Last month, Conor McGregor took a monumental step in his life by marrying his long-time partner, Dee Devlin, at Vatican City’s oldest church, the Chapel of Santo Stefano degli Abissini, after almost 18 years together and four children. The road to the altar was not without challenges. Just a week before the ceremony, Vatican City changed the wedding plans. Yet McGregor did not view it as a setback, but as a sign from God. In recent years, McGregor has faced numerous hurdles, from legal issues to other controversies.

Through it all, Dee Devlin stood by him, supporting him through thick and thin and helping him grow as a person. But after a trip to Tijuana, Mexico, last year for treatment, Conor McGregor felt a “great urgency” to get married. On Monday, on the occasion of the one-month anniversary of his wedding, McGregor shared unseen photos from the ceremony for the first time, where he also wrote about the spiritual experience behind it along with some important details from the ceremony.

In the caption shared with multiple unseen images on Instagram, Conor McGregor wrote, “I married the love of my life, Dee, on the 12th of the 12th at exactly 12:12 pm… The date was precisely 151 days after my birthday. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ – His name adds up to 151 in gematria. As does my own.” Interestingly, the numbers hold powerful meaning, showing that his marriage happened exactly 151 days after his birthday, reflecting a numerological connection.

The Irishman also sees these signs as the unspoken words of God, calling it a “divine orchestration” as events unfolded step by step without his planning. In fact, Conor McGregor revealed that the wedding time was not set for 12:12 pm initially, but happened purely by fate. “A letter from the Vatican arrived just a week prior, requiring the ceremony to be moved earlier. It then took place officially at precisely 12:12 pm,” he revealed.

The Irishman had planned his marriage with Dee Devlin for years, but location issues and other obstacles sometimes got in the way. However, his recent trip to Mexico changed everything.

McGregor reflects on betrayal in his relationship

Alongside the highs of his career, Conor McGregor faced significant lows. After his ‘Red Panty Night’ bout against Floyd Mayweather, he never fully regained the same momentum. He lost his title and faced setbacks from party antics, which also put him under the spotlight for assault cases.

These challenges delayed his long-held dream of getting married, yet he and Dee Devlin stayed together through it all. At the time, ‘The Notorious’ wasn’t earning much, while Dee Devlin worked to support them both.

Following the Nikita Hand assault case verdict, Conor McGregor publicly apologized to Dee Devlin. “People want to hear from me, I needed time,” he wrote. “I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.”

Now officially married to Dee Devlin, McGregor is stepping into a new chapter of his life fueled by his faith in Jesus. He is reconnecting with his family day by day and focusing on what truly matters. Right now, he’s preparing for his UFC comeback, which Dana White and the promotion have just confirmed. Stay tuned for updates.
