Lana Del Rey Marries Alligator Tour Guide Jeremy Dufrene

Lana Del Rey, renowned for her melancholic melodies and vintage Hollywood style, has married Jeremy Dufrene, a Louisiana alligator tour guide. The ceremony occurred on September 26, 2024, by the waters of Des Allemandes, a location significant to Dufrene‘s airboat tours.

Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, wore a flowing white gown as she walked down the aisle with her father, Robert Grant. In a classic black suit, Dufrene awaited her in a picturesque bayou setting, mirroring the natural beauty often found in Del Rey‘s music.

The couple’s swift transition from publicizing their relationship to marriage surprised many. They obtained a marriage license just days before the wedding, as confirmed by the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court. This quick progression has intrigued fans who follow Del Rey‘s private life through her introspective music.

Dufrene, known for his wildlife tours, has been part of Del Rey‘s life since at least 2019. Though their relationship was previously private, it was hinted at through social media and sightings at events like Karen Elson‘s wedding.

The wedding, a mix of privacy and public interest, saw photos and videos emerge online, capturing moments from the ceremony to the celebrations. This event, shared despite Del Rey‘s typically reserved nature, reflects either a new openness or simply the joy of the occasion.

Following the wedding, Del Rey announced her upcoming album “Lasso,” set for a 2025 release, exploring country and Americana sounds that resonate with the wedding’s setting. Fans are eager to see how this personal milestone will influence her new music.
