Behind every (multi-million dollar) man lies a support crew.
And for 29-year-old Conor McGregor aka The Notorious, who is set to fight Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas in what’s being dubbed the Fight of the Century, he finds his strength from his long-term partner Dee Devlin and their three-month-old son, Conor Jack McGregor.
So, who is Dee Devlin?
Conor met 30-year-old Dee in a nightclub in Dublin back in 2009 and they’ve been together ever since. “I asked her to come over and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls,” he told VIP Magazine of their fateful first encounter.
The Irish-born beauty says she was drawn to Conor’s sense of humour. “He’s very funny – he always keeps me entertained and makes me laugh,” Dee admitted.
While Conor loves that Dee was with him before he found success and working as an apprentice plumber.
He credits her support for where he is today. “My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially nothing. I only had a dream that I was telling her,” he explained to the Irish Mirror.

“For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she’s ever wanted and to travel the world with, fills me with pride.”
“I’m doing all this for her!”
Once the star’s UFC career started to take off, Dee quit her job and now works on Conor’s team managing his finances and helping with his intense training schedule.
“She does not work anymore, I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques,” Conor revealed.
In May this year the couple welcomed their first child together, a gorgeous boy called Conor Jnr. And while he might be about to try and punch the living daylight out of Floyd Mayweather, it turns out Conor McGregor is a secret softie around his mini-me son.
A star in his own right thanks to Conor and Dee’s heart-melting social media snaps, Conor Jnr. is the UFC star’s biggest achievement year.
McGregor is set to pocket at least $USD30 million alone just from stepping in the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada tonight, but it’s clear he’s already a winner.
