Lana Del Rey recently exchanged vows with her new husband, Jeremy Dufrene, adding a surprising twist to her private life. The 39-year-old singer, known for hits like “Summertime Sadness,” tied the knot with Dufrene, an alligator tour guide, on September 26 in Des Allemandes, Louisiana. Pictures from the event captured Del Rey walking alongside her father, sister, and brother near Arthur’s Airboat Tours docks, dressed in a traditional wedding gown with a blue ribbon in her hair as her “something blue.” Meanwhile, Dufrene opted for a dark suit and gold accessories for the ceremony.
The couple, who received their marriage license just three days before the wedding, chose to celebrate with a gathering at the bayou and then at a public harbor. The wedding came as a surprise to many fans, as Del Rey and Dufrene’s relationship was kept under wraps until the ceremony.
Jeremy Dufrene, the newly-wedded husband of Lana Del Rey, is a 49-year-old father of two daughters who works as a tour guide at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours in Louisiana. Prior to his current role, Dufrene was reported to have worked at a chemical plant. His job involves taking visitors on tours to spot alligators, herons, egrets, and over 300 bird species, catering to various celebrities over the years, including Glen Powell, Kate Hudson, and Emma Roberts.
Dufrene first gained attention when Powell took his tour back in 2015 and praised their friendship on social media. Del Rey and Dufrene’s paths crossed in 2019 during the BUKU Music + Art Project festival, where Del Rey shared a photo with Dufrene on Instagram, endorsing his business. Their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship earlier this year, with photos of the couple appearing on social media and making public appearances together.
The newlyweds have been on a whirlwind journey from their quiet beginnings to a beautiful wedding celebration, leaving fans both surprised and intrigued by this development in Lana Del Rey’s personal life.
