Why Conor McGregor's wife Dee Devlin gave up WAG-style career as pals reveal she'll never turn back on scandal-hit star
IT'S a Tuesday afternoon, your fiancé is all over Katie Price in a club. He'll go out later and knock someone out on the dance floor - all while you are at home with the kids. This might sound like most people's idea of a relationship from hell, but this is the reality for Dee Devlin, the woman who stands by Conor McGregor - who insiders insist won't ever leave matter how tough things get. 14 Mum-of-four Dee, 37, an aspiring businesswoman, has made the ultimate sacrifice - waving goodbye to a sparkling Coleen Rooney-style career - to be the wife and mother of Conor's dreams. Known for standing by her man through thick and thin, Dee has been dubbed the 'brains behind his brand'. An insider told The Sun: '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.' They added: "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." In the early days, she was tipped to be the next Coleen - able to command generous sponsorship and high-profile endorsements as the most high-profile WAG of the global mixed martial arts fighting world. But a string of scandals involving Conor, who uses the stage name The Notorious - has scuppered her wholesome and highly lucrative girl-next-door image. A source explained: 'Dee was set to become a huge personality in her own right – with earning clout to rival the likes of famous WAGs Victoria Beckham or Coleen Rooney. 'Dee is popular with the public – you only have to look at her social media following to see that. Shocking moment UFC thug Conor McGregor pummels club reveller with TWO brutal punches in packed Ibiza nightclub 'She has a wholesome girl-next-door image enhanced as a mum of four and there's huge interest in the fashion brands she is wearing and her lifestyle - but her chances of a clean- cut image that attracts the big money brands have been sullied completely by Conor's antics. 'Everyone loves a rag to riches story and Dee and Conor's had huge appeal - until it got sinister. Big brands want to distance themselves from any kind of scandal – especially those involving violence and sexual assault.' While Conor has been hitting headlines for all the wrong reasons, Dee has been behind the scenes helping turn him into a global star. Helping coordinate his finances, sponsorship deals, and travel arrangements, Dee has been instrumental in helping Conor navigate money spinning ventures outside the ring. His fights broke pay-for-view records outside MMA when 5.3m fans paid to watch him fight 10 rounds with Floyd Mayweather in 2017. He also launched a brand of whiskey – Proper No.12 - rumoured to have sold for hundreds of millions, which again Dee played a part in. 14 Big dreams shattered Dee quit school when she was 16, but she was always ambitious. She attempted a number of business ventures including a line of luxury handbags and watches - but Conor was keen to get her on the books and she became his 'manager' as soon as his fighting career started taking off. Just like Wayne and Coleen - Dee and Conor were young sweethearts. A former model and waitress, Dee grew up in a town nearby to Conor and the pair had mutual pals before a chance meeting in a Dublin nightclub where she was working in 2008. She was just 21. At the time, Conor had just quit his plumbing apprenticeship and was at the cusp of his MMA fighting dream. 14 14 Neither had any idea what was in store for them - neither the glory nor the court appearances. These days, there is no doubt Dee lives a life to envy. Her wardrobe features Prada, Dior, and Luis Vuitton dresses, while on a visit to a Chanel boutique, £11,000 was spent on two designer handbags. The McGregor family live in a £2.5million home in Kildare, a 40-minute drive from Dublin. They take holidays in Marbella, where they have a £1.3million villa in the exclusive gated The Heights set on the La Resina country club estate. Marriage plans in doubt They got engaged five years ago when Conor popped the question on her 33rd birthday. Questions have been raised as to whether the pair will in fact ever marry. The fighter has spoken about vague marriage plans - insisting it'll happen in Ireland but admitting there is a lot to 'figure out,' and that it is 'a big process,' he added: 'Let's see what happens.' 14 14 They have however, got their very own family, wedding or not. They share four children - Conor, eight, a daughter, Croia, six, and sons Rian, four, and Mack, 19 months. In recent weeks, Dee has been in Spain with Conor, but she has been nowhere to be seen over the last couple of days – with sources saying she was clearly looking after the kids while he was out lapping up the lavish offerings Ibiza has to offer. 'Brands have distanced themselves' Topless in a red hat and puffing on a giant cigar, Conor captioned an Instagram shot of him cosying up to Katie Price as '@katieprice Forever' Footage later emerged from the night before showing him flooring a club reveller with TWO brutal punches in a packed Ibiza nightclub, Pacha. Days later, the UFC star appeared to sport a bruised eye as he soaked up the sun with Dee aboard a luxury yacht. Dee could be seen packing on the PDA with Conor after his midweek fracas. She later appeared alongside him in a series of social media snaps, showing nothing could break them. It's the latest in a string of controversies that have marred Conor - pounding his public image, career and reputation – and Dee's too. Last November, Conor was ordered to pay out £206,000 in damages to hairdresser Nikita Hand - after a jury found in a civil case that he had brutally sexually assaulted her - brands began to distance themselves. Following the case, Dee broke her silence, showing her devotion to her man, in a post she said: '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!' 14 14 14 'He turned violent quickly' Another woman, Samantha Murphy, claimed she had to jump off the side of a luxury yacht to escape after an alleged attack by Conor in 2022, breaking her arm in the fall. She alleges she was assaulted during celebrations in Ibiza for the fighter's 34th birthday, claiming he turned violent quickly becoming 'possessed.' She launched a civil case but discontinued it in January 2023. At the time, a statement from McGregor said he was "steadfast in his denial of all the accusations made by a guest on his boat". He is also preparing to go back to court to appeal against the conviction in the Nikita Hand case which has already cost him more than 1.5m Euros. But Dee has always stood by him, and Conor has always credited her as a key to his success, supporting him even as an unemployed aspiring fighter. He said: 'I love to spoil her. She does not work anymore, I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques. 'Dee worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had absolutely nothing. 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. We've been together a long time. She's been through it all with me.' He added: 'Every day, since I started out in this game, she's supported me. She'd drive me to the gym, and she'd listen to all my dreams. 'Dee is a lifesaver for me. I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for her. I'm doing all of this for her.' Just a few months ago Dee took to Instagram to defend her relationship yet again saying: 'My man and I have created a beautiful life together. No one is entitled to comment on our relationship- we trust one another and love one another.' Inside McGregor's Notorious lifestyle With more sides to his personality than an Octagon, Conor McGregor's rise has been an enthralling watch. Going from UFC icon to entrepreneur and Hollywood star, the Irishman has transcended the sport he helped bring to the masses. He has four children with fiancee Dee Devlin and the family enjoy a lavish lifestyle. McGregor has not fought in UFC since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021. That has not stopped him amassing a net worth of over £150m thanks to his Proper No Twelve whiskey and fashion line. And he is due to return to the Octagon at UFC 303 in an eagerly-awaited headline clash with Michael Chandler. McGregor also starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the Amazon Prime remake of classic movie Road House, although he is dreading his mum seeing one X-rated scene. Notorious turned up to the premiere in a £60,000 suit that was outdone by his £460k watch. The only thing sharper than his fashion sense is his tongue and the Dubliner has several bitter spats under his belt, including with UFC legend KhabibNurmagomedov. That row led to one of his biggest controversies in 2018 as he travelled 3,000 miles to confront Khabib in a vicious attack on his bus. He pleaded guilty to assault after punching a man in a pub in 2018 and had his £150k Bentley seized by police for driving offences four years later. Joe Rogan lashed out at McGregor in a four-letter outburst and the Irishman has also fired shots at Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury. Boxing great Floyd Mayweather also has McGregor on his enemy list after the pair clashed in a cross-sport bout in 2017.

Conor McGregor enjoys quality family time with partner Dee Devlin and their children in Mallorca after partying with Katie Price and horror nightclub attack in Ibiza
Conor McGregor enjoyed some quality family time with partner Dee Devlin and their children in Mallorca following his recent wild antics in Ibiza. Just days ago, the UFC fighter, 36, posed up a storm with ex glamour model Katie Price at O Beach before going on to floor a party goer at the infamous Pacha nightclub on Tuesday morning. And days after his headline-grabbing week on the party island, Conor showed he was very much a family man too as he indulged in some watersports with his loved ones. In new snaps, the Irishman couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he rode on the back of a giant green inflatable with long-term partner Dee and two of their children. Conor could be seen wrapping an arm around Dee as the family were whizzed along the water by a speedboat amid the fun family outing. Following their fun at sea, the family were seen relaxing on the deck of a swanky superyacht as they soaked up the sun together. Conor and Dee got engaged in August 2020, with the MMA star proposing while he celebrated his 32rd birthday in the south of France. They have been together since 2008. The couple share four children, all under 10 years old, with their oldest, Conor Jr, being born on May 6, 2017. Just days ago, Conor and Dee were seen putting on a loved up display as he was seen for the first time since the Ibiza nightclub attack. The disgraced fighter was seen hitting the reveller on the Spanish party island as he boozed until the early hours. Conor was seen in conversation with a man before putting his arm around his shoulders and lashing out on the dance floor at 5:53am as music continued to loudly blare. He could be seen speaking to the man for a few seconds before hitting him with his left hand while holding a glass of alcohol in his right. McGregor, a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, then landed another blow just seconds later to leave the reveller on the floor. The Irishman, who was wearing tight white pants and a black and white shirt, has not fought since 2021 and was protected from his victim by his entourage after flooring him. The violent scrap came just hours after he was seen partying with Katie Price at Wayne Lineker's famous O Beach club.

Meanwhile, Katie continued to spark concern with her extreme weight loss as she slipped into a barely-there bikini for the snap. Katie shared a picture of the pair on her Instagram page with the caption: 'You legend,' after Conor tagged her in his own story and said: 'Forever'. Tottenham defender Kevin Danso also posted a picture with the former fighter on his Instagram.

Conor McGregor's Disturbing Act Caught On Club Video
Conor McGregor's Disturbing Act Caught On Club Video originally appeared on The Spun. Former UFC megastar Conor McGregor could be facing some new legal troubles in the near future after an incident that took place in Ibiza. Advertisement In a video obtained by The Sun, McGregor was having a night out with some friends at Pacha at around 6 a.m. local time on Tuesday. He then leans in to talk to someone before knocking them to the floor with two punches from his left hand. The footage cut out before we could see how the patron was affected. But whatever happened, it doesn't seem to have been much of an issue for McGregor. He was allowed to stay at the venue while the patron that he punched wound up getting kicked out. If McGregor didn't have any authorities called on him then, it's hard to imagine that he'll have to head to a courthouse to get it resolved. Advertisement Video of the alleged incident has gone viral. Even so, to see McGregor seemingly lay a man out that he wasn't squared up with is a little disturbing. It's also a bit hard to assume McGregor wasn't the aggressor given some of his previous violent antics around the world. From bar fights to assault charges to serious criminal allegations, McGregor has practically had to buy his lawyer a plane ticket next to him wherever he's gone. Dublin , Ireland - 22 November 2024; Mr Conor McGregor leaves court, accompanied by his partner Dee Devlin, after the court announced the jury's decision in the civil action case, P Ní Laimhin v McGregor & Anor, in High Court 24 at Chancery Place in Dublin. (Photo By David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile via Getty Images)MMA fans certainly weren't surprised to see McGregor take a swing at a random club patron: "Weird how many altercations he gets into… Looks like he fell off and now takes it out on random people," one user wrote on X. Advertisement "Another sucker punch from McGregor. At least this guy wasn't a pensioner," wrote another. "The guy has his head down drinking water. The other is supposed to be a pro fighter but throws a couple of dirty digs when the lad is not even making eye contact." "This isn't a shock to many people. We know what type of person he is. Anyone who thinks he is a suitable to be President of Ireland doesn't respect Ireland enough." "Bully and a thug. Would love to see him bump into Khabib and get disciplined again." It may not send him to jail or even the inside of a courtroom, but this incident is yet another hit to McGregor's reputation.
