Conor McGregor Marries Dee Devlin in Private Vatican City Ceremony

The event unfolded against a recent Supreme Court decision that left a civil sexual-assault verdict against McGregor in place.

Overview

  • The couple exchanged vows on December 12 at the Church of St Stephen of the Abyssinians (Chiesa di Santo Stefano degli Abissini) inside Vatican City.
  • Access was tightly controlled by security, with reports describing thousands of white roses, an archway entrance, a string quartet, and a 10-member choir.
  • Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni had said he was unaware of arrangements, while insiders said the church was reserved and senior figures raised private concerns about hosting the fighter.
  • A Dublin High Court jury found McGregor civilly liable for a 2018 assault on Nikita Hand, awarding nearly €250,000 in damages and about €1.3 million in legal costs, and Ireland’s Supreme Court dismissed his appeal this month.
  • McGregor, 37, and Devlin, 38, have been together since 2008, got engaged in 2020, share four children, and Devlin publicly affirmed her support, writing, “I love him I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM!”
