Conor McGregor wife Dee Devlin became part of a Vatican City ceremony last December, when the UFC fighter married her at the Church of Santo Stefano degli Abissini. The wedding gave public form to a relationship that began in 2008, but 2025 reports about McGregor and a Florida beach encounter pushed the private timeline back into view.
12:12pm in Vatican City
12:12pm was the exact time McGregor said the ceremony took place, after a letter from the Vatican arrived a week prior and moved the wedding earlier. He wrote that he had awoken from treatment he underwent in Mexico with the need to wed Dee in the Vatican, then set about it “with great urgency.”
Four children tie McGregor and Devlin together beyond the ceremony itself. He wrote that “Serving God is my number one priority. Then my wife. Then my children. Then my parents,” putting his order of priorities on the record in the same message that marked the marriage.
2008 to August 2020
2008 is where the public record on the relationship starts, when McGregor and Devlin met as teenagers in a nightclub and became a couple. August 2020 added the formal next step: they became engaged while celebrating his birthday, more than 15 years after they first got together.
January 2020 matters too, because McGregor beat Donald Cerrone via TKO before the long layoff that followed. That sequence places the marriage inside a broader stretch in which his private life and fighting schedule kept crossing in public.
Florida in 2025
2025 brought the complication. Reports said McGregor was seen kissing an unidentified woman at a Florida beach, and further reports said he placed a towel down for her before putting his arm around her. The same woman was later said to have appeared on a dinner date with him on his birthday.
Last December’s wedding now sits beside those Florida reports as the clearest split in the story: a public marriage to Devlin, followed by behavior that raised fresh questions around McGregor’s relationship. For readers tracking the UFC comeback against Max Holloway in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena, the relationship coverage is no side note; it is now part of the frame around McGregor himself.
