Conor McGregor was spotted dancing late into the night with his wife Dee Devlin following their secret Vatican wedding, as the newlyweds celebrated with a lavish party in Rome.
The former MMA fighter, 37, quietly married his long-time partner, 38, during a private ceremony at the Chiesa di Santo Stefano degli Abissini — a small church tucked behind St Peter’s Basilica — on Friday.
Details of the ceremony were kept tightly under wraps. However, shortly after exchanging vows, the couple were seen being driven through Rome in a white 1930s Rolls Royce Phantom III, decorated with flowers and ribbons.
Newlyweds Spotted Cruising Rome in Vintage Style
The pair appeared relaxed and happy as they were whisked through the Italian capital. McGregor looked sharp in a black tuxedo with a waistcoat and bow tie, while Ms Devlin — who shares four children with the Irishman — wore a white lace dress, subtle diamond earrings and her hair styled in an elegant updo.
Celebrations carried on well into the night, with the couple later attending a luxury party at an undisclosed location, complete with a live band and a roll-your-own cigar station.
‘All Night Long’ on the Dancefloor 
Footage shared on social media showed McGregor posing for photos with his wife before breaking into energetic dance moves to Lionel Richie’s 1983 hit All Night Long.
The sports star could be seen throwing his arms into the air, cigar in hand, as he and Ms Devlin took to the dancefloor alongside several guests dressed in sparkling, sequinned outfits.
A Ceremony Kept Under Tight Secrecy
Sources close to McGregor had confirmed to Daily Mail that the wedding was set to take place on Friday, though all details were deliberately kept quiet.
Insiders previously revealed that while the couple had hoped to marry in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican rules prohibit weddings there. Instead, they opted for a nearby chapel within Vatican City.
A source said:
“Conor and Dee wanted to get married before Christmas and were determined to wed at the Vatican. They are both staunch Catholics and it has always been their dream.”
‘She Keeps Me Grounded’
McGregor has often credited Ms Devlin with being a stabilising force in his life.
“Dee is a lifesaver for me,” he previously said.
“I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for her. I’m doing all of this for her.
“Every day since I started out in this game, she’s supported me — driving me to the gym and listening to all my dreams.”
Standing By Him Through Turbulent Times
Ms Devlin has remained publicly supportive of McGregor following last year’s High Court civil case in Dublin, in which a jury found he had sexually assaulted Nikita Hand at a hotel in 2018.
McGregor denied the allegation, claiming the encounter was consensual, but the jury rejected his account. His appeal was later dismissed by Ireland’s Supreme Court, and he was ordered to pay damages and legal costs.
Following the ruling, Ms 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 whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who we are.”
A New Chapter After a Tumultuous Year
The wedding also comes after McGregor’s unsuccessful bid to run for the presidency of Ireland earlier this year — a campaign he ended in September after failing to secure enough support.
At the time, he said the decision followed “careful reflection” and consultation with his family.
As the couple quietly begin married life, their secret Vatican vows and late-night celebrations mark a dramatic — and deeply personal — new chapter.
