Conor McGregor And Dee Devlin's Relationship Timeline, Inside Their Love Story And Growing Family

Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin have been together for more than a decade, and their relationship has stayed in the spotlight through every stage of the UFC star’s career. Recently, McGregor again grabbed attention after rapper, Azealia Banks made serious claims against him on social media. As fans once again turned their focus toward his personal life, many also started looking back at his relationship with longtime partner, Dee Devlin and the family they built together.

The couple first met before McGregor became one of the biggest names in MMA. Since then, Devlin has remained beside him through his early struggles, championship wins, business ventures, and family life. Today, the pair share four children and continue to appear together during many important moments in McGregor’s career.

How Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin first met before UFC fame?

Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin first crossed paths in Ireland when they were still very young. McGregor later shared that he had seen her before, but things really started after they properly spoke at a nightclub. Speaking to VIP Magazine, McGregor explained how their connection began naturally during a casual conversation. He said: 

“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. I asked her to come over, and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls.” 

Devlin was also drawn to McGregor early on because of his personality and dedication to fighting. At that time, he was still trying to make a name for himself in MMA and had not yet reached worldwide fame. As McGregor’s UFC journey slowly started taking off, Devlin stayed close to him during difficult years when money was tight and his future in the sport was uncertain. In a 2015 interview shared by Sport Bible, McGregor openly thanked her for standing by him from the beginning. Over the years, Devlin also became involved in the business side of McGregor’s career. Along with supporting him personally, she has helped manage several of his brands and public projects. He said:

“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.”

In August 2020, McGregor proposed to Devlin during her birthday celebrations. He later announced the engagement on Instagram with a photo showing the couple celebrating together while, Devlin displayed her engagement ring. The UFC star wrote, “What a birthday, my future wife!” Even though they have now been engaged for more than four years, the couple have continued focusing heavily on family life and raising their children together.

Their first child, Conor Jack Jr., was born in 2017. Two years later, the family grew again when they welcomed their daughter Croia in 2019. Their third child, Rian, arrived in 2021, followed by their youngest son, Mack, in 2023. McGregor often shares moments with his children online, including vacations, birthday parties, training sessions, and family celebrations. 

Devlin also regularly posts family pictures and updates on social media, giving fans a closer look at their day-to-day life away from the UFC spotlight. While McGregor’s fighting career has remained busy with UFC appearances, business deals, and public controversies, Devlin has largely kept the family side of their lives steady in the background.

Conor McGregor's controversies keep bringing attention to Dee Devlin's relationship

In recent years, McGregor’s personal life has repeatedly become part of major headlines. The latest attention came after Azealia Banks accused him of sending inappropriate messages and images through direct messages on social media. McGregor has not publicly responded in detail to the accusations as of now. The renewed attention surrounding the controversy pushed fans to revisit McGregor’s long relationship with Devlin, especially because the pair have remained together through many public ups and downs. Despite constant media attention around McGregor’s fighting career and personal controversies, Devlin has continued supporting him publicly.
