From working as a plumber in Dublin to becoming the biggest attraction of fight game today, the story of Conor McGregor is nothing but spectacular.

But there is an unsung hero behind the success story of The Notorious one, his fiance Dee Devlin. The former 2-division UFC champion would also agree that without Dee Devlin he would not be what he is today.

Where is she From? Childhood of Dee Devlin

The pride of Ireland, Conor McGregor was born in Crumlin, Dublin. And there he would find his love for the mixed martial art. Well, not so far away in the city of Walkinstown, Dee Devlin was born.

Just like Conor, she never saw her future in education as she dropped out of high school at the age of 15. Though her parents’ dreams for her daughter were shattered, little did they know that destiny had something big planned for her.

The struggle of Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor once said, “When things are going good, you visualize these good things happen. What’s not easy to do is when things are going bad and you are visualizing the good stuff.”

Dee was right there by his side, supporting him to the fullest before the Irishman made it big. When Conor first told his father that he wanted to pursue a career in MMA and leave plumbing, his father was not supportive at all. Conor left his home, and he ended up with Dee Devlin.

Dee Devlin did not let Conor lose his dreams and supported him financially as well. Devlin did the cleaning, worked as a waitress just so she could provide Conor with basic necessities when Conor was focusing on his MMA career.

Even with the financial hiccups, she made sure Conor ate well and stayed committed to his craft. Conor reciprocated everything when he became a global superstar, giving Dee everything she ever wanted. In an interview, Conor talked about the special bond between Dee and himself,

“My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially 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 for a long time. She’s been through it all with me.”

Even when Conor and Dee were battling adversities at a young age, they believed that good times were a comin!
