Conor McGregor's Fiancee Reacts to Controversial Kiss with Another Woman

It has been a full four years since Conor McGregor last stepped into the ring, but he remains a headline favourite despite not having fought recently. According to news reports, photos of 'The Notorious' being affectionate with an unidentified woman on a beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida have gone viral, prompting wild speculation from the public.

The photos show McGregor and the woman kissing and hugging, and the Irishman laying out a towel for the mystery woman.

Why the attention? Probably not only because McGregor is engaged to Dee Devlin, or that they have four children together, or that they are considered one of Ireland's top couples, but also because the 'King of Dublin' had always credited Devlin as the woman behind his success, and the one who had stayed by his side as he journey to becoming a UFC champion.

Dee Devlin Unfazed

However, amid the uproar, Devlin has seemingly remained calm, opting to post several pictures of herself and McGregor and wished him a happy birthday. She captioned her post 'Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile', with a heart emoji.

Once again, Devlin has chosen to stay by her man's side amid this new controversy. This is not the first time though, as she has been supporting the 'Mystic Mac' since they met in 2008, back when McGregor had dreamt of being a champion MMA fighter.

Last year, Devlin was seen beside McGregor as they left the High Court in Dublin that ruled against him in a case brought by Nikita Hand, who had accused him of rape and assault in 2018.

Back then, McGregor had taken to social media and posted, 'I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That's all on me'. To which Devlin replied, 'I love him, I trust him, and I BELIEVE HIM'.

McGregor-Devlin Relationship Timeline

McGregor and Devlin met when they were both 19 in 2008 in a nightclub. He had just quit his plumbing apprenticeship then and had become serious about becoming an MMA fighter.

Devlin said that she was instantly attracted to McGregor because he keeps her entertained and makes her laugh.

It has been said that behind every man's success is a woman and that was exactly what Devlin was to McGregor. She was there when he won his debut UFC fight in Sweden, 'Knockout of the Night' in 2013.

Devlin was impressed with McGregor's dedication to his dream, while the latter said, 'I'm doing this to secure my family's future and Dee's future. One day, I want myself and Dee to be able to chill on a beach and not have any worry in the world'.

All throughout his career, McGregor had referenced Devlin like when in 2015 he said 'My girlfriend has been there since the start. She has helped me throughout this career. If it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't be where I am today'.

Not only was Devlin by his side when he was named interim UFC featherweight champion after winning over Chad Mendes in 2015, or when he was crowned undisputed UFC featherweight champion for his 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo, but she remained by his side when McGregor suffered his first defeat against Nate Diaz.

The couple officially became engaged in 2020, but have yet to get married. They now share four children — Conor Jr., Croia, Rian, and Mack.
