Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor has earned a name for himself as one of the best in the industry.
Over the course of his ten-plus year career, McGregor has earned numerous honors and become one of the few MMA fighters to have achieved celebrity status in pop culture.
Although his career has not been without controversy, McGregor can count himself lucky in that his personal life has been stable and happy.
Keep reading to learn how Conor McGregor became famous, who he is dating, and whether or not he has any children.
How did Conor McGregor begin his career?
Conor McGregor was born in Ireland in 1988. He developed an early interest in sports and athletic activities and got involved with boxing at the age of twelve. Initially, McGregor pursued a career as a plumber but ultimately decided to start training as a mixed martial artist. In 2007, McGregor began his fighting career in earnest and turned professional.
He made his UFC debut in 2013, signing with a multi-fight contract. He gained a lot of recognition for his unique, aggressive fighting style and he quickly became one of the most popular fighters signed.
In 2017, McGregor began his professional boxing career, and although he didn’t get off to an auspicious start, and was defeated by boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his debut match, he bounced back quickly and became one of the biggest draws in the boxing world.
These days, even fans who might not normally follow boxing know and recognize Conor McGregor.
Although this year has been a notoriously difficult one for McGregor in terms of press, and he has dealt with both assault and arrest charges, his career prospects remain strong.
Who is Conor McGregor’s girlfriend?
Conor McGregor doesn’t live the life of a superstar playboy, in spite of his fame and fortune. In fact, he has been with his girlfriend, Dee Devlin, since around 2008. The two started dating long before McGregor achieved his massive success in the UFC and she has stuck by him through thick and thin.
Devlin is a businesswoman and also hails from Ireland. McGregor has admitted that being able to treat his longtime partner to “everything she’s ever wanted” fills him with pride, especially since the pair went through such difficult financial times in the beginning.
Although reports continue to swirl regarding their marital status, the two are still happily dating and have never been engaged or married.
Devlin has continued to support her boyfriend even during the tough pre-fight planning and has revealed that she tries to do even more around that time, including extra cooking, cleaning, and making sure that his gym bag is always prepared.
How many children does Conor McGregor have?
Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin have a little family of their own, although, for the most part, they keep their kids well away from the spotlight. In May 2017, McGregor and Devlin welcomed a son that they named Conor Jack McGregor Jr. Then, in early January, the pair announced that they had their second child, a daughter.
In the months since, McGregor and Devlin have shared a few adorable images of their children to social media, much to the delight of their thousands of fans. As to whether or not the couple will get married in the future or if they want to have more children, they have remained mostly mum.
However, these two have clearly proven that they are in it for the long haul and have every intention of remaining together forever.
