Conor McGregor‘s exploits as a UFC star and his antics in and outside the cage were what brought him to the limelight. But over the years, he’s become arguably the biggest icon in the brief history of MMA.

As we all know, Conor McGregor has a Liverpudlian father and an Irish mother, Tony and Margaret. They have three children together, and ‘The Notorious’ is their only male child. The former UFC double champion has two beautiful sisters, and their names are Erin and Aoife. All three siblings had a rather modest upbringing, nothing too fancy.

Conor McGregor’s father was a real fighter, as he started doing menial jobs at the beginning before he met his mother in Ireland. Tony would later work as an assistant to a technician, before being able to afford a car to work as a cab driver for well over two decades. After the former ‘Champ Champ’ became a household name in the MMA scene, his father would transition to working for the church and engaging in social work.

Conor McGregor and his sisters were unquestionably raised by two hardworking parents, who never dropped the ball when it mattered the most. Now, let’s focus on his sisters, and first up, we’ll take a peek into the life of Erin McGregor.

Conor McGregor’s sister Erin has two children – a 24-year-old daughter Taylor from her previous relationship, and Harry, her son with Terry Kavanagh. Her daughter has always felt like Erin’s husband was her father ever since the couple started dating in 2014. Taylor even penned an emotional message to Kavanagh after their wedding.

He’s crying all day because he can’t get rid of that “sensory” pain he’s feeling. It’s something pain meds can’t really help with I’ve noticed on this journey,” wrote Erin as reported by ‘Evoke’. But now, the troubles seem to have died down a bit as the couple takes time to celebrate their union.
