Conor McGregor is a shocking personality. He is at the peak of fame, creating a lot of scandals and other news reasons around him. At the same time, the famous fighter manages to maintain the image of an exemplary family man, because all these years there is one woman next to him - Dee Devlin.
Dee Devlin is known today as the wife of Conor McGregor. Few people know that in her youth she was considered a real style icon in Ireland, working as a fashion model. Today she chooses a family and is completely satisfied with her status. Being the wife of the flamboyant and outrageous MMA fighter Conor McGregor is not an easy mission.
Childhood and youth
Dee Devlin was born on August 9, 1987 in Walkinstown, Dublin, Ireland. She grew up with her sisters, Sarah and Katie. Devlin was not interested in attending school from the beginning. Much to her mother's dismay, she dropped out of school when she was 15 years old. After that, the girl took various odd jobs during her late teens and early 2000s. She had serious career plans, just as there was no talk of continuing her education. The girl dreamed of a cozy family life with a loved one, children and a big house.
Dee met Conor McGregor while he was still new to the battle scene. At that time, the future MMA star had almost no income. He moonlighted as a plumber, but it was a fickle income, which was not enough even to meet the minimum needs. Soon, even this job had to be quit, as it took up time from training and did not give the ambitious athlete the opportunity to fully recover. McGregor received only paltry unemployment benefits. Devlin worked several jobs to support Conor McGregor in his training.
Relationship with Conor McGregor
When Dee Devlin met Conor McGregor in a nightclub in Ireland, he was an unknown and not particularly handsome guy. However, according to the girl, she was impressed by the guy's sense of humor, and they began dating in 2008. McGregor was not yet signed to the UFC at the time and was still new to the fight scene. Therefore, Devlin was the primary earner for the pair to support Conor's training and career development. She not only earned money herself, but also completely adjusted her life to his training. Dee took Conor to the gym, cooked special meals for him strictly on schedule, listened to all his dreams and difficulties. This situation lasted for several years, and now Conor constantly says that without Dee he would not have been able to achieve success.
When McGregor became an established fighter, Devlin quit her job and started managing her boyfriend's team. She currently handles all financial issues and provides training schedules.
At every opportunity, Conor McGregor sincerely thanks his beloved for his successes and victories. He recognizes her tremendous role in keeping him motivated and focused throughout his long years of hard training. Devlin has been part of McGregor's success story. “Now I can give her a truly luxurious life. She can buy whatever she likes, and we can travel anywhere in the world together. I am proud that I was able to give her all this,”- said Conor in one of his interviews.
Devlin herself speaks no less sincere and warm words about her star husband. “He's cool - that's what Conor drew me to. He knows how to joke like no one in an arc, it is easy to go through life with him, - says Dee.
Currently, Dee Devlin has millions of followers on various social networks: one Instagram account alone has collected more than 1.5 million followers. She has over 60,000 followers on her Twitter page, where she usually posts information about her boyfriend's upcoming fights and events. In Ireland, Dee is often referred to as a style icon. Fans of the famous couple value Devlin's confidence, openness and sexuality.
Personal life
Dee Devlin is currently enjoying motherhood: not so long ago, a second baby was born in the McGregor family. Since Dee gave up her career to support her beloved, she takes great pleasure in Conor McGregor's success in the ring. Close people note that the wife of the two-time UFC champion is a very modest and easy-going girl. Which is why, when she was named Stylish Newcomer at the Peter Mark VIP Awards in Dublin, Dee Devlin was shocked by the title.
Now the McGregor family has the opportunity to do charity work. And again, Dee took over all the organizational issues. She conducts all kinds of promotions, attracts sponsors and, of course, spends her personal funds for good purposes. For example, not so long ago, Conor and Dee raised $ 1 million for a hospital in a small Irish town.
Not so long ago, the media stirred the news that Conor has a mistress who is expecting a child from him. For the fans of the couple, this news came as a shock. However, Dee did not react at all to this gossip. It is possible that someone simply wanted to cash in on the fighter's fame. Fortunately, the scandalous story could not destroy the relationship between Dee and Conor.
