer and former IBF women’s bantamweight champion, recently addressed the persistent speculation surrounding her relationship with UFC megastar Conor McGregor.
Rumors about their connection began circulating after they were spotted together at the Katie Taylor-Chantelle Cameron 1 boxing event in Dublin in May 2023.

Despite appearing in various social media posts together and collaborating on McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout brand since 2023, Bridges emphasized in an interview with Instant Casinos that she and McGregor are not in a romantic relationship.
She expressed frustration at having to constantly defend their friendship and dismissed the notion that they are more than friends.
Bridges bluntly addressed the rumors, suggesting that some people fantasize about their relationship and even derive excitement from it.
She emphasized that if there was any truth to the speculation, they wouldn’t be seen together publicly, and she wouldn’t actively promote McGregor’s brand. Bridges reiterated that their collaboration is purely for promotional purposes.
Furthermore, Bridges hinted at the negative impact of such rumors, suggesting that some individuals may be spreading them to either fulfill their own fantasies or to undermine both her and McGregor. She urged people to refrain from spreading unfounded rumors and emphasized the importance of kindness and support.
In a tweet posted earlier this year amid the rumors, Bridges urged fans to refrain from judging others and highlighted the challenges individuals may be facing privately.
Despite facing criticism and recently losing her IBF title, Bridges remains determined to make a triumphant comeback, underscoring the importance of support and understanding in finding personal struggles.
