Conor McGregor is the biggest star mixed martial arts has produced, and his relationship with Dee Devlin has lasted through it all. The former two-division UFC champion met Devlin at a Dublin nightclub back in 2008, when he was a 19-year-old plumbing apprentice still years away from UFC stardom, and she became his biggest support system through the early struggles of his career. McGregor proposed on Devlin's birthday in August 2020, and the couple, who share four children together, finally married in a private December 2025 ceremony at the Church of Santo Stefano degli Abissini inside Vatican City. Known for explosive left-hand power and relentless self-belief, McGregor has repeatedly credited Devlin's loyalty for helping build his combat sports legacy from the ground up.
Conor McGregor and his longtime partner Dee Devlin exchanged vows in a private ceremony held at the Church of Santo Stefano degli Abissini inside Vatican City in December 2025, bringing a relationship spanning nearly two decades to a formal and celebrated milestone.
McGregor, now 38, first met Devlin at a Dublin nightclub in 2008, at a time when he was a 19-year-old plumbing apprentice with UFC stardom still a distant prospect. Devlin stood by him through the lean years of that journey, and McGregor has repeatedly credited her loyalty as a foundational pillar of everything he built in combat sports. He proposed on her birthday in August 2020, and the couple, who share four children together, kept the Vatican ceremony private. The Irishman fights out of SBG Ireland as a southpaw standing 175 centimeters tall with a 188-centimeter reach, and holds a professional MMA record of 22 wins and 7 losses. A former two-division UFC champion, he averaged 5.27 significant strikes landed per minute across his career with a striking accuracy of 49 percent — numbers that reflect the explosive left-hand power that made him the sport's biggest crossover star.
Why it matters
- McGregor's personal story, from Dublin apprentice to global icon, has always been inseparable from his public profile, and this chapter adds to it.
- Devlin has been a visible and consistent presence throughout his rise, making the union meaningful to a fanbase that has followed the couple for years.
- The Vatican City setting underlines the scale and theatricality McGregor has brought to every major moment of his life, inside the cage and beyond.
