Through all the ups and downs, one thing has never wavered in Conor McGregor‘s life—the steadfast support of his family. Despite facing a civil lawsuit and with no UFC return currently on the horizon, ‘The Notorious’ continues to draw strength from his fiancée Dee Devlin and their four children. In the face of public scrutiny and lost sponsorships, Dee has remained a constant in his corner—a loyal partner who’s weathered every storm by his side. 

While McGregor’s legal battles have often dominated the headlines, his achievements outside the Octagon have been just as newsworthy. From his storied UFC legacy to becoming a part-owner of BKFC and building successful businesses like Forged Irish Stout and Greenback Records, the Irish superstar has kept his empire growing. Through it all, McGregor never fails to acknowledge the driving force behind it—his family, whom he credits as the foundation of his journey. He often shares sweet moments with his children on social media, giving fans a look into his personal life.

However, this time it’s his partner, Dee Devlin, who has shared a post for her son’s birthday. Devlin took to her Instagram account to share a family picture. The caption on the post read as, “My boys birthdays 🥰🥳”.  In the photo, the former two-division champion flashes a proud smile as he shares a heartwarming moment with his son, Rían McGregor, who was born on May 17, 2021. McGregor’s other son,  Conor Jack McGregor Jr, was born on 6th May, 2017, Croia McGregor was born on the 2nd of January, 2019. His other son, Rían McGregor, who was born on May 17, 2021, was also in the picture. 

Devlin took time to celebrate the party of both the boys and can be seen enjoying a full family event, which also included some soccer games. The mother of McGregor’s children has been his rock through it all, especially during the turbulent period surrounding the Nikita Hand lawsuit. McGregor has frequently praised her unwavering support, a constant presence in his life since long before the fame, fortune, and UFC stardom. But the big question is, when will ‘Mystic Mac’ make a comeback to the Octagon? Or will he ever make a return at all? Let us take a look at what he had to say about it. 

Conor McGregor feels he might just never make a return to fighting again

At 36, Conor McGregor remains on an extended hiatus, having not stepped into the Octagon since his brutal leg injury against Dustin Poirier in 2021. Though he still has two fights left on his UFC contract, the Irish superstar has yet to make his return. Over the years, he’s kept fans guessing with a flurry of teases, hinting at UFC comebacks, a return to the boxing ring, and even dabbling in the idea of bare-knuckle fighting. But so far, none of those promises have come to life, leaving his future in combat sports uncertain. At the BKFC event in Hollywood, Miami, Conor McGregor stepped into the spotlight—not as a fighter, but as a promoter.

Taking the mic, he energized the crowd with his signature charisma, delivering a message straight to the fans. He said, “I’ve got two fights on the [UFC] contract, I’m in negotiations.” However, ‘The Notorious’ also dropped a hint that his future might take a different path, suggesting that his attention could soon turn toward Irish politics, signaling a potential shift in his career beyond the world of combat sports. The former dual-champion further added, “Last week, something happened to me. I went to the White House, and my country is… my heart bleeds for my country right now. There’s a lot of stuff going on back home. There’s something else for me that’s in my gut right now, and that’s kind of where I’m going.”
