Lana Del Rey, the renowned singer, has officially tied the knot with alligator swamp tour guide Jeremy Dufrene in Louisiana. The news of their marriage was confirmed after their marriage license was signed and returned to the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court where it was filed last Friday.
Speculation about the couple’s relationship status had been circulating for several weeks before the official confirmation. The document, obtained by The Associated Press, revealed that the wedding ceremony was officiated by Los Angeles pastor Judah Smith, known for his association with Justin Bieber. Interestingly, a track on Del Rey’s 2023 album called “Judah Smith Interlude” credits Smith as a co-writer.
TMZ initially reported on September 26 that Lana Del Rey, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, and Jeremy Dufrene had obtained a marriage license. The license, obtained from the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court on September 23, was not immediately returned and processed, but it was later confirmed that the couple had indeed tied the knot in Des Allemands, Louisiana.
According to the marriage license, the ceremony took place at 3:33 pm in Des Allemands, where Dufrene works as a captain at Airboat Tours by Arthur in the bayou. The couple listed their residence as Des Allemands, an unincorporated community in St. Charles Parish. Although the exact timeline of their relationship is unknown, photos of the pair have been circulating since 2019, when Del Rey took one of Dufrene’s swamp tours.
Lana Del Rey, a multiple Grammy-nominated artist, is known for her nostalgic and romantic pop music that often pays homage to vintage Americana. With nine studio albums under her belt, she gained widespread recognition for hits like “Summertime Sadness” from her 2012 album “Born to Die.”
Despite the public interest in their relationship, representatives for Lana Del Rey did not confirm the marriage when initially contacted, and they have not provided any further comments following the official confirmation.
