Conor McGregor’s undoubtedly one of the most popular sportsmen in the world. Even those who aren’t necessarily into MMA know Conor’s name. He angers some with his antics, the way he’s conducted himself at times, but by and large, he has star appeal and has acquired a massive fanbase.
Conor knows how to get himself out there. He’s flash, has style, personality, and more often than not, can back it all up in the octagon. We’re used to seeing him joking around at press conferences and on chat shows, being the cheeky chappy, dressing like a boss in his tailor-made suits, running his mouth and giving attitude to his opponents, going to town on them in the Octagon, and making a ton of cash in the process. But what about what goes on behind the scenes, when the cameras aren’t rolling?
Conor’s a family man, loves nothing more than being at home with his nearest and dearest. There's his partner, Dee Devlin, and he’s dad to two adorable kids, Conor Jack McGregor Jr. and Croia McGregor. He’s a different man when they’re around.
Everything he does, putting it all on the line in the octagon, all the trash talk, all the money-making activities, it’s all for them. These Instagram pics show what it’s all about for Conor. Here are 15 IG photos that show a different side to Conor McGregor as a dad.
15 Croia The Style Queen
Conor’s looking a little worse for wear in this pic. He looks like he had a long night caring for the kids! His daughter, Croia, is certainly out styling him and out posing him in this pic. She’s becoming a style queen at a very young age. As a McGregor, she’s kind of got to be!
14 Teaching His Son To Be A Champion
Occasionally, Conor posts pretty inspiring messages on social media. He posted this pic along with a little message writing that it’s important to envisage yourself as you want to be and that nobody can take that away. Dream big and make it happen, just as Conor did! Having said that, just imagine if Junior grows up to be Batman. A Batman – McGregor combo would be too much for anyone to handle!
13 Absolutely Smitten
This is a pic that that was taken a few weeks ago during the lockdown in Ireland. It’s a beautiful pic of Conor and his daughter. He brought her and the family along because he was going to do a few interviews at a media center. The day soon took a turn for the worse as he learned that his aunt had lost her battle with the virus.
12 Keeping Junior Entertained
Conor McGregor’s a busy man. But he always finds time for family. With his hectic schedule, always flitting about the place, these moments are in short supply. But he relishes them, just a casual day out to a restaurant with the family. Conor looks like he’s on entertaining duties!
11 Rocking The Super Bowl
Junior, being as young as he was, probably didn’t appreciate it at the time. But when he looks back at these pics in years to come, he’ll have to pinch himself. Not everybody gets to walk out to rapturous applause at the Super Bowl, one of the biggest sporting events on the planet! Junior was certainly all dressed up for the occasion, was twinning with his dad.
10 Supporting The Family
Conor’s tight with his entire family. When there’s something to celebrate, when one of his family is taking part in or has accomplished something, the entire family comes out as a collective in their full support. Conor’s sister, Erin was taking part in a pantomime show, and Conor decided to bring the whole family along for a comical Irish affair.
9 It’s Christmas Time
Christmas is a magical time for kids. Kids get excited at the prospect of presents, lots of fun and games with the family. It’s just a joyous time of the year and it’s no different in the McGregor household. His kids haven’t had many Christmases, so when the festive period comes around, it’s time to celebrate.
8 A Visit To Santa
What makes Christmas magical? Sure, the presents. But Santa plays a big part! The McGregor kids had been good this year, well behaved, so they got to visit Santa Clause for a little Christmas treat. They seem to have been a little distracted. No-doubt they soon got into the Christmas spirit!
7 Imparting His Wisdom
A lot of fighters say, when they have kids, that they fight so their kids won’t have to. Plenty of fighters are against their kids following in their footsteps. Whether that’s how Conor thinks or not, it can’t hurt to teach them a thing or two. Conor’s imparting his wisdom, and is getting his son started out early.
6 Giving Croia a taste of Ireland
Conor McGregor’s an Irish superstar. He’s done his home nation proud and loves everything to do with Ireland. He may be used to fighting in The States, the big stage, but he hasn’t forgotten his roots. He wants his daughter to know what it’s like being Irish, and that means grubbing on some traditional, hearty, Irish stew.
