Conor McGregor’s public life has long been marked by controversy and scrutiny tied to legal issues and outspoken views. Those matters often overshadowed his accomplishments in MMA. In recent months, however, the Irishman has shown signs of improved conduct and a more positive public image. That shift was reflected in a recent post sharing photos from his wedding to long-time partner Dee Devlin.

McGregor and Devlin were married on December 12, 2025, with the ceremony taking place precisely at 12:12 PM. The wedding was held inside the Chapel of Santo Stefano degli Abissini, recognized as the oldest church in Vatican City. The couple shares four children together: Conor Jr., Croía, Rían, and Mack. Their family has remained a constant presence throughout McGregor’s public and professional life.

In the post, McGregor explained the symbolism behind the wedding date and timing, referencing Jesus Christ and biblical numerology. He noted how the number 151 connected his birthday and the ceremony date. The caption presented the moment as spiritually significant rather than coincidental. He also referenced his recent psychedelic-influenced treatment while reflecting on personal belief.

The exact 12:12 pm timing was not my plan at all. A letter from the Vatican arrived just a week prior, requiring the ceremony to be moved earlier. It then took place officially, at precisely 12:12pm. I awoke from the treatment I underwent in Mexico with the most intense need to wed Dee on this day, and in the Vatican. So, I set about it with great urgency! It is clear this was not coincidence. God’s hand guided every detail, confirming His blessing on our union and his presence in my life.

McGregor has previously spoken about undergoing an Ibogaine treatment in Tijuana, Mexico, as part of a spiritual process. The treatment reportedly lasted around 36 hours and involved intense psychological effects. He stated that the experience forced him to confront his own mortality and personal direction. The Irishman also said it led him to reflect deeply on the future and well-being of his children.

While McGregor has a reputation for a party-focused lifestyle, he has recently spent more time with his family. He shared a photo with Devlin and their four children at the Irish amusement park Funderland. The outing highlighted moments of family away from competition and controversy. The ‘Notorious One’ was also seen enjoying time with his eldest son, Conor Jack Jr, as he played video games.

The Irish fighter was recently cleared of his 2023 NBA Finals assault case, removing a major legal issue from his public record. He has also shown growing support for the people and the Republic of Ireland, his home nation, through public appearances and gestures. These steps reflect a shift toward a more responsible public image. McGregor now appears to be entering a more balanced phase of his life.

Armenia is constructing a massive statue of Jesus on Mount Hatis near Yerevan, funded by businessman Gagik Tsarukyan. Intended to be the world’s tallest, it aims to symbolize national faith and boost tourism. Construction resumed after earlier environmental and cultural halts, sparking debate but continuing as a major religious landmark. The project inspired McGregor to propose a similar statue in Ireland.

I have a dream to construct the largest statue of Jesus Christ in Ireland! A massive monument to our nations faith. Armenia are currently constructing the world’s largest and it looks magnificent! Bravo Armenia! Let’s go Ireland!

Conor McGregor later tied his proposal to themes of spiritual renewal and national heritage, highlighting the significance of faith in Ireland. He noted that his post coincided with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, a Christian observance celebrated in early January. The alignment underscored his intention to connect the statue idea with both religious tradition and personal belief.
