She was also working with the Assets Model Agency in Dublin and is a core member of McGregor’s finance, equipment, and training teams.

The couple is not only parents to four children but McGregor and Devlin are business associates. Devlin is an associate of the ‘Mystic Mac’s’ management and promotional units and helps coordinate his schedule and sponsor appearances.
“Every day, since I started in this game, she’s supported me. She’d drive me to the gym, and she’d listen to all my dreams,“ McGregor declared to VIP Magazine in 2015, “Dee is a lifesaver for me. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for her, and that’s for sure. I’m doing all of this for her.” Devlin is his strongest supporter and even changed professions for him. However what about her early life and education before meeting the love of her life?
