Conor McGregor’s long-time partner and mother of his four children, Dee Devlin, is the epitome of the phrase “Behind every great man, is a great woman”. Devlin was there with ‘The Notorious’ when he was just a snot-nosed plumber in Dublin trying to have an MMA career. Now, he’s one of the most recognizable athletes in all of sports – with his beautiful fiancee still by his side.

To celebrate Dee Devlin’s birthday and to thank her for her sacrifices through the years, McGregor celebrated with her and their children in the grandest of ways.

‘The Notorious’ posted a series of photos on Instagram:

Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin’s love story stood the test of time

If ever you want to see what a great, enduring relationship looks like, look no further than the love story of Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin. The two met at a party in 2008 when McGregor was a rookie fighter with big dreams.

Their relationship pushed through some tough times when they both lived in a tiny apartment in Dublin where Devlin had to work extra to allow McGregor to train and focus on fighting. Now, they have more money and riches to last them 10 lifetimes.

Devlin had the most powerful words when asked what if she ever gets worried when her partner fights:

“He’s [McGregor] never gonna lose, you know? [Not] in my eyes anyway.”
