The sensational story has quickly attracted attention from football supporters, with fans questioning whether there is any truth behind the rumours and what they could mean for the couple.
However, there is currently no credible evidence confirming the allegation, and neither McBurnie nor Fitzgerald has publicly confirmed that such an incident took place.
McBurnie remains focused on his football career with Hull City. The Scotland international is a recognised striker and continues to be an important attacking option for the club.
For now, supporters are being urged to treat the circulating claims with caution and avoid presenting social-media speculation as established fact.
