Dee Devlin's gilded cage: Conor McGregor's fiancée who works for him and 'collects the cheques' stood by him after rape case, now he's kissed another woman and 'sexted' Azealia Banks - so, what would it take for her to walk away?
While many likely would have left behind the Irish UFC fighter, 37, years ago, his fiancée has stood by him amid a myriad of scandals - making her support clear through social media posts.
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.
The family, with four children, enjoys a luxury lifestyle of constant getaways abroad, with Conor once known for having a £300,000 Rolls Royce and £2.6 million luxury yacht in his possessions.
Although his future reputation remains unclear, Conor's net worth was in 2023 estimated to be around a staggering £160 million - with top US sports analysts once so sure of his money-making prowess, they claimed he'd become a billionaire by the time he's 35.
However, despite the athlete once boasting that 'being able to take her out of work, give her everything she's ever wanted and to travel the world with her filled him with pride', Dee's unwavering loyalty has faced a lot of tests.
This weekend alone, Conor couldn't keep his hands off of a mystery brunette woman on a busy Florida beach over the weekend as they were pictured kissing - with the photos coming on the heels of rapper Azealia Banks accusing him of sexual harassment.
She posted two shocking photos - seemingly of McGregor - posing in the mirror while completely naked, which she alleges he sent to her via direct message on X despite not following him.
'How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,' she wrote alongside the screenshots. '@TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM.'
She continued: 'Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam? Use some f***ing sunscreen damn'.
As well as the alleged nude selfies, the screenshots also show a message from what appears to be McGregor's account reading: 'Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught'.
Alongside one image which seemingly shows his manhood strapped to a dumbbell, the Irish fighter apparently wrote: 'Lifting weights'.
Banks then shared another screenshot of the alleged pictures suddenly being 'hidden' on X because she does not follow McGregor's account. Although it is unclear if he had anything to do with that change, she commented: 'The motherf***er woke up early LOL.'
At the time, DailyMail.com had reached out to the last-known attorneys on record for Conor McGregor, his agent and Azealia Banks' agent for comment.
And while Dee now enjoys the spoils of living in a £2.5million home in Kildare, a 40-minute drive from Dublin with their children Conor Jr, eight, daughter, Croia, five, and sons Rian, three and Mack, who was born in 2023 - she had first met Conor when he didn't have a penny to his name.
They met as teenagers back in 2008 in a nightclub and Dee is a key part of the MMA star's story having supported him when he was unemployed and committing himself fully to making it as a professional fighter.
Elsewhere, Conor told MMA Fighting how he loves to 'spoil' Dee. Both pictured during the Cannes Film Festival in 2022
He previously 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.'
'He was already training when I met him, so I really admired his dedication to that,' she added.
Elsewhere, Conor told MMA Fighting how he loves to 'spoil' Dee.
'She does not work anymore, I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques,' he explained.
'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... We've been together a long time. She's been through it all with me.'
Despite this - as the damning snaps emerged over this weekend - Dee has brushed off the photos as she posted a birthday tribute to her long-term partner on Monday.
'Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile,' she shared a post from a fan account on her Instagram story.
Proving all is well, she also reposted a series of pictures of herself and McGregor together from a fan account.
It's not the first time she has demonstrated utmost devotion to her fiancé. McGregor lost his 2024 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, Dee has emphatically made clear that she intends to back McGregor - attacking Hand in a series of posts on Instagram at the time.
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!'
The exact figure of McGregor's current net worth is unknown however in an interview with Megan Olivi in 2023 - via the Irish Mirror - the UFC fighter boasted: I'm closing in on a billion now.
'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 family live in a house which was bought for around £2.5million - and previously belonged to the son of former taoiseach (prime minister) Albert Reynolds' son, Albert Jr.
It is known as The Paddocks, comprises of five bedrooms and six bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen and games room and stables near the landscaped garden looking out onto the river Liffey.
The couple were also understood to be interested in a couple of other properties in the same area. One of them was owned by Formula One legend Eddie Irvine and U2 lead singer Bono would have been their neighbour had they opted for that one.

Sharon Osbourne's haunting tribute to Cosby Show star just hours before Ozzy's death was announced
Sharon Osbourne shared a heartfelt tribute to Malcolm-Jamal Warner just hours before her family confirmed the death of her husband, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy, the iconic Black Sabbath frontman, died Tuesday at age 76. A statement from his family revealed he passed earlier that day and had been 'surrounded by love.' Strikingly, not long before news of Ozzy's passing became public, Sharon shared a touching message in memory of Warner, who tragically died the day prior at 54 in a reported drowning accident. On her Instagram story, Sharon, 72, posted a video of Warner smiling while driving, wearing a baseball cap decorated with a flower for his daughter. In the clip, the actor shares an uplifting message about finding joy in everyday moments. 'No matter what's going on, there's always a reason to smile,' Warner says in the video. 'If you just take a minute to stop and take stock, I guarantee you can find at least one reason to smile.' He continued: 'And if for some reason you can't find a reason to smile, then that's probably the best time to be the reason for somebody else to smile.' Sharon captioned her tribute: 'Beautiful. Rest in peace @malcolmjamalwarner.' Ozzy's death comes just two weeks after his final performance at the Back to the Beginning concert, where he reunited on stage with his fellow Black Sabbath bandmates for a celebratory farewell. In a statement, his family said: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005. 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech. The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020. The star was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most of us on our backs. Whether it was biting the head off both a bat and a dove, snorting a line of ants or urinating on a US war memorial while wearing one of his wife Sharon's dresses, Osbourne was defined by his antics both on and off stage. The singer, who sold more than 100 million records, will forever be synonymous with the heavy metal band he formed in his home city of Birmingham in 1969. With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbath's pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his 'subliminal satanic influence'. Osbourne's most infamous moment came when he bit the head off a bat that had been thrown on stage during a solo performance. He later claimed he thought it was made of rubber. Osbourne forged a hugely successful solo career after being thrown out of his band in 1979 due to his drug-fuelled antics, with hits that included Crazy Train and Hellraiser. But his hellraising off stage continued. In 1989 he attempted to kill Sharon while high on drugs, and seven years before that he urinated on the treasured Alamo Cenotaph in Texas, an act that saw him banned from San Antonio for a decade. He was also injured in a quad bike crash at his UK home in 2003, an episode that had a serious impact on his fragile health. Yet there was also redemption for the troubled singer, who relaunched himself as a reality tv star in The Osbournes in the early 2000s, after getting clean from drink and drugs with the help of Sharon. It saw two of his and Sharon's children, Kelly and Jack, become stars in their own right, whilst their other daughter Aimee declined to appear. There was a return too to Black Sabbath in 1997, when the original line-up got back together. Five years later, he and Iommi were an unlikely part of the star-studded lineup at the Queen's Golden Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, where they performed Paranoid. Osbourne's final performance with Black Sabbath came in 2025, when he reunited with his bandmates for a final gig at Aston Villa's Villa Park stadium in Birmingham. Having then suffered from Parkinson's disease for more than five years, he was seated for much of the farewell performance. Born John Michael Osbourne on December 3, 1948, the singer was raised by his parents Lilian and John with three older sisters and two younger brothers in a small two-bedroom home in Birmingham. The family of eight grew up poor and Ozzy said it was difficult because his parents were always fighting about money. Their strained marriage meant Ozzy did not speak to his parents after he was repeatedly sexually abused, aged 11, by two bullies. He said in a later interview: 'I was afraid to tell my father or mother and it completely f***ed me up. Dirty little secrets fester and that is one of the first things I said to my kids.' Aged 14, Osbourne tried to hang himself and was only saved by his father. He was a persistent truant from school and suffered from both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia, whilst his violent streak made an early appearance when he once attacked a teacher with an iron bar. The only subject that caught his attention at school was music and he performed in several productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. Osbourne left education at 15 and found work as a laborer and abattoir worker. Osbourne then turned to petty crime. After stealing a television and baby clothes just before his 18th birthday, he was arrested and spent six weeks behind bars because his father refused to pay his £40 fine. It was while in prison that Osbourne gave himself his first tattoo: 'OZZY' in capital letters on the knuckles of his left hand. He formed his first band, Rare Breed, at 19, with bassist Geezer Butler. When the pair fell out with their bandmates, they joined Iommi and Ward to set up Black Sabbath in 1968, which was first named Earth. They renamed the band in 1969 in tribute to their favorite horror film. The move set Osbourne, Iommi and Ward on the path to heavy metal royalty. The group quickly established a reputation for dabbling with satanic and occult themes. One early critic wrote: 'His baroque prophesies of doom were uttered against a background of a uniquely heavy guitar sound.'

Transgender actress Laverne Cox under fire from her woke fans after revealing 'MAGA cop' boyfriend
Transgender actress Laverne Cox is under fire from her own fans after admitting that she secretly dated a Trump-supporting police officer for four years. The star, 53, who is known for her extremely progressive politics, enraged her woke fanbase after dropping the bombshell about her love life in a video to promote her upcoming one-woman show. She also admitted that her cop lover was 22 years younger than her. 'He was 26, I was 48,' she explained. 'He is a blonde hair, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer.' While they're no longer dating, Cox admitted that they were 'madly in love' during their time together. She also gushed about how 'hot' he was, but insisted that she never adopted any of his conservative political views. The post was met with extreme backlash from fans of the Orange Is the New Black star, with many expressing complete shock and disbelief that she could date a Republican while publicly preaching her progressive politics. 'You should've taken this to the grave babe,' wrote, while another commented, 'So you recorded this, edited, and STILL pressed upload? A third commented, 'It's the smiling with pride, that's bothering me. As if it were a badge of honor.' Another said, 'Sooooo the morals are dismissed when he's hot. Got it.' After feeling the fury from her fanbase, Cox attempted to fix the situation by releasing a 53-minute video diving into her own politics as well as the reality of the relationship. She also said that some of her fans were 'dehumanizing people with different political beliefs', which she said was 'not consistent with my values'. On top of that, the star insisted that she wasn't MAGA and had 'never' voted for Trump. 'What was beautiful about the relationship I had with my ex is that for three and a half of the four years we dated it was amazing and we would agree to disagree, and managed to still have fun, managed to still see each other's humanity and love each other across these differences,' she said. Despite her clarification, Cox still received backlash from her progressive followers. 'Respectfully, why are you navigating a relationship with a blonde, blue-eyed, MAGA, Republican?' asked one. A second commented, 'He voted against YOU! He voted against who you are and what you stand for, your basic rights! He voted against who you advocate for, your trans community. You may have 'loved' him, but he most certainly did NOT love you.' 'Respectfully.....I think you need to love yourself more. Because you SIGNIFICANTLY lowered yourself to be with a man who did not deserve you,' wrote a third. Last November, Cox publicly stated that she and her transgender friends were considering moving out of the country due to Donald Trump's presidency. 'We're doing research on different cities in Europe and in the Caribbean,' she told Variety. Cox went as far as comparing the Trump administration's anti-LGBTQ rhetoric to the German Reich of the early 1900s. 'There was this a thriving community of queer people in Berlin pre the rise of Nazism. They attacked Jewish folks. They attacked immigrants, they attacked queer and trans people,' she said. 'I don't want to be in too much fear, but I'm scared. As a public figure, with all my privilege, I'm scared, and I'm particularly scared because I'm a public figure,' she continued. 'I feel like I could be targeted. I think they spent close to $100 million on anti-trans ads. It's deeply concerning.'

Emma Raducanu earns straight-sets win over Marta Kostyuk in Washington
Emma Raducanu began her build-up towards next month's US Open with an impressive straight-sets win over seventh seed Marta Kostyuk at the Mubadala DC Citi Open in Washington. Playing her first singles match since stretching world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the third round of Wimbledon, Raducanu held off the Ukrainian world number 27 to pull through a gruelling encounter 7-6 (4) 6-4. Both players struggled on serve in a 71-minute opening set, trading early breaks before inevitably edging into a tie-break which Raducanu won despite initially sacrificing a 4-0 lead. The British number three, who made a rare doubles appearance alongside Elena Rybakina earlier this week, looked the fresher of the pair in tough conditions and cemented her superiority by breaking en route to establishing a 3-0 lead in the second set. Kostyuk, who arrived in Washington having lost five singles matches in a row stretching back to May, rallied just when all seemed lost, breaking Raducanu back as she clawed back to parity at 4-4. Having forced Kostyuk to serve to stay in the match, the Ukrainian handed Raducanu two match points with a double fault, and the Briton seized her second chance to book her place in the second round. 'Extremely good win,' Raducanu said in her on-court interview. 'Playing Marta first round is extremely difficult and we've always had some tough matches. 'I'm happy with the way I fought through the first set and in the second, stayed tough when I needed to.' Cameron Norrie completed a notable win over second seed and world number seven Lorenzo Musetti to book his place in the last 16. Norrie, the world number 41, hit back from losing the opening set to triumph 3-6 6-2 6-3 and score his first win over a top 10-ranked player since reaching the quarter-finals at Indian Wells in 2023.
