Soz hun.

We know your Insta game is strong – you’ve a solid mix of photos from nights out, holiday throwbacks and pouty selfies and you put serious effort into your filter and captions – but you’ve already been beaten by a baby.

Little Conor McGregor Junior, son of MMA star Conor McGregor and his partner is Dee Devlin, is already well on his way to becoming Insta-famous.

 

 

He’s barely a week old, but Junior already has a whopping 61.4 thousand followers on his Instagram page.

Despite not having posted a single photo yet (it’s hard to hold a phone with those teeny fingers), the baby has a following bigger than the population of County Monaghan (61,273 people).

While he’s a good bit behind his dad (12.8m followers) and mum (665k followers), he’s streets ahead of some of Ireland’s biggest household names.

He’s ahead of Ryan Tubridy (12.8k), Keith Duffy (46.9k), Katie Taylor (50.9k) and even social media legend James Kavanagh (47.7k).

And the good news for his parents is that Junior can already start making bank from his famous name.

According to Business Insider, social media influencers with over 50,000 followers can make up to $1,000 per Instagram post.

Just something to think about – while you’re getting up at 7am to face into 8-plus hours in the office, a baby who can’t even roll over yet has the potential to earn thousands from a photo.
