Lana Del Rey Is Married! Here's Everything We Know
Lana Del Rey has reportedly tied the knot in a surprising and intimate ceremony with Jeremy Dufrene, a Louisiana alligator tour guide.
The wedding, which took place on September 26, 2024, was held in Des Allemands, Louisiana, at the public bayou where Dufrene operates his swamp tours.
The Wedding Details
The couple exchanged vows in a waterfront ceremony surrounded by close family and friends. Del Rey wore a vintage-style white gown with a ruffled neckline, her hair elegantly styled with a blue ribbon, while Dufrene opted for a classic dark suit. Photos from the event show Lana being walked down the aisle by her father, Robert Grant.
The wedding setup included white tents with chairs and tables, and a small boat decorated with greenery and flowers docked nearby, enhancing the charming bayou atmosphere. Lana’s siblings Caroline Grant and Charlie Hill-Grant were also present at the ceremony.
Who Is Jeremy Dufrene?
Jeremy Dufrene is a 56-year-old Louisiana native who works as a captain at Arthur’s Airboat Tours, guiding visitors through the swamps and introducing them to his “Cajun yard dogs”—a nickname he uses for alligators. Jeremy's life took a turn from working at a chemical plant to becoming a beloved swamp tour guide.
The couple reportedly met in 2019 when Lana took one of Jeremy’s wildlife tours while performing at the BUKU Music + Art Project in Louisiana. Though their relationship didn't become romantic until much later, the two reconnected in 2024, and were seen together at various events, including the Leeds Festival and Karen Elson’s wedding in New York City.
A Private Love Story
Despite their whirlwind romance, Del Rey and Dufrene have kept a very low profile, with little known about their private life together. The couple sparked dating rumors earlier this year, but it wasn’t until now that their relationship status was confirmed in such a significant way.
Fans are excited and surprised by the unexpected news of Lana Del Rey’s marriage, and while the couple has yet to make an official public statement, the intimate setting and unconventional romance feel quintessentially Lana.
A Milestone Year for Lana
Lana's career has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, marked by artistic triumphs, public controversies, and personal transformations. Despite being labeled a “fake feminist” throughout her career, she has remained strong in her artistic vision and personal beliefs. Critics have often targeted her feminine themes and vintage aesthetic, accusing her of glamorizing toxic relationships and lacking a feminist stance. Yet, Lana never wavered; instead, she responded with a series of bold artistic choices that redefined her narrative.
Similarly, after facing scrutiny over her weight, she re-emerged looking incredible at Coachella and with a renewed focus on her art. The performance was a perfect way to celebrate her evolution: a woman who has weathered criticism, embraced change, and continued to create on her terms.
Today, she seems happier than ever, especially in her personal life, with a sense of peace that many of her fans have long hoped for her to find.
