Is Conor McGregor married?
Although they shared mutual friends, Conor and Dee officially met in 2008 at a club in Dublin. From there, they embarked on a 15-year and counting romance that includes their three kids — Conor Jr., Croia, and Rian. However, the couple has never been married despite their being together for over a decade.
For many years, Dee and Conor seemingly weren’t in a rush to get married. But in August 2020, Conor decided to take the plunge and asked Dee to marry him on her 33rd birthday. The couple announced their happy news on Instagram in a photo of Dee flashing her stunning diamond engagement ring.
“What a birthday, my future wife!” Conor captioned the post.
Since announcing their engagement, Conor and Dee haven’t made any official plans to walk down the aisle. While they don’t have a date yet, Conor said he wants the couple’s big day to be one their guests won’t forget.
“My wedding is going to be extravagant, that’s for damn sure,” Conor declared to ExtraTV in 2021. “We are going to have the best of the best and then more of the best. We have got to find the location; it’s going to be Ireland, I’m going to get married in the Emerald Isle, and then figure it out, so it’s a big process. Let’s see what happens. I’m ready for it all.”
Conor announced in 2023 that Dee was pregnant with their fourth child.
Despite Conor and Dee not having the wedding of their dreams yet, Dee has called Conor her “forever love” and has seemingly already vowed to spend the rest of her life by his side. Also, the couple is dedicated to expanding their family.
“I have three children; I’ve got two boys and a girl,” Conor said on the show. “My oldest one, Conor Jr., is 6, my daughter Croia Mairead, 4, and my youngest son Rian has just turned 2. So, things are going well.”

Dee has remained silent about Conor’s sexual assault allegations.
Shortly after Conor shared that he and Dee are expecting another child, the athlete was involved in a sexual assault claim. Per TMZ, a woman accused the fighter of “violently” sexually assaulting her by “aggressively kissing” her at the NBA Finals in Miami.
The woman also stated in demand letters obtained by the outlet that Conor forced her to engage in sexual acts in the men’s bathroom at the venue. After escaping the bathroom, the woman went to the authorities.
Since then, the allegations have spread across the NBA and UFC, who have released separate statements. TMZ reports Conor denies any wrongdoing, and his reps released a statement claiming the allegations against him are “false.”
As for Conor’s fiancée, Dee hasn’t said anything about the situation. However, many of her 2 million followers supported her in her Instagram comments.
