Conor McGregor is preparing to marry his long-time partner Dee Devlin at the Vatican today. The Irish MMA fighter, aged 37, and Dee, aged 38, who share four children together, will exchange vows at the Chiesa di Santo Stefano Degli Abissini near the Basilica of St Peter in the Vatican Gardens.
Insiders at the Vatican have confirmed that the Church of St Stephen of the Abyssinians has been reserved for the private wedding, as reported by the Irish Independent. Vatican weddings are rare and require special arrangements due to their unique nature.
Recent concerns have been raised by senior Vatican officials regarding McGregor’s use of the church for his wedding, citing a previous civil trial in Dublin where he was found “civilly liable” for assault. Despite McGregor’s denial of the allegations and his subsequent legal battles, the Supreme Court recently upheld the ruling, denying his appeal.
Dee has shown unwavering support for McGregor throughout these legal challenges, standing by his side as they faced the media. In a statement released by her solicitors, Ms. Hand expressed gratitude for the support she received during the difficult times.
Dee, McGregor’s soon-to-be wife, has been a pillar of support for the MMA star for over 15 years, standing by him through thick and thin. McGregor publicly expressed his love and trust in Dee on social media, emphasizing the strength of their family unit.
After the legal proceedings, McGregor was spotted in the US with a mystery woman, sparking speculation about their relationship. The former UFC champion proposed to Dee in 2025, marking a significant milestone in their long-standing relationship.
Their journey began in 2008 when they met at a nightclub in Dublin, with Dee playing a crucial role in McGregor’s life before his MMA stardom. McGregor has always acknowledged Dee’s integral support in managing his affairs and finances, highlighting her importance in his success story.
