The woman who has stood by Conor McGregor.

Throughout their 16-year relationship, Dee Devlin has stood by Conor McGregor's side through both triumphs and controversies — including a highly-publicised civil rape case.

In November 2024, a woman named Nikita Hand won a civil suit against McGregor after claiming he sexually assaulted her in a hotel room in 2018.

The High Court in Dublin ordered the mixed martial artist to pay Ms Hand almost €250,000 ($406,515 AUD) in damages. McGregor said he would appeal the verdict, arguing that their relations were consensual.

"I know I made mistakes," he wrote on X. "Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That's all on me.

"As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision."

McGregor's fiancée Devlin also responded to the controversy, writing on Instagram: "No one is entitled to comment on our relationship — we trust one another and love one another."

How did Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin meet?

Originally from a small town in Dublin, Ireland, Dee Devlin left school at 15 and worked various jobs — including waitressing and modelling — before meeting McGregor in 2008 at a nightclub.

"I asked her to come over and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls," McGregor told VIP magazine.

Devlin added: "He was already training when I met him, so I really admired his dedication to that."

What does Dee Devlin do for a living?

Dee Devlin played a significant role in McGregor's early career, helping manage his finances and training schedules when money was tight.

Over time, she became an integral part of his management and promotional team, contributing to ventures like his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. The brand, however, cut ties with McGregor following the verdict in the civil case.

Speaking about Devlin's role in his career, McGregor told MMA Fighting: "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.

"She does not work anymore; I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques.

"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."

Are Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin still together?

Despite a turbulent relationship and public scrutiny, Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin are still together.

In an Instagram post about the recent civil suit verdict, Devlin shared that she and McGregor have dealt with "these issues" privately for many years ago and "have come out stronger than ever".

As for how long Conor McGregor has been with Dee Devlin? They have been together for 16 years. And, while they aren't yet married, McGregor did propose to Devlin in August 2020.

The athlete was celebrating his 32nd birthday when he popped the question in the south of France, writing on Instagram: "What a birthday, my future wife!"

How many children do Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin have?

Connor McGregor has four children with Dee Devlin, including three sons and one daughter.

The pair welcomed their first son Conor Jr. in 2017. Their first daughter Croía joined the family in 2019, followed by sons Rían and Mack in 2021 and 2023 respectively.

After becoming a father for the first time, the mixed martial artist said he felt "softer" as a person.

"I'm very proud and very blessed every day," he said on RTÉ's The Late Late Show. "I'm overcome with joy and love. I never thought I would be that way."

Devlin made reference to her children when responding to McGregor's recent sexual assault scandal. Addressing McGregor's accuser Hand, she wrote on Instagram: "My sons will be warned women like you exist."

In a separate post, the 37-year-old insisted that she and McGregor have "created a beautiful life together".

"I love him I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM!" she wrote. "Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are!"
