Who Is Conor McGregor's Girlfriend? New Details On Dee Devlin
They've been together for a decade!
Instagram Who is Conor McGregor's girlfriend? Conor McGregor is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) names in the UFC. Naturally, he has a big team (some might call it an entourage) supporting his training and career. The biggest supporter and cheerleader on his team is his long time girlfriend, Dee Devlin. Conor and Dee have been together since 2008. Dee has stuck by her Conor through everything and The Notorious rarely misses a chance to give her a shout out.
He once said: "My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing." And she gives shout outs right back, she has called her boyfriend "the true definition of a champion." This Irish power couple's love for one another is clear. Let's take a look at the details about Dee Devlin and her life with Conor McGregor.
1. Where is she from?
Dee is from the Walkinstown area of Dublin, Ireland. She was born on August 9, 1987. She is proud of her Irish heritage. After one of McGregor's wins in Las Vegas, she posted to Twitter: "The Irish are truly the best supporters in the world."
2. She stands by her man
Dee and Conor have been together since long before he was a global UFC superstar. She quit her job so that she could be available to travel with and support Connor. She manages the couple's finances and is an official part of the McGregor Team's payroll. McGregor said of his love, "For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she's ever wanted and to travel the world with her fills me with pride. It keeps me going."
Dee and Conor have stuck by each other through thick and thin. Dee lavishes praise on Conor as well, after one win, she took to Instagram to post: "To say that I am proud is a MAJOR understatement! I am so on cloud 9 right now I can't even put it into words! Thank you to every single person who made the trip out to Vegas to support Conor last night! The place was absolutely buzzin! Hours upon hours, years upon years of hard work and complete dedication to his craft accumulated last night. I am so grateful right now it's overwhelming. We did it babe!! I love you more than anything."
3. Their (growing) family
Dee has been quiet on social media lately. We just found out why, she is expecting the couple's second child soon! A few days ago, Conor revealed that he was launching a whiskey company. Dee took to Instagram and Twitter and said: "Congratulations babe! Our (growing) family is so proud of you. You work so hard at all that you do and your whiskey is no different. Looking forward to drinking some Proper Twelve with you in just a few more months." The couple already have a son together, Conor Jack McGregor Jr. He was born May 5, 2017.
4. A taste for the finer things
McGregor has spoken about how he loves to spoil Dee. He's also been known to treat himself to some blingy things. Dee posted the photo below of the couple's new, expensive watches on Instagram and captioned it: "His and Hers."
5. She has always believed in him
Dee and Conor have been together since long before he was an MMA success. But Dee always knew that Conor would make it. She was once asked what she thought about her love's success. Dee said it was only a matter of time. "He's always been super confident, we always knew this was going to happen — it was nearly like we were predicting the future. It's weird for me to say but we just always knew he was going to get to this level and every few months it just keeps going and going and going and the sky is the limit."
6. She still gets nervous
Dee told Underground MMA that she's even more nervous as time goes on when Conor fights. "I find I'm more nervous now — the first time I went to see Conor fight there was 50 people in a room, and I thought 'There's no way you can be more nervous than this' but each time it's just getting that more and more nerve-wracking. Especially watching someone you care about getting in the ring — it definitely gets me in the gut I have to say."
7. McGregor credits his success to Dee
Conor McGregor thinks that his career would have turned out differently if he didn't have Dee. "My girlfriend has been there since the start. She has helped me throughout this career. If It wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't be where I am today." A few years ago he told VIP Magazine, "Everyday since I started in this game, she’s supported me. She’d drive me to the gym, and she’d listen to all my dreams. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for her. I’m doing all this for her."
