Honestly, if you’ve followed the "Notorious" one for more than five minutes, you know he doesn't do anything quietly. But the wedding? That was different. After nearly 18 years together, Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor finally made it official in a way that felt more like a movie script than a standard celebrity ceremony.
They got married on December 12, 2025.
Not just any day, though. It was 12/12. At exactly 12:12 pm.
It happened at the Church of Santo Stefano degli Abissini in Vatican City. If you’re wondering why a guy who usually spends his time trash-talking in Las Vegas ended up at the oldest church in the Vatican, you aren't alone. It turns out, a lot went on behind the scenes that most people totally missed.
The "Divine" Reason Behind the Timing
Most people figured they were just waiting for the right "big" moment to cash in on a wedding special. Actually, it sounds like it was a lot more personal—and a bit weirder. Conor recently shared that the "intense need" to marry Dee hit him after he underwent a hallucinogenic trauma treatment in Tijuana, Mexico, earlier in 2025.
He woke up and basically decided it had to happen right then.
He’s been pretty vocal about the numerology of it all. The wedding was 151 days after his birthday. He’s been posting everywhere that "Jesus Christ" and "Conor McGregor" both add up to 151 in gematria. Whether you buy into the spiritual signs or not, he’s convinced it was "divine orchestration."
Interestingly, the 12:12 pm timing wasn't even his idea. The Vatican actually sent them a letter a week before the big day asking to move the ceremony earlier. When they checked the clock, it landed right on that double-twelve mark.
Dee, for her part, looked incredible in a white lace gown. They didn't do the massive, 500-person rager people expected. Instead, they kept it relatively tight-knit, drove through the streets of Rome in a 1930s Rolls-Royce Phantom III, and had their first dance to Mariah Carey’s "Dreamlover."
Classic.
From the Attic to the Empire
It’s easy to look at Dee Devlin now—dripping in Cartier and Chanel—and forget where this started. We're talking about a girl who dropped out of high school at 15. She was waitressing and doing some modeling in Dublin when she met Conor at a nightclub in 2008.
At the time, he had just quit his plumbing apprenticeship.
They weren't exactly living the high life. In those early years, they were literally living in his parents' attic in Crumlin because they couldn't make rent.
Conor has said a dozen times that he wouldn't be where he is without her. She wasn't just a girlfriend; she was the team. She drove him to the gym, she managed his weight cuts, and she took over his finances so he could focus on not getting his head kicked in.
- Net Worth: Estimates put their combined wealth north of $220 million.
- Business Role: Dee isn't just a "WAG." She’s a major part of the management team for his brands, including Proper No. Twelve and his various promotional outlets.
- Family: They now have four kids: Conor Jr., Croía, Rían, and the youngest, Mack, who was born in late 2023.
Why This Relationship Actually Lasted
Let’s be real. Celebrity marriages usually have the shelf life of a carton of milk. Especially when one person becomes a global megastar with a trail of legal drama and "outlandish" outbursts.

But Dee has stayed.
She stood by him through the 2024 drug suspension (the 18-month ban that finally ends in March 2026) and the various civil court cases. She even addressed some of the more private issues publicly last year, saying they’d dealt with things years ago and came out stronger.
It’s a rare dynamic in the UFC world. Most fighters’ personal lives crumble under the pressure of that kind of fame. For them, it seems the "team" mentality they had in that attic in Dublin never really went away.
What’s Next for the McGregors?
Now that the "will they, won't they" of the marriage is settled, the focus is shifting back to the Octagon.
Conor is eyeing a return in June 2026. He’s been training like a madman, and with the wedding high still fresh, the narrative is all about his "spiritual rebirth." Whether that translates to a win remains to be seen, but Dee will almost certainly be cageside.

If you're looking to follow their journey or learn from their "power couple" setup, keep an eye on a few things:
- Business Moves: Watch how Dee handles the expansion of the McGregor brand into the Middle East market in early 2026.
- The Comeback: Conor’s drug testing results will be public starting in late March; this will be the first real sign if he’s actually ready for a June fight.
- Social Media: They’ve both become more selective about what they post lately, focusing more on family and faith than the old "money-flash" posts.
The story of Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor is basically the ultimate "started from the bottom" tale, just with a lot more Vatican-approved numerology than most people expected.
Actionable Insight: If you’re looking to build a brand or a career as a "power couple," the McGregor-Devlin model shows that early-stage financial management and clear division of labor (one person as the "talent," one as the "operations") is more sustainable than just being a public accessory.
