The couple announced their engagement on August 8, 2020 – an early birthday surprise for the style icon at the time. Devlin, who turned 37 on August 9, has been the long-time girlfriend to “The Notorious” since 2008 and is mother to their four children.
But who is the mysterious future Mrs McGregor herself? Read on for everything we know so far about Dee Devlin.
What is Dee Devlin’s background?
Devlin hails from Walkinstown, a suburb in the south of Dublin, Ireland, with a population of just 6,819 as of 2016. She was not particularly academically inclined and dropped out of high school at 15, taking up odd jobs, waitressing and modelling throughout her late teens and early 20s.
She met McGregor in 2008 at a nightclub, not long after he had decided plumbing really wasn’t for him and decided to pursue MMA for a living. In the pre-UFC, cash-tight early days, the couple moved into McGregor’s parents’ attic when paying the rent was a challenge.
