McGregor and Devlin have been in a relationship for eight years now. They met at a nightclub in Dublin and hit it off instantly. By the looks of it, Devlin is her boyfriend’s biggest fan and supporter. She decided to quit her job to support him and travel with him. Soon after, McGregor hired his girlfriend as an official member of his team. Now, her job is to manage his finances and she often helps him train.

Conor McGregor is so in love with Devlin and constantly says that he owes his achievement to his long-time girlfriend. During an interview, he said, “My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially nothing.” He further added, “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.”

When Dee Devlin was asked about what she thinks of McGregor’s success, she responded with, “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.”

Although Devlin is supportive of her boyfriend’s career, there are times when the 28-year-old gets nervous when McGregor goes in the ring, “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.”

Devlin also supports her boyfriend in the smallest ways possible, “I definitely try to help him out all the time, even without realizing it especially around a fight because it’s such a tough time with his weight. I cook, clean, pack his gym bag, all that kind of stuff.”
