Conor McGregor‘s fiancee Dee Devlin was an ever-present by his side throughout his recent sexual assault court case – with her social media posts making clear she intends to stand by the MMA star.
But despite McGregor’s huge net worth, which has been estimated by Celebrity Net Worth at around £160m, Devlin could hardly be accused of being a gold-digger, having first met McGregor when he was unemployed and unknown.
The couple met as teenagers back in 2008 in a nightclub and Devlin has been a key player in the MMA star’s story, supporting him when he was jobless and focused fully on making it as a professional fighter.
McGregor, 36, told VIP magazine: ‘I asked her to come over and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls.’
Devlin added: ‘He was already training when I met him, so I really admired his dedication to that.’
Speaking to MMA Fighting, McGregor said: ‘I love to spoil her. She does not work anymore, I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques.
‘Dee worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing. I only had a dream that I was telling her.
‘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. We’ve been together a long time. She’s been through it all with me.’

The pair have been together for 15 years and are not married – but did get engaged in August 2020 after McGregor proposed while they were celebrating his 32nd birthday.
McGregor popped the question in the south of France, writing on Instagram: “What a birthday, my future wife!”
However, the civil case against McGregor has clearly hit the couple hard, with a photo of a drawn and distraught looking Devlin leaving the court with her fiance going viral.
McGregor lost the civil case as jurors at the High Court in Dublin found him liable of raping Nikita Hand, 35, in a Dublin hotel on December 9, 2018, with the judge awarding Hand €250,000 in damages.
But despite the verdict, Devlin has emphatically made clear that she intends to back McGregor – attacking Hand in a series of posts on Instagram.
In the posts she wrote: ‘Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago, as should be done in a relationship and we have come out stronger than ever.
‘We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!’
All four of their children are under 10 years old, with their oldest, Conor Jr, being born on May 6, 2017.

McGregor announced his arrival with a photo on Instagram captioned “Dee and Junior are doing great everyone! Thank you for all the kind words, I am one proud and blessed Daddy.”
McGregor took Conor Jr to media events in the run-up to his fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2017 when he was just weeks old.
A few months after that fight McGregor said: “When he grows up, I’m going to put him into sport. I believe sport is the best thing you can do. I’ve already begun training him. He’s already leaps and bounds ahead of schedule.”
McGregor has supported his eldest son’s budding interest in MMA and boxing and Conor Jr, now 7, can regularly seen on his father’s Instagram page being taught the basics of the fight game.
Born in 2019, McGregor’s only daughter, Croia Mairéad, is five. Devlin confirmed her pregnancy with Croía on Instagram when celebrating her husband’s 30th birthday.
After her birth, McGregor wrote on Instagram: “Heading home with my two healthy babies and an energized and healthy SuperMam.”
Croía has been in attendance at some of her father’s fights and McGregor has shared some of their father-daughter moments on Instagram.
In April 2023, McGregor posted a series of photos of himself and Croía out to dinner and in January 2024, McGregor and Devlin threw a mermaid-themed party for Croía’s 5th birthday.

In 2023 the couple welcomed their fourth child Mack, with McGregor announcing his wife’s pregnancy on an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark a few months previously.
Following Mack’s birth, McGregor posted on Instagram: ‘Another chunky healthy boy into the world. Dee, you are my hero’.
McGregor and Devlin live a lavish lifestyle at their home in Kildare, around a 40-minute drive from Dublin, in a property that McGregor purchased in 2019 after becoming two-weight champion when he was at the peak of his powers in the octagon.
The house was bought for around £2.5million and previously belonged to the son of former Irish taoiseach (prime minister) Albert Reynolds, Albert Jr.
Known as The Paddocks, the home contains five bedrooms and six bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen and games room.
And in keeping with its name, the house comes with its own equestrian facilities, including stables near the landscaped garden looking out onto the river Liffey.
McGregor and Devlin were understood to be interested in a couple of other properties in the same area, including homes in Straffan and Barberstown, before settling on their new home in Castledillon, according to The Irish Times.

One of them was owned by Formula One legend Eddie Irvine and U2 lead singer Bono would have been their neighbour.
The exact figure of McGregor’s net worth is unknown however in an interview with the Irish Mirror, the UFC fighter boasted he was closing in on a billion euros.
McGregor said: ‘I think I’m at about $650m (£516m) all in I’ve made. I think they (Forbes) estimate that.
‘I’d have to probably do my own little check of that. But I fancy my chances, I fancy my chances of getting up that list.’
His fortune from fighting has been enhanced by his businesses. McGregor sold his stake in Proper No. 12 Whiskey for an estimated £128m and interest in the Forged Irish Stout he launched is spreading like wildfire.
The former UFC lightweight double-champion owns two Lamborghinis and four Rolls Royce’s in a supercar collection worth over £2.5m.
McGregor’s custom Rolls-Royce Ghost, which is worth a cool £280,000, features an image of himself with his trademark moniker ‘Notorious’ on the side of the car.
The stunning matte black motor was given to him as a gift by Rolls Royce ahead of his New York showdown with Eddie Alvarez in 2016 at UFC 205.

He is also said to own a Rolls-Royce Wraith which is worth roughly £250,000, a Rolls-Royce Dawn (£285,000) and Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII (£340,000).
McGregor has two Lamborghini Aventadors, one of which is in white and costs £280,000 while the other is a green convertible worth £276,515.
Other cars in the Irishman’s fleet include a £200,000 BMW i8, a £198,000 McLaren 650S sports car and a £110,570 Mercedes-AMG S 550 Coupe.
On top of this he also has a £110,000 Bentley Continental GT, a £75,000 Cadillac Escalade and two Range Rovers worth over £90,000 each.
Conor’s car collection also extends to his fiancee’s vehicle, since in 2023 he bought her a brand new £130,000 Range Rover.
McGregor has amassed the ultimate watch collection too, ranging from loud multi-million pound pieces by Jacob & Co. to more traditional Rolexes and Patek Philippe’s.
And his riches extends from the land to the sea. In 2019, McGregor bought a Prestige 750 yacht which has a price tag of around £3m.
The 75-foot boat was inspired by Muhammad Ali and features a quote from him that reads: ‘He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.’
Two years later he also purchased a £2.6m Lamborghini Tecnomar 63 motor yacht, one of only 63 in the world.
