Dee Devlin's gilded cage: Conor McGregor's fiancée who works for him and 'collects the cheques' stood by him after rape case, now he's kissed another woman and 'sexted' Azealia Banks - so, what would it take for her to walk away?
While many likely would have left behind the Irish UFC fighter, 37, years ago, his fiancée has stood by him amid a myriad of scandals - making her support clear through social media posts.
The pair have been together for 15 years and are not married - but did get engaged in August 2020 after McGregor proposed while they were celebrating his 32nd birthday.
The family, with four children, enjoys a luxury lifestyle of constant getaways abroad, with Conor once known for having a £300,000 Rolls Royce and £2.6 million luxury yacht in his possessions.
Although his future reputation remains unclear, Conor's net worth was in 2023 estimated to be around a staggering £160 million - with top US sports analysts once so sure of his money-making prowess, they claimed he'd become a billionaire by the time he's 35.
However, despite the athlete once boasting that 'being able to take her out of work, give her everything she's ever wanted and to travel the world with her filled him with pride', Dee's unwavering loyalty has faced a lot of tests.
This weekend alone, Conor couldn't keep his hands off of a mystery brunette woman on a busy Florida beach over the weekend as they were pictured kissing - with the photos coming on the heels of rapper Azealia Banks accusing him of sexual harassment.
She posted two shocking photos - seemingly of McGregor - posing in the mirror while completely naked, which she alleges he sent to her via direct message on X despite not following him.
'How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,' she wrote alongside the screenshots. '@TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM.'
She continued: 'Like how are you really going to sexually harass me with the potato farmer d*** then threaten me not to tell???? Honey…… ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam? Use some f***ing sunscreen damn'.
As well as the alleged nude selfies, the screenshots also show a message from what appears to be McGregor's account reading: 'Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught'.
Alongside one image which seemingly shows his manhood strapped to a dumbbell, the Irish fighter apparently wrote: 'Lifting weights'.
Banks then shared another screenshot of the alleged pictures suddenly being 'hidden' on X because she does not follow McGregor's account. Although it is unclear if he had anything to do with that change, she commented: 'The motherf***er woke up early LOL.'
At the time, DailyMail.com had reached out to the last-known attorneys on record for Conor McGregor, his agent and Azealia Banks' agent for comment.
And while Dee now enjoys the spoils of living in a £2.5million home in Kildare, a 40-minute drive from Dublin with their children Conor Jr, eight, daughter, Croia, five, and sons Rian, three and Mack, who was born in 2023 - she had first met Conor when he didn't have a penny to his name.
They met as teenagers back in 2008 in a nightclub and Dee is a key part of the MMA star's story having supported him when he was unemployed and committing himself fully to making it as a professional fighter.
Elsewhere, Conor told MMA Fighting how he loves to 'spoil' Dee. Both pictured during the Cannes Film Festival in 2022
He previously told VIP magazine: 'I asked her to come over and we just started chatting. She seemed like a nice girl, and I like good girls.'
'He was already training when I met him, so I really admired his dedication to that,' she added.
Elsewhere, Conor told MMA Fighting how he loves to 'spoil' Dee.
'She does not work anymore, I hired her to the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques,' he explained.
'Dee worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing. I only had a dream that I was telling her... We've been together a long time. She's been through it all with me.'
Despite this - as the damning snaps emerged over this weekend - Dee has brushed off the photos as she posted a birthday tribute to her long-term partner on Monday.
'Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile,' she shared a post from a fan account on her Instagram story.
Proving all is well, she also reposted a series of pictures of herself and McGregor together from a fan account.
It's not the first time she has demonstrated utmost devotion to her fiancé. McGregor lost his 2024 civil case as jurors at the High Court in Dublin found him liable of raping Nikita Hand, 35, in a Dublin hotel on December 9, 2018, with the judge awarding Hand €250,000 in damages.
But despite the verdict, Dee has emphatically made clear that she intends to back McGregor - attacking Hand in a series of posts on Instagram at the time.
In the posts she wrote: 'Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago, as should be done in a relationship and we have come out stronger than ever.
'We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!'
The exact figure of McGregor's current net worth is unknown however in an interview with Megan Olivi in 2023 - via the Irish Mirror - the UFC fighter boasted: I'm closing in on a billion now.
'I think I'm at about $650m (£516m) all in I've made. I think they (Forbes) estimate that.
'I'd have to probably do my own little check of that. But I fancy my chances, I fancy my chances of getting up that list.'
His fortune from fighting has been enhanced by his businesses. McGregor sold his stake in Proper No. 12 Whiskey for an estimated £128m and interest in the Forged Irish Stout he launched is spreading like wildfire.
The family live in a house which was bought for around £2.5million - and previously belonged to the son of former taoiseach (prime minister) Albert Reynolds' son, Albert Jr.
It is known as The Paddocks, comprises of five bedrooms and six bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen and games room and stables near the landscaped garden looking out onto the river Liffey.
The couple were also understood to be interested in a couple of other properties in the same area. One of them was owned by Formula One legend Eddie Irvine and U2 lead singer Bono would have been their neighbour had they opted for that one.

Lottie Moss puts on a daring display in skimpy orange halterneck bikini with low-rise briefs as she parties with pals on sun-soaked girls trip
Lottie Moss put on a daring display in a skimpy orange halterneck bikini as she joined pals on a sun-soaked girls trip. The sister of Kate Moss, 27, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an insight into her trip to a mystery holiday destination. Lottie shared several clips of her friends drinking and partying as DJs played at a beach club. In a mirror snap from the villa they appeared to be staying in, Lottie could be seen posing in a bikini with one of her pals. The racy snap showed Lottie in an orange two-piece which featured very low-rise briefs. It comes after it was reported earlier this month that the former Only Fans creator is using her personal diaries to write a biography about her childhood and turbulent life in the spotlight. Lottie will not hold back as she reflects on her battles with alcohol and substance abuse issues, according to the Sun. It's understood that she has kept written and video diaries since she was a teenager and will be using them to reference her colourful past. An insider said: 'Lottie has always been known as Kate's little sister — but this is her chance to tell her side of the story. 'She has kept written and video diaries since she was a teenager, so will be compiling all her scribbles and memories into the book. 'Lottie is excited to tell the truth about her struggles with body image, addiction and relationships.' MailOnline contacted Lottie's representatives for a comment at the time. Lottie - the half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss - previously admitted she would try weight loss jabs again despite suffering a seizure as a direct result of taking Ozempic. She was rushed to hospital last year after 'illegally' obtaining the drug - originally manufactured to treat diabetes - and consequently suffering a reaction. Speaking to Olivia Attwood on her ITV series The Price Of Perfection, she said: 'I think I've always really struggled with my weight since I was younger and I think modelling didn't help, and always being around these gorgeous, tall models. 'You know I'm small as well, so I was like "I've got to be at least skinny".' Talking about her sister, she added: 'I think I always felt compared to her at the beginning of my career, and I think people expected me to be kind of like a carbon copy of her as well. 'You know, cos she was getting a little bit older, she wasn't doing so much so they thought 'oh perfect, now we can have a whole new Kate Moss. 'Like I felt a lot of pressure to be like her and look like her and you know, I dabbled in that party lifestyle. 'That was essentially how they stayed skinny back in the day cos they had this wild party lifestyle.' Lottie said the party lifestyle wasn't for her, so she turned her attention to weight loss jabs, which have grown in popularity. Ozempic is a diabetes medication but it is also being sold privately for weight loss, and celebrities including Sharon Osbourne, Amy Schumer, Boy George and Heather Gay have admitted to using the drug. Lottie previously revealed she always felt 'compared' to her supermodel sister Kate as she admitted she would try weight loss jabs again after suffering a seizure Lottie, who obtained the jabs 'illegally', explained: 'For me, I needed to keep the weight off and I needed a quick fix and I heard about Ozempic and I thought ' I might as well just give it a go'. 'The way I went around it was really bad, and I shouldn't have, because it was kind of... I kinda got it in an illegal way. 'I got it from a doctor who was giving it out under a table. 'And to give it to someone without doing any tests or anything, or asking them any questions about their health is so, you know, crazy to me.' Lottie revealed she had lost between six to seven kilos after just two weeks on the drug, which she described as 'dramatic', before having a seizure. She said she didn't notice the huge drop in her weight at the time 'because you're so sick and tired all the time'. 'I felt something really weird happen as soon as I got on the bed, I had the seizure and they were holding me down,' she recalled. 'I was terrified. I honestly felt like I was dying, and it sounds really dramatic, but I've never had a seizure before.'

Sesame Street responds to vile hacking of Elmo's X account
Sesame Workshop has again addressed the embarrassing hack it suffered on Monday when a hacker accessed the Elmo account and posted a series of shocking posts targeting Jewish people and trolling President Donald Trump. 'On Sunday, Elmo's X account was briefly hacked by an outside party, in spite of the security measures in place,' read a tweet from the Sesame Workshop. The statement continued, 'We strongly condemn the abhorrent antisemitic and racist content, and the account has since been secured. 'These posts in no way reflect the values of Sesame Workshop or Sesame Street, and no one at the organization was involved.' A spokesperson for Sesame Workshop previously confirmed the digital security breach to Daily Mail on Sunday evening. 'Elmo's X account was compromised today by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts,' the rep said. 'We are working to restore full control of the account.' Following the post from the Sesame Workshop, a number of followers on the platform peppered in responses that ranged from jokes to troubleshooting. 'I don't believe you were hacked,' said one user. 'I think the real Elmo came out.' Another user wryly chimed in, 'Big Bird's silence on this issue has been deafening.' One user went on a long rant at the character, saying, 'Elmo, I've been crying and throwing up ever since you posted those very hateful things. 'The truth of it is you were a role model to me growing up and because of that I would always tickle you whenever you asked. The statement ended, 'After what happened on Sunday I was forced to throw you in the dumpster out back my local Chili's and will no longer be having you in my life. Goodbye old friend.' Multiple users rejected Sesame Workshop's denial anyone from their side was involved. 'Sesame workshop has become beyond woke and I guarantee it was someone internal,' one user said. 'If I allowed some sort of breach like this at my job, I would be fired. @SesameWorkshop take accountability. The user said the late Sesame Street founder Jim Henson 'would be horrified' at the lack of accountability in the wake of the humiliating security breach. Following the post from the Sesame Workshop, a number of followers on the platform peppered in responses that ranged from jokes to troubleshooting Another added: 'Serious question. Is anyone ever hacked by an "inside party?" Your inability to apologize MUCH SOONER is weak. But most concerning is that no one believes you were hacked. 'We believe you have an employee who did this intentionally but you haven't explained this because then, of course, we'd all want to know who did it and then expect them to be fired, etc. 'See, the longer you all don't provide details, the more the pressure grows to know more.' The account for Elmo, under the handle @elmo, has more than 639,800 followers, and has been on the platform since November of 2012. 'Elmo lives on Sesame Street and was told to tell you that Elmo is official!' a bio line on the social media page read. On Sunday, it was clear the account had been commandeered by rogue actors, as a series of messages posted called for violence against Jewish people. The post repeated a series of antisemitic tropes and called for harm against Jewish people. The post also took aim at the president, saying, ' DONALD TRUMP IS NETANYAHU'S PUPPET BECAUSE HE IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILE.' One message tagged in President Donald Trump that read: 'RELEASE THE FILES @readDonaldTrump' along with an offensive term directed at Trump. The hacker also peppered in more sharp responses to people who condemned the racist prank. When one person expressed their frustration with the posts from the account, a profane response used a racial epithet aimed at Black people. When another person said they were going to mute Elmo, a response from the Elmo account contained a transphobic slur. The unlikely hack and subsequent shock messages led for Elmo to become a trending topic on the platform, with a number of different takes on the incident. 'Hacking the official Elmo account gotta be one of the most diabolical things this app has ever seen,' one response read. The account for Elmo, under the handle @elmo, has more than 639,800 followers, and has been on the platform since November of 2012 One social media user said that the incident provided an insight into how deeply antisemitism is embedded in some people A few people made reference to rapper Kanye West's history of antisemitic X posts, which he has since distanced himself from. 'Kanye and Elmo should collab sometime,' one user said, while another asked, 'Who let Kanye on Elmo's account?' One user posted a long-circulating meme of the Sesame Street character standing in front of flames to aptly summarize the situation with the hacker. One social media user said that the incident provided an insight into how deeply antisemitism is embedded in some people. 'This is a real tweet from the Elmo X account. It has since been deleted,' said the user. 'We're dealing with depraved immoral sociopaths who target even a beloved children's character in order to incite violence and hate against Jews.'

Josh Allen 'didn't react too great' to birthday surprise days before marrying Hailee Steinfeld
Josh Allen admits he initially wasn't too happy to find out on his birthday that the Buffalo Bills were being featured on the next series of 'Hard Knocks'. The superstar Bills quarterback, who married partner Hailee Steinfeld on May 31, was told while he was celebrating his 29th birthday on May 21 that most of his training camp would be documented by HBO cameras for the fly-on-the-wall NFL show. 'It was quite a surprise,' Allen, 29, told USA TODAY Sports. 'Typically, teams that make the playoffs were never a part of that conversation.' 'I probably, initially, didn't react too great to it,' he added. 'But I do think it's a cool opportunity for people to see some of the great men we have on our team and some of the great women we have in our staff as a whole.' Allen and the Bills narrowly missed out on a Super Bowl berth last season after another defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, this time in the AFC Championship game. The Chiefs also got the better of them in the 2023 Divisional playoffs. League rules previously prohibited teams that had made playoffs in the last two years, had a first-year head coach or had appeared on the show in the last decade from being selected for Hard Knocks. However, owners voted to eliminate the playoff stipulation of those rules prior to the 2024 season. 'I think it's a thing we can't let distract us,' Allen continued. 'Got to keep the main thing the main thing. But I also think it could be a fun opportunity for guys to show their personality. And people get a better insight for how the Buffalo Bills operate.' Just over a week after getting the Hard Knocks news, the reigning NFL MVP tied the knot with Marvel star Steinfeld, 28, in a beautiful ceremony at the San Ysidro ranch in Montecito, California. Exclusive photos showed the moment a beaming Steinfeld made her way up the aisle on the arm of her proud dad Peter, never taking her eyes off Allen. In a modern twist, the actress dispensed with the traditional bridal bouquet and instead, accessorized her gown with full-length white gloves, large diamond studs and a frothy veil. Later, the couple - who started dating in 2023 before getting engaged last November - were seen celebrating saying 'I do' with a kiss in front of a clapping crowd of guests, with a dark suit-clad Allen seen looking proud as he made his way back down the aisle with his new wife. He returned to Bills minicamp last month showing off a black wedding band as he spoke about a huge offseason which has also seen him win the MVP award and sign a record-setting contract with $250million guaranteed. 'They've all been big, none other than marrying my best friend, and she makes everything easier,' he told reporters of the accomplishments.
