Conor McGregor said his wedding to Dee Devlin was guided by God after the couple got married in the Vatican’s oldest church following a late change to their wedding date.

The former UFC champion revealed that he and Devlin married at the Chiesa di Santo Stefano degli Abissini, a historic chapel behind St Peter’s Basilica, after receiving a request from the Vatican to move their ceremony earlier than planned.

McGregor, 37, said the couple married on 12th December 2025 at exactly 12:12pm, describing the timing as divinely significant. 

Writing on X on Monday, he said the date fell 151 days after his birthday, which he linked to Christian numerology connected to Jesus Christ.

“The exact 12:12pm timing was not my plan at all,” McGregor wrote. “A letter from the Vatican arrived just a week prior, requiring the ceremony to be moved earlier.”

He added that the alignments were “unmistakable signs of divine orchestration”, insisting the marriage was blessed by God.

In the same post, McGregor publicly declared his faith, writing: “Serving God is my number one priority… I love You, God.” 

He also expressed love for his wife, children and parents, thanking God for guiding his life.

Dee, who has four children with McGregor, stood by him after a civil court case where a jury found he sexually assaulted Nikita Hand. McGregor had denied the allegation and claimed the encounter was consensual, but the court rejected his account.

After last year's case, Devlin 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!"
