Conor McGregor sparked a fresh wave of speculation after sporting a new ring that appeared to be a wedding band and hinting at marriage plans with his longtime partner, Dee Devlin.
The UFC star addressed his personal evolution and relationship, describing Devlin as his “wife-to-be” during a speaking engagement in Rome on October 23, 2025, ahead of a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event.
“I am not here just by chance. There is a higher power, God, that dictates my journey and all of our journeys,” he said. “I live my life by God’s word, since around the last time you mentioned at the last event, I have engaged on a spiritual journey. I am saved. I am healed.”
“On the back of that, the world is in for a treat,” the Irish mixed martial artist announced. “My competitive spark that was once in my heart is now a roaring blaze. I’m eager.”
“Right now I have to dial myself in and go inward, and that I’ve done, and now I’m in a stage where I come back and show what I’m about,” McGregor continued. “Now I’m here with my own family, my beautiful children, my fiancée, wife-to-be soon.”
Us Weekly breaks down five things to know about McGregor’s fiancée:
Dee Devlin Is a Crucial Part of Conor McGregor’s Business Empire
Devlin worked as a waitress and model prior to becoming a member of McGregor’s team, assisting those in management and securing promotional events as well as her fiancé before he enters the octagon.
“I definitely try to help him out all the time, even without realizing it. Especially around a fight because it’s such a tough time with his weight,” she shared in a 2015 profile with ESPN. “I cook, clean, pack his gym bag, all that kind of stuff.”
She also assists with his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve.
Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor Have Been Together for Nearly 2 Decades
The duo met in 2008, crossing paths at a nightclub in Dublin, where she was employed at the time.
“I knew her a bit beforehand, but I think the first time I spoke to her properly was when I saw her in a nightclub,” McGregor told VIP Magazine in July 2015. “I asked her to come over and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls.”
McGregor popped the question to Devlin on August 9, 2020, which marked her 33rd birthday.
“What a birthday, my future wife,” the former UFC Featherweight captioned his announcement via Instagram.
The Couple Share 4 Children Together
Devlin and McGregor have welcomed four children together over the years.
They first expanded their family with the birth of son Conor Jr., born in May 2017; then daughter Croía, born in January 2019; followed by son Rian, who arrived in May 2021; and son Mack, born in November 2023.
Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor Have Weathered Controversy
The MMA fighter was spotted kissing a mystery woman in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in July 2025, as seen in photos obtained by The Sun.
Devlin shared a post from a fan account to her own Instagram Story soon after, which read: “Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.”
McGregor has yet to speak publicly about the pictures.
She Remained by His Side After His Legal Battle
In November 2024, McGregor was found liable for the sexual assault of a woman stemming from an incident that took place in a Dublin hotel room in 2018.
He was ordered to pay the woman roughly $257,000 after denying the accusations, claiming to only have had consensual sex with her.

“People want to hear from me, I needed time,” McGregor wrote via X in a now-deleted tweet. “I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.”
He continued, “As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision,” he said. “I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym — the fight game awaits!”
McGregor lost his appeal against the verdict in July 2025.
