Conor McGregor has become a father for the second time.

The UFC star announced on Friday that he has welcomed his second child with girlfriend Dee Devlin.

Conor headed home from hospital with his new bundle of joy, saying his year was getting off to the best start.

He shared a photo of himself leaving hospital carrying his new baby and holding his older son Conor Jrs hand. Conor and Dee welcomed Conor Jr in May 2017.

2019 is off to the best start! Thank you for the well wishes everybody!

The fighter is keeping whether the baby is a boy or girl and the childs name under wraps.

Maybe he will be wetting the babys head with a glass or two of his whiskey, Proper Twelve.

McGregor recently issued an update to his supporters on Twitter that he plans on returning to the OctaRing this year, hinting at a return to boxing.

2019 is when we launch in the U.K and Australia!
2019 is when I will also be back inside the OctaRing!
We are very excited!
Thank you for the support brother ? https://t.co/jVm7ujWIvq
