Speaking about how his relationship has helped me succeed in his career, he told the Irish Mirror: 'My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially nothing.
'For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she’s ever wanted and to travel the world with, fills me with pride.'
He added: 'Every day, since I started out in this game, she’s supported me. She'd drive me to the gym, and she'd listen to all my dreams. 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.'
This will be the couple's second child, after they welcomed son Conor Jack, in May last year.
At the time, McGregor’s father Tony McGregor said the 'the whole family are absolutely delighted'.
He told Irish Mirror: 'We’ve experienced this recently with our eldest daughter and there’s no better feeling in the world than being a grandparent. The parents are absolutely over the moon and everyone is healthy.'
The duo recently celebrated their son's first birthday and shared glimpses of the sweet celebration on Instagram. Dee wrote: 'We had the best day yesterday for Conor Jr’s first birthday!! Happy birthday baby boy we love you 💙.'
