Conor McGregor says 'happy birthday sexy' to Dee Devlin as couple shut down shop
The former two-weight UFC champion's fiancée turns 38 on Saturday and was all smiles as she went shopping with McGregor despite the latest controversies involving him.
The pair visited a BVLGARI jewellery shop, which McGregor claims was shut for them, with the MMA star also splashing money on a Chanel handbag for his long-time partner.
Sharing pictures on Instagram, McGregor wrote: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEXY." He later shared an image of him and Devlin together, commenting: "I PROMISE!"
It comes as the Irish Mirror learned that gardai will not re-open the investigation into McGregor over the alleged rape of Nikita Hand - and consider the case closed.
The shopping trip also comes just weeks after the multi-millionaire was spotted sharing intimate moments with an unidentified woman on a Florida beach and after rapper Azealia Banks alleged he sent her unwanted explicit images.
At the time, sources suggested that, despite the couple's united front, deeper troubles may be brewing beneath the surface.
One insider told the Mail: "We are being told to believe that this is a happy, loving relationship behind all the headlines. I think a lot of things clearly point to the fact that she is not.
"From early on in the relationship, she has had a great deal to cope with. I would be very concerned with how much she can take."
According to The Sun, another source said: "Dee is incredibly loyal and Conor knows that. She is often there with him behind the scenes, but just not in the limelight.
"He has also made it very clear he is bankrolling her now, which plays a huge part in the dynamic of their relationship - and makes it almost impossible for her to leave. Conor McGregor with Dee Devlin (Image: (Photo by CHRISTOPHE SIMON / AFP) (Photo by CHRISTOPHE SIMON/AFP via Getty Images))
"She quietly accepts his behaviour and because she's been there from the beginning, she's always willing to move on. She'll stick with him, even if he pushes her loyalty in return."
McGregor and Devlin first met in a Dublin nightclub back in 2008, with Devlin pulling pints behind the bar. Their romance blossomed over online chats, well before McGregor punched his way to global fame.
Devlin, hailing from Walkinstown, not far from McGregor's Crumlin, crossed paths with him as he ditched his plumbing apprenticeship to pursue UFC stardom. At the time, she was juggling waitressing with a bit of modelling on the side, all before McGregor's star shot up.
Upon entering the Octagon for the first time, McGregor didn't mince words about his drive. He declared: "I'm doing this to secure my family's future and Dee's future. One day, I want myself and Dee to be able to chill on a beach and not have any worry in the world."
McGregor and Devlin, who have been engaged since August 2020, are parents to four children.
Conor Jr., who arrived in 2017, was their first child followed by their daughter Croia in 2019.
Rian made was boren two years on, and come November 2023, Mack made it a family of six.
