regardless of

Without considering whether

Regardless of means without being affected or influenced by: Regardless of the outcome, I'm proud of what we accomplished.

It introduces a factor that doesn't change the main point—the weather, someone's opinion, the cost.

Often interchangeable with "no matter" or "irrespective of." The phrase sometimes gets confused with or blended into "irregardless," which many consider nonstandard.
