Conor McGregor sparked a fresh wave of speculation after sporting a new ring that appeared to be a wedding band and hinting at marriage plans with his longtime partner, Dee Devlin. The UFC star addressed his personal evolution and relationship, describing Devlin as his "wife-to-be" during a speaking engagement in Rome on October 23, 2025, ahead of a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event. "I am not here just by chance. There is a higher power, God, that dictates my journey and all of our journeys," he said.
